Sec. 6914. Grants for discarded tire disposal


(a) Grants

    The Administrator shall make available grants equal to 5 percent of 
the purchase price of tire shredders (including portable shredders 
attached to tire collection trucks) to those eligible applicants best 
meeting criteria promulgated under this section. An eligible applicant 
may be any private purchaser, public body, or public-private joint 
venture. Criteria for receiving grants shall be promulgated under this 
section and shall include the policy to offer any private purchaser the 
first option to receive a grant, the policy to develop widespread 
geographic distribution of tire shredding facilities, the need for such 
facilities within a geographic area, and the projected risk and 
viability of any such venture. In the case of an application under this 
section from a public body, the Administrator shall first make a 
determination that there are no private purchasers interested in making 
an application before approving a grant to a public body.

(b) Authorization of appropriations

    There is authorized to be appropriated $750,000 for each of the 
fiscal years 1978 and 1979 to carry out this section.
