[Beth Graves]

Assistance for Local Governments Who Wish to Develop and Implement
Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced in the 8/21/02 Federal
Register Notice its intention to assist up to 10 local government
organizations that wish  to develop and implement environmental management
systems (EMS). While no direct financial assistance would be provided to
participants, other assistance, in the form of training workshops, on-site
visits, and electronic materials/consultation would be provided. EPA would
provide partial funding for this program through a cooperative agreement
with the Global Environment and Technology Foundation (GETF), a nonprofit
organization that specializes in EMS training and implementation, located in
Annandale, Va, but the majority of the funding would be provided by the
participants through individual agreements with GETF. 
 
Letters of Application from interested organizations should be submitted no
later than September 30, 2002.  To review the Federal Register Notice, go to
