Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA I OCSPP OPPT FY2022 001
The FY 2022 to FY 2023 Pollution Prevention (P2) Grant Program, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) competitive grant opportunity aimed at helping businesses reduce pollution at its source. The program funds two-year projects that deliver practical technical assistance to businesses, such as training, informational resources, assessment tools, and other hands-on support that helps organizations identify and adopt source reduction practices. In this context, "pollution prevention" means reducing or eliminating pollutants before they ever enter a waste stream or get released into the environment, rather than focusing on downstream approaches like recycling, treatment, or disposal after pollution has already been generated.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to accelerate adoption of pollution prevention practices consistent with the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. EPA is emphasizing P2 because it is often one of the most cost-effective and high-impact ways to protect the environment and public health while improving operational efficiency. By preventing pollution up front, businesses can lower the amount of toxic or hazardous substances used, reduce emissions and discharges, and cut down on waste generation. The EPA also highlights that these improvements can lead to reduced use of water, energy, and raw materials, which not only benefits environmental outcomes but can directly reduce operating costs for participating businesses.
This opportunity is structured as a discretionary funding competition, and awards may be issued as either grants or cooperative agreements. It falls under the environmental assistance funding category and is listed under CFDA number 66.708. The EPA identifies the program using Funding Opportunity Number EPA I OCSPP OPPT FY2022 001, and the opportunity was originally posted on February 9, 2022 with an original closing date of April 11, 2022 (with applicants directed to consult the full announcement, including Section IV, for official submission requirements, methods, and due date details).
Eligible applicants are primarily governmental and public entities rather than private businesses. Entities eligible to apply include U.S. states and state entities, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories or possessions. Federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia are also eligible. While the program is designed to assist businesses, the grants are intended for these eligible public-sector and tribal applicants to run programs that provide the assistance and capacity-building services to businesses within their jurisdictions or service areas.
In terms of award size and scale, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $350,000, and EPA anticipated making about 50 awards. Overall, the program is designed to expand on-the-ground pollution prevention support by funding projects that can measurably help businesses implement source reduction strategies, achieve environmental benefits, and realize efficiency and cost savings through reduced resource use and reduced waste and pollutant generation.Apply for EPA I OCSPP OPPT FY2022 001
