Administrative and Financial Systems & DBE Rule

Supported by: EPA OGD & OSBP

Initiative:

The National Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE) has entered into a multi-year contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a nationwide Tribal training program for the Office of Grants and Debarment (OGD) and the Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP). This cutting-edge program involves a multifaceted approach to provide Tribes, U.S. Territories and Insular Areas with training in the proper management of EPA funds through assistance awards, and OSBP’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Rule (DBE) rule.

Training Dissemination:

National PETE provides instruction and technical assistance nationally through interactive training available through workshops, webinars, and an asynchronous web course. National PETE has designated United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) as a satellite Tribal College Training Center for Grants Management and the DBE Rule Implementation for Tribal Government personnel and potential DBE contractors. UTTC provides face-to-face training sessions within EPA Region 8 as well as webinar training nationally. National PETE serves as a training entity working to disseminate the training in U.S. Territories and Insular Areas, and in EPA Regions 1-7, 9 and 10.
