This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has been modified to add Mandatory Grant Disclosure language to Section IV.2. Content and Form of Application Submission. The addition of language to the FOA regarding this requirement does NOT require applicants that have already submitted an application package to take action. If it is not submitted with the application package, it must be submitted prior to the award of a grant, provided there is a reportable disclosure. The Administration for Children and Families, Administration for Native Americans announces the availability of Fiscal Year 2017 funds for community-based projects for the Environmental Regulatory Enhancement program. The Environmental program provides funding for projects that support the development, enforcement, and monitoring of tribal environmental quality and regulatory programs. The purpose of the Environmental Regulatory Enhancement (ERE) program is to provide funding for the costs of planning, developing, and implementing programs designed to improve the capability of tribal governing bodies to regulate environmental quality pursuant to federal and tribal environmental laws. The ERE program supports the principle that projects must follow tribal cultural preservation and natural resource management priorities in order to achieve environmentally healthy, sustainable Native American and Alaska Native communities. The Administration for Native Americans (ANA) is therefore interested in supporting locally designed projects that strengthen tribal environmental regulatory programs in a manner consistent with the goals of native communities.
