Territories Considered Disadvantaged Communities in Two NOFOs

Under this announcement where considerations are given to Disadvantaged communities*, EPA will also give similar consideration consistent with 33 U.S.C. 4282 to all communities located in a U.S. Territory.

In the case of these recently announced NOFOs from EPA, applicants from the U.S. Territories can now may now submit must submit a screenshot of CEJST along with a brief narrative to illustrate that the proposed project will benefit a disadvantaged community, and/or that the proposed project is located in a U.S. Territory. Applicants from territories can attest that they are located in a territory without submitting a screenshot of CEJST, previously required to illustrate that the proposed project would benefit a Disadvantaged community. If a project is intended to serve multiple communities, only one needs to be meet the definition of disadvantaged community as defined by the CEJST or be located in a U.S. Territory in order to be considered a Track 1 application.
