How to Prepare for the Workshop

• Review the Region 10 FY 22 Notice of Funding Availability.
• Review your EPA-Tribal Environmental Plan (ETEP). Are there priorities you have not yet completed that you could include in your FY22 workplan? Do you need to add new priorities?
• Review your FY21 workplan and budget. Do some commitments need to carry over to FY22? How can you build on your FY21 workplan to further develop your GAP program?
• Review Appendix I of the GAP Guidance to identify possible new commitments. 
• If possible, participate in a Council Meeting to discuss the FY22 funding opportunity and your community’s environmental priorities. Jot down ideas. Estimate costs.
• Begin creating a draft work plan and budget for FY22. You will review them during the workshop. They do not need to be complete, but it will help if you have made a start.
• Participants will receive an email with a link to their sessions. Please arrive a few minutes early to check phone and Internet connections.
