All EPA financial assistance recipients are required to report to the Agency on their efforts to comply with the DBE Program requirements. This is how we evaluate and ensure the effectiveness of, and compliance with, the program's requirements. Recipients are required to report either annually or semi-annually depending on the type of grant received.
