(a) EPA may waive all or part of your matching funds requirement if we:
(1) Have not issued the ``Record of Decision'' (``ROD'') at the last ``operable unit'' for the site (in other words, if EPA has not already made decisions on the final cleanup actions at the site); and
(2) Determine, based on evidence in the form of documentation provided by your group, that:
(i) Your group needs a waiver because providing the match would be a financial hardship to your group (for example, your local economy is depressed and coming up with in-kind contributions would be difficult); and
(ii) The waiver is necessary to help your community participate in selecting a remedial action at the site.
(b) If your group receives a waiver of the matching funds after your initial award, your grant agreement must be amended.
