Citizens' guidance manual for the Technical Assistance Grant Program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6363786

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), which amended CERCLA, provides under section 117(e) an important new component of EPA's community relations activities at Superfund sites--technical assistance grants to affected groups. The purpose of these grants is to assist citizens' groups in understanding technical information that assesses potential hazards and the selection and design of appropriate response actions at Superfund sites. This manual outlines Federal policies, procedures, and regulations related to the Technical Assistance Grant Program and provides instructions on how to complete Federal grant forms. If a State administers the Technical Assistance Grant Program, the State may have additional procedures and requirements that affect citizens' groups applying for grants within that State. Groups, therefore, should contact the appropriate State representative for specific information. This manual is designed to help citizens' groups apply for and manage a technical assistance grant. It is written as a self-help guide in an easy-to-understand manner. Step-by-step instructions for completing various forms are included throughout the manual.
