3 | SEC. 11406. HEALTHY STREETS PROGRAM. | A new competitive grant program will be established to fund local governments and non-profits to conduct a variety of projects in underserved areas with disproportionate environmental hazards. This is an opportunity for projects to focus on green infrastructure, pervious pavement, urban green equity, tree cover, or other method of reducing urban heat island near transportation cooridors.

6 | SEC. 50215. WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING REAUTHORIZATION. | More SRF & WIFIA funding will be provided to states and distributed according to individual states priority list. Coordinate with relevant local department to ensure projects are included on state department or agency priority lists. Remember, Federal eligibility for SRF Funds includes "non-traditional" project eligibilities including energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other similar opportunities though individual states may have additional constraints or requirements on eligibility. With additional funds becoming available there may be opportunities to expand SRF projects beyond basic minimum needs to include innovative sustainability projects. UPDATE: EPA sent out a letter to Governors on 12/02/2021 identifying anticipated state allotments of SRF Funding. 49% of both traditional CWSRF and DWSRF Funds will be eligible for distribution as Grants or Principle-Forgiveness Loans, as will all of the DWSRF Funds for Projects Focusing on "Addressing Emerging Contaminants." In my opinion this bolsters the need to put forth projects for the state priorities list ASAP. | No Additional Information Identified | No Additional Information Identified | No Additional Information Identified | ‘‘SEC. 607.

15 | SEC. 11401. GRANTS FOR CHARGING AND FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE (8) COMMUNITY GRANTS | In addition to the prior Sec. 11401 Program, this grant (or carveout from the prior grant) is anticipated to focus on projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fill gaps in access to publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, propane fueling infrastructure, or natural gas fueling infrastructure without the need for being located on a cooridor. UPDATE: FHWA has released a Request for Information for Public Comment until 1/22/2022 (Do not expect anything until this RFI is completed and subsequent DOE/DOT Guidance is proposed) The RFI states that Community Grants "Projects that receive community grants may be located on any public road or in other publicly accessible locations such as parking facilities at public buildings, public schools, and public parks, or in publicly accessible parking facilities owned or managed by a private entity." This appears to respond to prior criticism of how some states have managed VW Settlement charging stations and provides local governments with the opportunity to recieve funds to build out charging stations in publicly accessible locations.

16 | Division J Appropriations: FEMA Section 205 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Grant | The BRIC Program (previously pre-disaster mitigation funding grant) increased in funding for the FY22 competition as a result of the funding level being based on emergency declarations (of which there were many due to COVID). The Infrastructure act appropriates an additional $1 Billion over the next six years in addition to the disaster declaration-expenditure dependent obligations. This may lead to an even greater amount of funding available for the FY23 competition, however the disaster delcaration-dependent amount may vary due to the potential lower amount of disaster declarations in the foreseable future, as such there is still a bit of uncertainty as the the impact that this appropriation will have on "increasing" the level of funding.
