OMB Watch has filed comments with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asking that they not move forward with a proposed pre-qualification process for grant applicants until they coordinate the effort with other agencies. The EPA proposal would require all nonprofit grant applicants to complete a questionnaire for the purpose of assessing their capacity to administer a federal grant. Groups that demonstrate adequate administrative capacity will be "certified" for the next four years, making it unnecessary to re-submit the questionnaire with subsequent grant applications within that time. However, this process would be unique to the EPA, and grant applicants that submit requests to other agencies may be required to undergo a different but similar process. The proposed process should be part of a larger, government wide effort to streamline the grants process, pursuant to the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act.
