a motion for leave to intervene is timely

filed, or if the Commission on its own

motion believes that formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Sustainable Development Challenge

Grant Program

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Solicitation of Proposals for FY

1996; Request for Comments on Program

Design for Full Implementation in FY

1997.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) announces and

solicits applications for a new

competitive grant program, the

Sustainable Development Challenge

Grant (SDCG) program, one of President

Clinton’s ‘‘high priority’’ actions

described in the March 16, 1995 report,

‘‘Reinventing Environmental

Regulation.’’ The EPA expects to fund a

limited number of pilot projects in FY

1996 through the new SDCG program.

EPA is also asking for comments on the

program design to help develop a full

scale program for FY 1997. The

Sustainable Development Challenge

Grant program is intended to

‘‘encourage community, business, and

government to work cooperatively to

develop flexible, locally-oriented

approaches that link place-based

environmental management with

sustainable development and

revitalization.’’ The SDCG program will

challenge communities to invest in a

sustainable future that links

environmental protection and economic

prosperity to provide equitable

opportunities for health, safety and

well-being. These grants are intended to:

catalyze community-based and regional

projects to promote sustainable

development; build partnerships to

increase community long-term capacity

to protect the environment; and leverage

public and private investments to

enhance environmental quality by

enabling sustainable community efforts

to continue beyond EPA funding.

information on the Sustainable

Development Challenge Grant program;
