EPA retires IGMS/NGGS grants records
The EPA proposes to rescind its Integrated Grants Management System (IGMS)/Next Generation Grants System (NGGS), also called EPA-53, because the agency says those grant records are not retrieved by personal identifiers. The system stopped being maintained in July 2024, and you may submit comments on the rescindment through April 22, 2026. There are no changes to money or payments in this notice—it is a change to how grant records are managed and retrieved.
