Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Construction Materials and Products: The Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Construction Materials and Products grant program will advance the goals of EPA's Environmental Product Declarations Assistance Program as follows: Increase the robustness of greenhouse gas emissions data associated with the production, use, and disposal of construction materials and products; Assist businesses in disclosing and verifying these data via robust EPDs, as well as states, Indian tribes and non-profit organizations that assist these businesses; and Spur market demand for construction materials and products that have lower embodied greenhouse gas emissions.To support these goals, EPA plans to award up to 40 grants and/or cooperative agreements in FY2024, including:• Grants and/or cooperative agreements to businesses that manufacture construction materials and products for developing and verifying Environmental Product Declarations, and to States, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations that will support such businesses. • Cooperative agreements to pass-through entities that will collaborate with EPA to design and build their own processes to receive and evaluate subaward applications from businesses that manufacture construction materials and products for developing and verifying Environmental Product Declarations, and to States, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations that will support such businesses. Per the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.74), a pass-through entity is defined as a non-Federal entity that provides a subaward7 to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal program.
