State and Tribal Environmental Justice Grants Program--FY 2000

    The State and Tribal Environmental Justice (STEJ) Grants Program 
was intended, from its inception, to be a pilot program for states and 
tribes to develop model environmental justice programs for the benefit 
of other states and tribes. As published in the Federal Register, 
November 1, 1999, Volume 64, Number 210, the Agency had initially 
planned to award STEJ grants in FY 2000. However, the STEJ grants 
program will not be funded in fiscal year 2000, but instead will be 
evaluated to determine whether the objectives of the program are being 
met.
    Over the past two years, the Agency awarded ten STEJ grants. These 
grants will be the focus of the evaluation. If you have any questions 
about the STEJ Grants Program and/or the Agency's plan to conduct an 
evaluation of the program, please contact Daniel Gogal, STEJ Grants 
Program Manager, Office of Environmental Justice, at (202) 564-2576, or 
1-800-962-6215.

Director, Office of Environmental Justice.
