SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The following corrections have been made to the guidelines that are posted at http://www.epa.gov/brownfields :

On page 19 of the Proposal Guidelines for Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Grants, an error was found in the section, Revolving Loan Fund, Threshold Criteria D, Site Eligibility and Property Ownership Eligibility. The first sentence is incorrect. It should read, “If you do not have specific sites identified, please move on to Threshold Criteria E, Cleanup Authority and Oversight Structure.”

Also, for Threshold Criteria C, Letter from the State or Tribal Environmental Authority, for both Revolving Loan Fund and Cleanup Grants, the first sentence should read, “For an applicant other than a state or tribal environmental authority, provide a current letter from the appropriate state or tribal environmental authority acknowledging that the applicant plans to conduct cleanup activities and is planning to apply for federal grant funds.”
