This is the standard assistance form a state must submit to EPA in order to receive a grant. Some of the information a state must submit to EPA in order to receive a grant does not change annually. Each year a state must prepare an Intended Use Plan describing how it will direct funds within the program. This plan must be made available to the public for review and comment. It must include a description of the criteria the state uses to prioritize projects for funding, an identification of the projects to be funded, and a description of how it will use set-aside funds.
Some states elect to submit an annual report.
Among the required elements, a state must describe how it has addressed the goals and objectives outlined in its IUP, show which projects received funds, and describe how set-aside funds were used. Examples are provided for two years - FY1999 and FY2000 .
