# §35.130. Purpose of Performance Partnership Grants.

- (a) **Purpose of section.** [Sections 35.130 through 35.138](/cfr/40/35.130..35.138.md) 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)).
- (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:
  - (1) Strengthen partnerships between EPA and State and interstate agencies through joint planning and priority-setting and better deployment of resources;
  - (2) Provide State and interstate agencies with flexibility to direct resources where they are most needed to address environmental and public health priorities;
  - (3) Link program activities more effectively with environmental and public health goals and program outcomes;
  - (4) Foster development and implementation of innovative approaches such as pollution prevention, ecosystem management, and community-based environmental protection strategies; and
  - (5) **Provide savings by streamlining administrative requirements.**
