Sections 35.130 through 35.138 govern Performance Partnership Grants to States and interstate agencies authorized in the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996, (Pub. L. 104-134; 110 Stat. 1321, 1321-299 (1996)) and the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1998, (Pub. L. 105-65; 111 Stat. 1344, 1373 (1997)).\n(b) Purpose of program. Performance Partnership Grants enable States and interstate agencies to combine funds from more than one environmental program grant into a single grant with a single budget. Recipients do not need to account for Performance Partnership Grant funds in accordance with the funds' original environmental program sources; they need only account for total Performance Partnership Grant expenditures subject to the requirements of this subpart. The Performance Partnership Grant program is designed to:\n(1) Strengthen partnerships between EPA and State and interstate agencies through joint planning and priority-setting and better deployment of resources;\n(2) Provide State and interstate agencies with flexibility to direct resources where they are most needed to address environmental and public health priorities;\n(3) Link program activities more effectively with environmental and public health goals and program outcomes;\n(4) Foster development and implementation of innovative approaches such as pollution prevention, ecosystem management, and community-based environmental protection strategies; and\n(5) Provide savings by streamlining administrative requirements.","path":["Title 40—Protection of Environment","CHAPTER I—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","SUBCHAPTER B—GRANTS AND OTHER FEDERAL ASSISTANCE","PART 35—STATE AND LOCAL ASSISTANCE","Subpart A—Environmental Program Grants"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-40.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:04Z","sha256":"d6e321051f2ad6ca771dbb98e7e4b4302887b7b91cf1eacafabdf99aa49b9293","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/40-cfr-35.118","next":"us/40-cfr-35.132"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
