 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces an opportunity to apply for $396,904 that has been made available through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Diesel Emission Reduction Act of 2010 (Pub.L. No. 111-364). This funding is available through the Pennsylvania State Clean Diesel Grant Program (Program) for eligible diesel emission reduction projects that will improve air quality and protect public health and the environment in this Commonwealth by reducing emissions from diesel-powered vehicles and engines.

 The Department is seeking applications for projects that will replace, repower or retrofit fleet diesel-powered highway and nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment. Funding is available for public and private entities that operate diesel-powered fleets throughout this Commonwealth. These entities may include school districts, municipal authorities, political subdivisions, other State agencies, nonprofit entities, corporations, limited liability companies or partnerships incorporated or registered in this Commonwealth. Projects must use technologies certified or verified by the EPA or the California Air Resources Board to lower diesel emissions, unless otherwise noted in the Program guidelines. The technology may be a single technology or a combination of available technologies. The majority of the fleet's annual operation time must occur within this Commonwealth.

 The Department will not reimburse grant recipients for project costs incurred prior to the grant performance period set forth in the applicable grant agreement.

 The application package including guidance, instructions and application forms is available by contacting Samantha Harmon, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Quality, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P.O.
