## Objectives

To implement special Congressionally mandated spending for projects or programs identified in EPA's annual appropriations act, explanatory statements and/or committee reports incorporated by reference into the annual appropriations act, and other statutes mandating that EPA provide financial assistance agreements to Congressionally designated recipients in specified amounts for identified projects or programs. The projects may be associated with: (1) environmental requirements; (2) identifying, developing, and/or demonstrating necessary pollution control technologies and techniques to prevent, reduce, and eliminate pollution; (3) evaluating the economic and social consequences of alternative environmental pollution strategies, technologies, or mechanisms for use by those in economic, social, governmental, and environmental management positions; or (4) other activities described in the applicable statute. Funding priorities are to award these assistance agreements to the designated recipients as quickly as possible in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.
