INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING BROWNFIELDS REVOLVING LOAN
FUND (RLF) PROGRAM INCOME FORM
This collection of information is approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
(OMB Control No. 2050-0192). Responses to this collection of information are mandatory (2 CFR 200.328, 2 CFR
200.333, 2 CFR 200.335, 40 CFR 30-31). An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The public reporting
and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 0.75 hours per response. Send
comments on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates and any
suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden to the Regulatory Support Division Director, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (2821T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20460. Include the
OMB control number in any correspondence. Do not send the completed form to this address.

Overview:
As specified in the cooperative agreement (CA) and/or closeout agreement (COA) terms and
conditions, Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) cooperative agreement recipients (CARs) must report
their site-specific accomplishments to EPA by filling out the electronic version of the Property
Profile Form in the Assessment, Cleanup, and Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES)
database. Additionally, RLF recipients must report program income details on the Brownfields
RLF Form, which is part of all RLF CA homepages. When operating under a COA after the CA
ends, RLF recipients must also use the Brownfields RLF Form to report information on the COA
and post-closeout reporting. At a minimum, the Brownfields RLF Form should be updated
whenever a progress report is submitted to EPA (i.e., quarterly for open CAs and annually for
RLFs with accrued or expected post-closeout program income under a COA).
Note the following:
• COAs may be standalone documents or embedded COAs where the closeout provisions are
embedded within the CA’s terms and conditions. In the latter case, the COA is unsigned but
becomes effective when the CA’s period of performance ends.
• RLF grant status is based on the following definitions:
o Open
 Means the CA is open (i.e., period of performance has not ended).
o Post-Closeout
 Means the CA period of performance has ended and the RLF has accrued or expected
program income that has not been expended or returned to EPA (i.e., a COA is active
or still needs to be executed).
 If the recipient no longer has reporting requirements under their COA, but has
remaining program income or is expecting future program income (e.g., loan
repayments), the COA would still be considered active (i.e., grant is in PostCloseout).
o Closed
 Means the CA period of performance has ended and the RLF has no accrued or
expected program income (e.g., loan repayments).
 The program income balance should be $0, with no expected change, for an RLF
grant to be Closed.
 This is possible for two scenarios: 1) CA is closed with no COA needed, or 2) both
the CA and COA are closed.

CLOSEOUT AGREEMENT (for Closed or Post-Closeout RLF grants)

11. Does this Cooperative Agreement have a Closeout Agreement?
If this CA has a COA which governs the use of post-closeout program income
(i.e., post-closeout program income is tracked under this CA Number), indicate
Yes and answer questions 12 through 16 which follow. Otherwise indicate No.

Enter the date the COA went into effect. If the CAR’s original COA has been
replaced with a new COA, enter the date of the new COA.
13. Is this Closeout Agreement linked to any other RLF cooperative agreements?
In FY22, EPA initiated an effort to replace and standardize all COAs with a single COA
for each CAR based on the FY22 COA Template. A signed FY22 COA terminates the
CAR’s previous COAs and allows all post-closeout activities and program income to be
tracked and reported under a single RLF CA number.
If the CAR has a COA executed in FY22 or later and there are multiple CA numbers
listed in the Attachment of the COA, answer Yes. If there is only a single CA number
listed in the Attachment of the COA or the CAR’s COA was executed before FY22,
answer No.
14. If yes, indicate the RLF Cooperative Agreement number(s):
Enter the associated CA number or numbers.
15. Is this Closeout Agreement still active?
A COA is considered active until the PCPI Balance is zero and no additional PCPI is
expected in the future (e.g., from an executed loan which has not been repaid in full).
Indicate whether the COA is still active by selecting Yes or No.
