About this program

The Department of Energy operates the Technical Assistance for Local and Tribal Governments program (CFDA 81.067), which has not disbursed grant awards since October 2012—over fourteen years ago. The portfolio comprises only four total awards spanning from 1995 to 2012, with no discernible active grant opportunities currently posted. Award cadence was extremely sparse: one award in 1995, one in 2001, one in 2006, and one in 2012, suggesting this program is either dormant or inactive.

The program funded technical assistance and information-sharing activities serving local and tribal government stakeholders. Funded activities included peer-exchange forums, policy bulletins, special reports, and the distribution of environmental management and federal facilities policy information to public forums. The assistance-type mix split between Cooperative Agreements (50 percent of awards), Project Grants (25 percent), and Block Grants (25 percent).

The Department of Energy was the sole funder, obligating $2.6 million in combined federal dollars across all four awards. Representative recent awards illustrate the program's scope: a Cooperative Agreement awarded in December 2001 for $681 thousand supporting the Energy Communities Alliance bulletin, peer exchanges, and DOE issue forums; and an earlier Cooperative Agreement awarded in December 1995 for $1.797 million supporting collection and distribution of environmental management policy information to public forums. A Block Grant awarded in June 2006 for $110 thousand funded the ECOS Federal Facilities Forum.

No recent grant opportunities are documented in the source. The prolonged absence of awards or solicitations since 2012 and the lack of posted opportunities suggest this program is not actively recruiting new applicants. Organizations evaluating this program should confirm current operational status with the Department of Energy before investing pursuit resources.
