The U.S. EPA has issued Draft FY 2025 – 2026 National Program Guidances (NPGs) for comment by June 4, 2024, for eight of EPA’s National Program Offices:
- Air and Radiation;
- Water;
- Land and Emergency Management;
- Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention;
- Enforcement and Compliance Assurance;
- Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations;
- International and Tribal Affairs; and
- Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights.
The NPGs communicate operational planning priorities, strategies, and key activities for advancing EPA’s Strategic Plan and guide grant work planning with states, Tribes, and territories. NPGs are used by EPA regions, states, Tribes, and territories to inform joint work planning, including work under EPA grants.
