Bill > HR7304

This bill authorizes the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to award grants to eligible entities, such as port authorities and air pollution control districts, to implement plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants at ports and port facilities. The bill requires the development of a "climate action plan" that sets goals for emissions reductions, accounts for emissions, and ensures labor protections. Grants can be used for measures like energy efficiency improvements, reducing vehicle idling, and replacing or retrofitting equipment to achieve zero emissions. The bill prioritizes grants for proposals that strive for zero emissions, take a regional approach, collaborate with affected communities, and reduce localized health risks. The bill authorizes $250 million annually from 2021 to 2025 for these grants, with an additional $50 million in 2021 specifically for developing climate action plans.
