Sec. 65.1  To what projects do these regulations apply?

    (a) The regulations in this part apply to:
    (1) The program of grants for the training and education of workers 
who are or are likely to be engaged in activities related to hazardous 
waste removal or containment, or emergency response that is authorized 
under section 126(g) of the SARA; and
    (2) The program of grants to support qualified non-profit 
organizations for the purpose of providing training and education to 
hazardous materials employees regarding: the safe unloading, loading, 
handling, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials; and, 
emergency preparedness for responding to accidents or incidents 
involving the transportation of hazardous materials that is authorized 
under section 118 of the HMTA.
    (b) Grants are available for curriculum and training materials 
development, technical support of training, direct student training, 
training program evaluation and related activities. Target populations 
for this training are workers and supervisors who are or are likely to 
be engaged in hazardous substance removal or other activities which 
expose or potentially expose these workers to hazardous substances in 
activities such as:
    (1) Waste handling and processing at waste generators and active and 
inactive hazardous substance treatment, storage, and disposal 
facilities;
    (2) Clean up, removal, containment, or remedial actions at waste 
sites;
    (3) Hazardous substance emergency response;
    (4) Hazardous substance disposal site risk assessment and 
investigation, clean up, or remedial actions; and
    (5) Transportation of hazardous wastes.

    Target populations may also be regulated under standards promulgated 
by the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Transportation, the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies 
under section 126(g) of the SARA or section 106(b) of the HMTA.
    (c) Two types of grants are available: Program grants covering the 
full range of activities, including program development, direct worker 
training and education, and program evaluation; and planning grants 
under the SARA.
    (1) Planning grants are intended to assist organizations which 
demonstrate potential for providing hazardous worker training, but need 
additional developmental efforts prior to initiation of full curriculum 
development and training activities. A limited number of one-year 
planning grants may be funded at a level determined appropriate by the 
Director. After successful completion of a one-year planning grant, a 
recipient may apply for a full program grant on a competitive basis.
    (2) Full program grants will be awarded to organizations with 
demonstrated capability to provide worker health and safety training and 
education and demonstrated ability to identify, describe, and access 
target populations. Full program grantees must be able to immediately 
initiate curriculum development and worker training activities.
