EPA Releases Administering Community Project Funding and Congressionally Directed Spending (CPF/CDS)

Congress directed the EPA to evaluate Community Project Funding and Congressional Directed Funding and to provide a report to the Congressional Appropriations Committees.  This report is responsive to the Congressional direction in the Explanatory Statement accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (P.L. 118-42), which instructs the EPA to submit a report “proposing efficient solutions for increasing the Agency’s effectiveness and timeliness in administering [water] Community Project Funding and Congressionally Directed Spending [(CPF/CDS)] projects.” The report describes the program’s accomplishments and provides updates and areas of opportunity for additional streamlining from the EPA.
