This is a little unclear, does EPA use the average percentile across all five, i.e., if the average falls above 80% it's "underserved"? I think this relates to @emseabee comment on #4

TBEP has not adopted a 40% target -- this can be a staff recommendation (we may want to consider others) to be approved at the Board meetings in May. EPA has a 40% target across all 28 NEPs. FWIW...

should the mapping methods also identify locations where tribal involvement is most appropriate: egmont key, at minimum, plus maybe significant archeological sites in old tampa bay (philippe park, upper tampa bay/double branch) and terra ceia/cockroach aquatic preserves https://thomasjpluckhahn.org/heat-tampa-bay

I updated this link to the actual IIJA text. If you want to direct folks to the EPA BIL Fact sheets (instead of the USDOT broken link), here it is: https://www.epa.gov/infrastructure

This reads as if, for the purposes of BIL, we are not adopting an alternative definition. Even though we think there is a better way define these communities-- should we consider adopting the alternative definition?
