EPA ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This section includes the roles and responsibilities of EPA to carry out the work plan commitments. If the assistance agreement is funded as a grant, the EPA will not have substantial involvement in the accomplishment of work plan commitments. EPA will monitor progress and provide technical assistance as needed to ensure project completion.

If the assistance agreement is funded as a cooperative agreement, EPA will be substantially involved in work plan activities, and EPA roles and responsibilities must be clearly negotiated and defined in the work plan.

Authority

The Tribe has developed this proposal under the statutory authority provided by the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program Act of 1992.

JOINT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROCESS

The GAP Project Officer should outline the joint evaluation process and reporting schedule in the work plan. The evaluation process must provide for a discussion of accomplishments as measured against work plan commitments; a discussion of the cumulative effectiveness of the work performed under all work plan components; a discussion of existing and potential problem areas; and suggestions for improvement, including, where feasible, schedules for making improvements.

Consistent with EPA Grants Policy Issuance (GPI) 13-02: Streamlining Tribal Grants Management, the typical frequency of progress reporting will be semi-annual or annual as approved by the GAP Project Officer.
