Pesticide Regulatory Education Program

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP), in coordination with the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA)/Office of Compliance (OC), is soliciting applications to implement the Pesticide Regulatory Education Program (PREP) from eligible States, federally recognized Indian tribes, Alaska Native Villages, Inter-tribal consortia and State and tribal institutions for fiscal year (FY) 2020 through (FY) 2024. Under this program OPP/OC will provide financial assistance on an annual basis to carry out a pesticide education training program. This pesticide-related training is intended for senior management, senior scientists, and supervisors and managers of pesticide regulatory programs from state/tribes and U.S. territories working under FIFRA Cooperative Agreements with EPA throughout the U.S.

EPA expects to provide an estimated $535,000 annually, depending on the Agency’s budget, for a total of up to $2,675,000 for five years (FY 2020 through 2024). OPP anticipates providing $285,000 annually, and OECA’s Office of Compliance anticipates providing $250,000 annually.
