1. Sign your Assistance Agreement
Before EPA can process any payment to your organization, you must sign and return the EPA Assistance Agreement/Amendment to:

Jeff Meetre/U.S. EPA

Grants Operations Branch (3903R)

Room 51288

Washington, DC 20460

Your signature implies that you have read the entire agreement and attachments, understand your responsibilities and requirements, and accept the project. Similarly, any amendments to the agreement must also be signed and returned. If you need help understanding your assistance agreement, you may call us at 702-798-2485 between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm PST.

2. Designate Electronic Payment
International recipients receive funds via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). This processing method will electronically transmit your payment request from the U.S. Treasury to your local bank in U.S. Currency. To use this mechanism, complete the Electronic Payment Designation Form and submit it with your payment request, using EPA Form 190-F-04-001 Payment Request form (PDF) (instructions below). Please ensure all information on the Electronic Payment Designation form is included: your local bank’s name and address, your bank’s SWIFT code (provided by your bank), exact name on your account, and your account number. Once we have all the information, we will test the transaction on your first payment request by submitting a $5,001 partial payment to ensure all the information is correct. You will be notified once this transaction is complete. Upon verification that the funds were deposited into your account, we will submit the remainder of your request.

Note: Please note that the bank in your country (where you hold your account) may initiate a fee for processing the electronic transfer of funds. This fee is usually subtracted from the total amount of the transfer and will vary from bank to bank. Please review your bank fee policies; EPA does not compensate for bank fees.

3. Request Payment From EPA
To request payment on your agreement, complete the EPA Form 190-F-04-001 Payment Request form using the detailed instructions provided. To avoid mail delays, you may fax your Request Form to our office (702) 798-2423. Please provide an e-mail address, if available, so we can inform you of payment or any problems with your payment request.

4. Report Requirements
Your organization is required to submit SF269, Financial Status Report, within 90 days from your budget period end date. This report must be submitted as a final report to financially close out your EPA Assistance Agreement. No expenses may be incurred on your agreement after the budget period end date specified. If an extension of time is necessary, please notify your EPA Project Officer.
