Hit Ports

[Dunstan Jomphe]

Aligningwith the right people and partners makes all the difference in the work that we do. We are in the business of connecting global trade, which when it comes down to it, is the business of connecting people and forging partnerships around the world.

...and management is very supportive of employees who are interested in learning new skills. The amount of exposure to the industry and mentorship is limitless at Ports America. You are never not learning something. During my time with the company I have gained financial analysis skills, leadership skills, and have the resources to pursue a higher degree thanks to our continuing education program."

Our ports are where colossal ships dock and millions of tons of cargo are moved with precision. The orchestrated ballet of cargo movements and grandeur of towering cranes are made possible by the exceptional people that enrich our organization and make us stronger. In this rapidly evolving world,

Clean Ports Program applicants are strongly encouraged to engage with local communities to inform their project, and EPA will evaluate applications on the extent and quality of meaningful engagement activities before applying, during the project, and after project completion to ensure that community concerns are considered in proposed projects and beyond.

EPA has announced two separate Notices of Funding Opportunities to disburse the allocated $3 billion - the Zero-Emission Technology Deployment Competition AND the Climate and Air Quality Planning Competition. The two NOFOs will be used to fund approximately $2.8 billion in zero-emission technology deployment at ports, as well as approximately $150 million for climate and air quality planning. Both NOFOs closed at 11:59 PM on May 28, 2024. EPA anticipates notifying selectees by September 2024 and awarding the grants by December 2024.

The Zero-Emission Technology Deployment Competition will fund zero-emission port equipment and infrastructure to reduce mobile source emissions (criteria pollutants, air toxics, and/or greenhouse gases) at U.S. ports, delivering cleaner air for communities across the country.

The Climate and Air Quality Planning Competition is poised to fund climate and air quality planning activities at U.S. ports; including emissions inventories, strategy analysis, community engagement, and resiliency measure identification, all of which will build the capacity of port stakeholders to continue to reduce pollution and transition to zero-emissions operations over time.

After consideration of public comments and in consultation with federal agency partners, EPA is issuing a targeted, time-limited Public Interest General Applicability Waiver of Build America, Buy America Act provisions for certain zero emissions mobile port equipment purchased under the Clean Ports Program. EPA believes that the limited scope and duration of this proposed waiver incentivizes manufacturers to invest in increasing domestic production capacity, while helping to ensure a sufficient supply of mobile port equipment available for Clean Ports Program projects in the near-term.

Applicants to the ZE Technology Deployment Competition should consider these waiver provisions, if applicable, when describing their domestic sourcing implementation plans in the Project Summary section of your workplan (Section 1.a.) and technology availability in the Risk Mitigation section of your workplan (Section 1.d.).

The waiver allows Clean Ports Program grantees to purchase certain types of zero-emissions mobile port equipment that does not meet the 55% domestic content BABA requirement. This equipment must still be manufactured in the United States.

EPA is also finalizing a supplemental de minimis waiver provision, which waives BABA compliance requirements for 15 percent (%) of the material costs associated with the purchase of mobile zero emissions port equipment. This provision does not apply to cranes.

Please note that the Supplemental Application Template was a required application attachment. This collection of information is approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. (OMB Control No. 2060-0754).

While community groups are not eligible to apply directly for funding, the Clean Ports Program has been designed to ensure that near-port community engagement and equity considerations are key elements of the program. Priority points will be awarded to projects that take place in disadvantaged communities experiencing poor air quality. Applicants are strongly encouraged to engage with local communities to inform their project, and EPA will evaluate applications on the extent and quality of meaningful engagement activities before applying, during the project, and after project completion to ensure that community concerns are considered in proposed projects and beyond. For guidance on meaningful engagement with near-port communities, view our Community - Clean Port Collaboration Toolkit.

Application packages must be submitted electronically to EPA through Grants.gov by the deadline to be considered for funding. Specifically, the Grants.gov registration process requires that your organization have a Unique Entity Identifier (previously known as the DUNS number) and a current registration with the System for Award Management (SAM.gov); the process of obtaining both could take a month or more for new registrants.

Potential applicants without a Grants.gov account are encouraged to initiate the Grants.gov registration process well ahead of the deadline for funding since the registration process can take a month or more.

Organizations applying to this funding opportunity must have an active the System for Award Management registration. If you have never done business with the Federal Government, you will need to register your organization in SAM.gov. If you do not have a SAM.gov account, then you will create an account using the government sign in service (login.gov) to complete your System for Award Management registration. The registration is FREE. The process for entity registrations includes obtaining Unique Entity ID (UEI), a 12-character alphanumeric ID assigned an entity by SAM.gov, and requires assertions, representations and certifications, and other information about your organization. Please review the Entity Registration Checklist for details on this process. It is recommended to begin the System for Award Management registration process prior to applying to this grant competition; registration may take more than a month to complete.

Please note that System for Award Management registrations do expire, and inactive accounts must re-register to be able to submit an application. If you have done business with the Federal Government previously, you can check your entity status using your government issued UEI to determine if your registration is active. The System for Award Management requires you renew your registration every 365 days to keep it active. Applicants must ensure that all registration requirements are met in order to apply for this opportunity through Grants.gov and should ensure that all such requirements have been met well in advance of the application submission deadline.

The ports read-only property of the MessageEvent interface is an array of MessagePort objects representing the ports associated with the channel the message is being sent through (where appropriate, e.g. in channel messaging or when sending a message to a shared worker).

FreeBSD is bundled with a rich collection of system tools as part of the base system.In addition, FreeBSD provides two complementary technologies for installing third-party software: the FreeBSD Ports Collection,for installing from source, and packages, for installing from pre-built binaries.Either method may be used to install software from local media or from the network.

A FreeBSD port is a collection of files designed to automate the process of compiling an application from source code.The files that comprise a port contain all the necessary information to automatically download, extract, patch, compile, and install the application.

Both packages and ports understand dependencies.If a package or port is used to install an application and a dependent library is not already installed, the library will automatically be installed first.

A FreeBSD package contains pre-compiled copies of all the commands for an application, as well as any configuration files and documentation.A package can be manipulated with the pkg(8) commands, such as pkg install.

In some cases, multiple packages will exist for the same application to specify certain settings. For example, NGINX is available as a nginx package and a nginx-lite package, depending on whether or not Xorg is installed. Creating multiple packages rapidly becomes impossible if an application has more than one or two different compile-time options.

Dan Langille maintains FreshPorts which provides a comprehensive search utility and also tracks changes to the applications in the Ports Collection. Registered users can create a customized watch list in order to receive an automated email when their watched ports are updated.

Since pkg(8) only works with binary packages, it is not a replacement for such tools.Those tools can be used to install software from both binary packages and the Ports Collection, while pkg(8) installs only binary packages.

pkg(7) will intercept the command, and if you confirm that is your intention, download the pkg(8) tarball, install pkg(8) from it, bootstrap the local package database and then proceed to run the command you originally requested.
