Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OA OSDBU 17 01
This Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA OA OSDBU 17 01) offers funding through a cooperative agreement to support the planning, hosting, and facilitation of the national training conference for the State Small Business Ombudsman (SBO) and Small Business Environmental Assistance Provider (SBEAP) 507 Programs. These programs were established under Section 507 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and focus on helping small businesses understand and comply with environmental regulations, especially air quality requirements. The intent of the award is to strengthen the nationwide network of state and trust territory 507 programs by ensuring they have a well-organized, high-quality in-person training and collaboration event.
The core purpose is to fund the logistical and programmatic support needed to run a biannual (every two years) 507 Program Training Conference. While 507 program staff typically meet in person annually to maintain partnerships and share resources, this specific funding is limited to supporting the training conference on a biannual basis only. The conference is meant to keep the nationally dispersed state and trust territory compliance-assistance teams connected, improve coordination across jurisdictions, and create a consistent way to exchange tools, best practices, and up-to-date compliance and sustainability information that small businesses can use.
The opportunity emphasizes that the 507 programs do not operate in isolation. They routinely collaborate by communicating across states and territories, distributing and exchanging information about compliance assistance activities, and identifying practical environmental compliance and sustainability resources tailored to small businesses. The conference funded under this announcement is designed to reinforce those collaborative functions by bringing participants together for regulatory and technical training, resource development, and sharing of program content that can be used back home to support local small business communities.
Funding is intended for an entity capable of conference support work such as event planning, coordination, hosting arrangements, and facilitation of training sessions. The end beneficiaries include SBO and SBEAP staff across states and U.S. trust territories, as well as the broader small business community that must comply with environmental regulations. By improving training access and the development and dissemination of assistance resources, the conference is positioned as a practical mechanism to enhance the quality and consistency of environmental compliance help provided to small businesses and, indirectly, to improve public environmental outcomes.
Key details from the notice include: the opportunity is discretionary, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the activity category is environment, and the CFDA number listed is 66.610.
