EPA Circuit Rider Information
What is the Alaska EPA Circuit Rider Program?
 EPA
has funded five Circuit Riders for FY06 to offer grants management
assistance to Tribes in the following regions: Southeast, Southcentral,
Aleutian / Pribilof Islands, Bristol Bay, and the Yukon River. The
Alaska Inter-Tribal Council will provide Circuit Rider services
to all other Tribes.
The Circuit Riders will receive training from
EPA and one-on-one assistance will then be provided by the Circuit
Riders to Tribes in the areas of grants management, grant reporting,
grant writing, and more.
Who is the Circuit Rider for My Tribe?
The organizations listed in the table below offer
Circuit Riders to assist in the IGAP/EPA grant process. Only Tribes
that formally requested the organizaiton to provide them assistance
are covered by the Circuit Rider funds. If you are not certain if
your Tribe “signed on”, you can call the region you best fit, and
ask the contact. They might still be able to offer some assistance.
If not, AI-TC has offered assistance to all Tribes that don’t
have a formal circuit rider.

* Note that not all regions were able to be covered
by a Circuit Rider. Villages in regions not listed in the table
above should contact Alaska Inter-Tribal Council (AITC) for Circuit
Rider services. AI-TC will assist Villages in all regions of Alaska
with targeted training and support that will facilitate Tribal development
of: Administration/Grant Management, Governancy/Policy & Procedure,
Financial Management, and Program Management. If a Village or regional
consortia also has Circuit Rider programs, AI-TC will defer to the
specific Villages to provide the service or will partner with other
providers to best serve the recipient Village. AI-TC will also work
closely with EPA to identify and serve areas with specific needs.
