Summary

The Administrator must give matching grants to States to help businesses use source-reduction techniques. When deciding on grants, the Administrator will look for programs that give hands-on technical help (including funding experts for on-site advice and help making plans), target businesses that lack needed information, and provide training. Federal funds may cover no more than 50 percent of a State’s program each year. The Administrator must measure how well the grants work, and States that get grants must share the information they produce with the Administrator.
