Region 10 Grants: Access to Grants Funds

EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 7, 2005: All grant recipients must be enrolled to receive funds electronically via the EPA-EFT Payment Process. This electronic funds transfer process was initiated by EPA in response to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, P.L. 104-134 that requires all federal payments be made via Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer(DD/EFT). By signing the grant agreement you are agreeing to receive payment electronically.

If you have not already done so, you must complete the ACH Vendor/ Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form (SF3881) (PDF, 2pp, 135kb) to enroll in the Automated Standard Application for Payment (ASAP) system.

In order to receive payments electronically, the enrollment form must be completed and faxed to Marge Pumphrey at (702) 798-2423.

After reviewing and processing the form, the EPA Las Vegas Finance Center (LVFC) will send you a letter assigning you an EFT Control Number, an EPA-EFT Recipient’s Manual, and the necessary forms for requesting funds and reporting purposes.

If you need further assistance regarding enrollment, please contact Marge Pumphrey at (702) 798-2492 or by E-mail to: pumphrey.margaret@epa.gov

EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 24, 2005: Any recipient currently using the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) system with another government agency should contact Marge Pumphrey using the contact information provided above.

If you are already enrolled, and just need copies of the necessary forms:

EPA Payment Request Form (PDF, 1p, 12kb)


EPA Payment Request Form Instructions (PDF, 1p, 22kb)


Please Note:

You may request/draw down advances for your immediate cash needs provided the requirements of 40 CFR 30.22(b) or 40 CFR 31.21(c), as applicable, are met. The amount of time between when you transfer funds to your account and pay them out should be kept to a minimum.

Additionally, you must liquidate all obligations incurred within 90 calendar days of the project period end date. Therefore, you must submit the final request for payment, and refund to EPA any balance of unobligated cash advanced, within 90 calendar days after the end of the project period. This must be completed before submitting your final Financial Status Report.
