# §35.4155. How does EPA decide whether to award a TAG to our group?


Once EPA determines your group meets the eligibility requirements in [§ 35.4020](/cfr/40/35.4020.md) the Agency considers whether and how successfully your group meets these criteria, each of which are of equal weight:

- (a) Representation of groups and individuals affected by the site;
- (b) Your group's plans to use the services of a technical advisor throughout the Superfund response action; and
- (c) Your group's ability and plan to inform others in the community of the information provided by the technical advisor.
