There are two in Region 5: one in Minneapolis and one in Chicago. The TCTACs are separate from this RFA ; however, they cover the entire Great Lakes…

Does EPA have a minimum threshold/definition for the Regional scale program? In other words, what does Regional mean or is it open to applicants to determine at any scale?
GLNPO wants to be extremely flexible and encourage PRs to think about which regions they could expect to effectively cover when creating their application. There are no additional criteria from EPA on how big or small the Project RFA should be.

The principal recipient may fund subaward projects within AOCs, provided the primary focus of the project meets the eligibility requirements. EPA will work closely with selected principal recipients as part of our substantial involvement to ensure there is adequate coordination with state and federal AOC programs.

Will basin wide PR serve areas without a designated PR for smaller part of the region, or will their service areas overlap?
If the Project RFA will be serving the entire basin, I.e., a basin-wide GLEJGP, this could be delegated within a coalition (if it is a coalition that has applied). Otherwise, the PR organization will be serving the entire basin. If there is a basin-wide PR as well as a smaller…

If a state does not have any federal or state recognized tribal lands, can PR applicants include outreach projects in similar communities that are not formally recognized? Does the screening need to rely on tools of economic factors?
Applicants do not need to rely solely on EJ Screen or the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool to justify inclusion of communities that may not be formal recognized. If applicants can make the case for why these communities are underserved and have needs that could be met through this…
