Demonstration Pilots

deadlines, revised guidelines.
------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will
begin to accept proposals for the National Brownfields Assessment Pilots on
October 30, 1998. The brownfields assessment pilots (each funded up to $200,000 over two years) test cleanup and redevelopment planning models, direct special efforts toward removing regulatory barriers without sacrificing protectiveness, and facilitate coordinated environmental cleanup and redevelopment efforts at the federal, state, and local levels. EPA
expects to select up to 100 additional National brownfields assessment pilots by May 1999. Applications will be accepted on a ``rolling submissions'' schedule. The deadlines for new applications for the 1999 assessment pilots are December 11, 1998, and March 22, 1999. Applications postmarked after December 11, 1998, will be considered in the second round of competition.
Previously unsuccessful applicants are advised that they must revise and
resubmit their applications. The National brownfields assessment pilots
are administered on a competitive basis. To ensure a fair selection process,
evaluation panels consisting of EPA Regional and Headquarters staff and
other federal agency representatives will assess how well the proposals
meet the selection criteria outlined in the newly revised application booklet The Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative: Proposal Guidelines for Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots (October 1998).DATES: This action is effective as of October 30, 1998, and expires on March 22,1999.
All proposals must be postmarked or sent to EPA via registered or
tracked mail by the expiration dates cited above. Applications postmarked after December 11, 1998, will be considered in the second round of
competition.ADDRESSES: Application booklets can be obtained by calling
