Description
EPA updated its BABA Resources webpage to announce an administrative/operational change affecting how stakeholders obtain BABA support: the EPA Office of the Administrator (OFA) BABA inbox will be sunset on December 31, 2026, and general EPA BABA inquiries should be directed to the Office of Water BABA mailbox (BABA-OW@epa.gov). This does not amend BABA requirements, but it impacts compliance support workflows for recipients, contractors, and suppliers seeking clarification or routing waiver/support questions.
