EPA/NIST Partnership with SP

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) role in SP is to help provide topics for special projects, information, approaches and tools. EPA will provide financial resources to the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership(MEP) to provide counsel and guidance to small and mid-sized businesses participating in SP Technical Assistance Workshops.

In addition, EPA has authorized NIST MEP and the MMTC to provide $2,500 workshop funding assistance to any small and mid-size SP members as authorized (Membership Dues Category Groups IV, V and VI). MMTC shall have authority to extend funding assistance on behalf of EPA.
