CCA will accelerate access to clean cooking through standardsbased national policies and country-level climate action, resulting in increased awareness, capacity and action to increase the sustained use of clean fuels and technologies, and emissions reductions in LMICs from household energy use. Through the proposed activities, CCA intends to advance the state of knowledge; increase the exchange of technical and programmatic advances; and achieve results that rapidly increase the use of clean, reliable, affordable, efficient, and safe home cooking and heating practices. Activities: CCA intends to advance the state of knowledge; increase the exchange of technical and programmatic advances; and achieve results that rapidly increase the use of clean, reliable, affordable, efficient, and safe home cooking and heating practices. Standards: Under the project proposed here, CCA will undertake a three-pronged approach to standards and testing: (1) support policymakers and other relevant stakeholders in their efforts to implement standards to achieve policy goals, including how to adopt/adapt ISO standards at the national level; (2) strengthen capacity of regional testing and knowledge centers (RTKCs) using the published ISO clean cooking standards testing protocols and reporting frameworks, as well as the demand for these services; and (3) strengthen the ISO standards themselves.

These two workshops will have the advantage of building on a strong foundation of knowledge and planning executed during the virtual convenings. CCA further proposes to undertake an assessment of which countries have adopted the ISO standards, along with the details of any adaptations to them, and information on their use of reporting tiers. To date, this information has been difficult to access. CCA proposes to work with WHO to include this information in the WHO energy policy repository, rather than maintaining it in a separate database. One important possible aspect of standards implementation is labeling. With separate funding, CCA is currently undertaking research in Kenya to determine the effectiveness of Kenya’s proposed cookstove labeling scheme to influence customer purchasing. CCA will apply the outcomes of this research, which will be completed in mid-2023, to identify where labeling programs could help increase demand for high-quality, cleaner, and more efficient cooking technologies and fuels, and to provide appropriate technical assistance on labeling in 2–3 countries. Countries to be evaluated for this support will include those receiving standards implementation deep-dive support, those identified by CCA’s User Insights Lab (which will also provide insights on social and cultural practices to promote adoption of new technology and tracking socioeconomic impacts), and countries participating in CCA’s Delivery Unit Network.

Specifically, the recipient will develop Level 3 function assessment tools and create an automated dashboard to convert existing and ongoing state and regional monitoring data to actionable information that can help agencies evaluate wetland health, condition, and inform management decisions. This agreement provides partial funding in the amount of $226,767. Activities: To develop the automated dashboard, the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project will execute six discrete tasks. The first will be project administration and development of a conceptual workflow. This task will ensure that the grant will be properly managed throughout the three year project timeline. The next task will compile available estuarine monitoring data, QAQC the information, and synthesize it, so the data can be incorporated into the automated dashboard. The next task will develop function assessment indices. These indices will include target functions and indicators to evaluate wetland health and function with condition statements to standardize evaluation of monitoring data and standardize assessments for functions. Additionally, the conditional assessments will include five resiliency and social function assessments. Some of these functions will be automated into the dashboard. Creating resilience based assessments will help future users of the dashboard make decisions on wetland restoration and adaptation in the face of climate change effects like flooding. After creating assessments, task four will focus on building the technology for the dashboard and toolkit development. The system will automate ecosystem function scoring calculations to generate real time assessment information. Once the toolkit has been developed, there will be a pilot application (task 5) and outreach (task 6) to identify any efficiencies and promote use of the toolkit.

The National Brownfields Training Conference is one of the only national events that collectively serves government, non-profit, and private sector brownfields stakeholders and provides stakeholders the opportunity to share success stories and challenges. The conference also provides a unique opportunity for environmental justice stakeholders to caucus and expand their conversations on community revitalization goals. There are no other national conference opportunities that achieve this same purpose. National Brownfields Training Conferences will be held on a two year schedule, with conferences planned to occur in 2025, 2027, and 2029. This FR comes after a Change Request to add $450,000 of additional funding to the cooperative agreement and to add a minor change in the scope of work. ICMA, in addition to planning and implementing three National Brownfields Training Conferences in coordination with EPA, will also plan and implement six Job Training All-Grantee Meetings. The additional funds and minor scope of work change accounts for these additional six Job Training All-Grantee meetings. Eastern Iowa Community College (EICC) competed and was selected for a Brownfields Job Training Technical Assistance Grant, as authorized under Section 104(k)(7) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), under Assistance Listing 66.814 and Funding Opportunity Number EPA-OLEM-OBLR-19-03. The award was finalized on September 24, 2020. A key aspect of this cooperative agreement was EICC's responsibility for planning, facilitating, and hosting Annual AllGrantee Meetings, which took place each year throughout the duration of the grant. EICC released all grants after a change in leadership, leaving no organizer of the Job Training All-Grantee Meetings. Annual All-Grantee Meetings are multifaceted and are crucial to the success of the Brownfields Job Training Program.

The absence of Brownfields Job Training All-Grantee Meetings would have a profound negative impact on both current recipients and potential new applicants. Without these vital gatherings, the exchange of innovative ideas and solutions on critical issues affecting the quality and sustainability of Brownfields Job Training (BFJT) programs would be severely hindered. Grant recipients and EPA staff would face significant challenges in addressing essential topics and expectations within their cooperative agreement relationships. Moreover, the current Technical Assistance provider, Tetra Tech, would struggle to incorporate new ideas and research into BFJT programs, stifling growth, and innovation. Therefore, we are requesting this change so that ICMA, as the National Brownfields Training Conference non-federal cosponsor, can plan, facilitate, and host these Job Training All-Grantee meetings. While ICMA’s workplan is broadly written to plan, facilitate, and host conferences for public, private, and community stakeholders from around the United States, the addition of Brownfields Job Training All-Grantee Meetings is not integrally related to completing the original scope of work. ICMA may successfully complete the original scope of work without planning, facilitating, and hosting Brownfields Job Training Annual All-Grantee Meetings. Approving this waiver will help promote environmental justice and economic and community development benefits associated with environmental workforce development programs for underserved communities.
