Overview of Recovery Act Funding for the National Clean Diesel Campaign
EPA-ARRA-OAR-OTAQ-09-05 Closing Date: May 5, 2009
Recovery Act Funding for the Clean Diesel Emerging Technology Program
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s National Clean Diesel Campaign is announcing the availability of funding assistance through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005). Under the Recovery Act and EPAct 2005, EPA’s Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program is soliciting applications for projects that can be commenced quickly, reduce diesel emissions, and maximize job preservation and/or creation and economic recovery through the use, development and commercialization of emerging technologies. An emerging technology is a device or system that reduces emissions from diesel engines or diesel engine powered vehicles or equipment that has not been certified or verified by EPA or the California Air Resources Board (CARB) but for which an approvable application and test plan have been submitted for verification. Only those technologies that have been approved and placed on EPA’s Emerging Technology List, found at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/diesel/prgemerglist.htm, qualify as emerging technologies for the purpose of this funding solicitation.
