The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) which is generally referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted November 15, 2021, appropriated $60 million for EPA to issue grants, including grants to non-state Hypoxia Task Force (HTF) members and key partners (21 eligible tribes, three sub-basin committees, and a Land Grant University Consortium) to support the implementation of the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan. This Assistance Listing considers relevant approaches to achieving the intended goals and objectives of the program consistent with statutory requirements, including priorities in Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, to invest public dollars equitably, create jobs and high labor stands, ensure goods and services are made in America, and build infrastructure that is resilient and helps combat the climate crisis. Awardees are required to provide annual progress reports which will be used to measure successful implementation and support evaluation. EPA’s funding priority is to award funds to non-state HTF partners to provide technical assistance and outreach support to the HTF Members on nutrient reduction strategies and to advance bold, systemic actions that accelerate nutrient load reductions in the MARB and to the Gulf of Mexico. EPA expects entities (HTF Members) to develop workplans that prioritize those actions most effective at to help the HTF reach the Action Plan goals and develop capacity to reducing nutrient loads, using both proven and innovative approaches, that are now possible with BIL funding for the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan.
