Vulnerability Index. Please use 

Community Look-Up Map to look up a 

map or list to determine if your project

Applications from and benefiting a 

Rural Partner’s Network’s (RPN)

Networks exist in Alaska, Arizona, 

Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada,

applicant is proposing to serve. For

(iii) Addressing Climate Change and 

Environmental Justice: Reducing 

climate pollution and increasing 

resilience to the impacts of climate 

change through economic support to 

rural communities (5 points). 

Applicants can receive priority points 

through one of the three options listed 

below: 

Option 1: Applicants will receive 

points if the project is located in or 

serves a Disadvantaged Community as 

defined by the Climate and Economic 

Justice Screening Tool (CEJST), from the 

White House Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ). CEJST is a tool to help 

Federal agencies identify disadvantaged 

communities that will benefit from 

programs included in the Justice40 

initiative. Census tracts are considered 

disadvantaged if they meet the 

thresholds for at least one of the CEJST’s 

eight (8) categories of burden: Climate, 

Energy, Health, Housing, Legacy 

Pollution, Transportation, Water and 

Wastewater, or Workforce Development. 

Option 2: Applicants will receive 

points if the project is located in or 

serves an Energy Community as defined 

by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 

The IRA defines energy communities as: 

• A ‘‘brownfield site’’ (as defined in 

certain subparagraphs of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA)). 

• A ‘‘metropolitan statistical area’’ or 

‘‘non-metropolitan statistical area’’ that 

has (or had at any time after 2009). 

• 0.17% or greater direct employment 

or 25% or greater local tax revenues 

related to the extraction, processing, 

transport, or storage of coal, oil, or 

natural gas; and has an unemployment 

rate at or above the national average 

unemployment rate for the previous 

year. 

• A census tract (or directly adjoining 

census tract) in which a coal mine has 

closed after 1999; or in which a coalfired electric generating unit has been 

retired after 2009. 

Option 3: Applicants will receive 

points by demonstrating through written 

narrative how proposed climate-impact 

projects improve the livelihoods of 

community residents and meet 

pollution mitigation or clean energy 

goals. 

To determine if your project qualifies 

for priority points under Option 1 or 

Option 2, please use the Disadvantaged 

Community & Energy Community LookUp Map. Provide a copy of the map 

showing the project is eligible to claim 

points. 

The minimum score requirement for 

grants awarded under this funding 

opportunity is 50 points. Final scores 

are determined by the Agency. The 

Agency reserves the right to withhold 

the awarding of funds for applications 

that fail to meet the minimum required 

final score. 

Meeting the minimum scoring 

requirements and/or receiving priority 

funding points or discretionary points 

from the Administrator does not 

guarantee a funding award. 

The Agency will notify all responding 

entities whether their application has 

been accepted or rejected and provide 

appeal rights under 7 CFR part 11, as 

appropriate.
