§2668 Regional Radon Training Centers

Summary

The Administrator may give grants or cooperative agreements to colleges, universities, or groups of them to create and run regional radon training centers. Grants can include conditions the Administrator sets. The centers must make materials and teach Federal and State officials, professional and private firms, and the public about radon health risks and proven ways to measure and reduce radon. Eligible colleges, universities, or consortia can apply in the form the Administrator requires. The Administrator must fund at least 3 applicants and try to spread funds fairly across U.S. regions. Selection will be based on things like how well the program fits the center’s purpose, the applicant’s radon and training experience, how serious radon is in the area, geographic coverage, and any other uniform criteria given in advance. Recipients won’t get funds the next fiscal year unless the Administrator finds they completed the funded work. Up to $1,000,000 may be appropriated for each of fiscal years 1989, 1990, and 1991.
