	Narrative: Federal funding provides the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) with financial resources to carry out activities that are essential to our mission to protect and improve the environment and enhance our quality of life.  The majority of federal funding received by the MPCA is directly from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  In the FY2012-2013 biennium, the MPCA received $50 million in the form of grants or cooperative agreements.  Federal revenues account for approximately 13% of the MPCA's budget in the FY2012 -2013 biennium and are projected at12% in the FY2014-2015 biennium.   Most federal funds are noncompetitive and received for program activities where the MPCA is delegated by EPA to perform work at the state level.  Individual awards are received under program media areas including Air, Water, Land and Environmental Assistance/Cross-Media (EACM). New funding under the Great Lakes Program began in FY2011.  The MPCA has also received competitive funding for several new projects. The amount of competitive funding is not a significant percentage of the federal total. Additional federal funding resources which are in alignment with goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan will continue to be pursued.  The MPCA's largest federal award is the Performance Partnership Grant (PPG). The PPG is located in the EACM program, but functionally combines under one "umbrella" award continuing environmental programs and some competitive grants that if received individually would appear in all four budget programs. Receiving awards by this method reduces federal administrative and reporting burdens and provides flexibility in managing resources to meet goals and objectives across the entire agency. While in state FY2011 and 2012, some federal funds were rescinded after awards were made, future reduction amounts cannot be accurately predicted at this time. The EPA’s federal FY2013 budget has not been finalized and the differences between recommendations of the President, House and Senate vary widely.  In addition, the effects of sequestration on individual federal programs are not known.  If sequestration does occur, the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) estimates its impact as an 8.2% overall reduction for federal programs. However, it is not known whether that reduction will be applied equally over all programs or if OMB and/or federal agencies will apply the funding cuts on a program-by-program basis.
