Performance Partnership Grants for State and Tribal Environmental Program: Revised Interim Guidance

The ``Performance Partnership Grants for State and Tribal Environmental Programs: Revised Interim Guidance'' is the revised version of the Performance Partnership Grant (PPG) guidance dated July 1996. This revision reflects the expanded authority provided in EPA's FY 1998 Appropriation Act to award PPGs to Interstate Agencies, Intertribal Consortia, and Air Pollution Control Agencies. The revision also incorporates some of the policy decisions made since July 1996 that impact PPGs. These decisions include items such as replacing references to four different application requirements with one set of requirements, adding new definitions and terms to reflect results-based management, adding the term ``workplan component'' along with requirements that the work plan be organized by workplan components, incorporating the use of multi-year grant budget periods, and adding Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) reporting language. This revised guidance will serve as the operating guidance for States and Tribes interested in applying for PPGs. EPA will be proposing regulations governing the PPG program in FY1999. PPGs are intended to provide States and Tribes with greater flexibility
