Multipurpose Grants to States and Tribes

Assistance under this program is generally available to states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and other state entities with authority conferred by the governor or designee of the governor to administer federal environmental programs on behalf of the state. States may have more than one agency or department receiving funds directly from EPA to implement programs tied to national environmental statutes; each of these entities is eligible to receive MPG funding. Recipients generally must be agencies of state or territorial governments. Federally-recognized tribes that have received treatment in a similar manner to a state regulatory program status are also eligible.
