Introduction i The Fifteenth Finance Commission (FC-XV) was constituted by the President of India on November 27", 2017 and was, inter-alia, mandated to recommend measures needed to augment the Consolidated Funds of the States to supplement the resources of the Panchayats and Municipalities during 2020-25. Subsequently, the Commission was mandated to submit two reports, one for the year 2020-21 and the final Report for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26. The Commission submitted its final Report covering the financial year 2021-22 to 2025-26 to the President on 9" November, 2020. 2. The Fifteenth Finance Commission (FC-XV) in its Final Report has inter- alia recommended a total amount of Rs. 1,21,055 crore for Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) including Urban Agglomerations/cities for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26 in addition to the grants earmarked for primary health care, Incubation of New Cities and Municipal shared services. aE The Union Government on 1“ February, 2021 vide Explanatory Memorandum as to the Action Taken on the Recommendations made by the Fifteenth Finance Commission in its Report for the period 2021-22 to 2025-26 have inter-alia accepted the recommendations of the FC-XV in respect of the Local Bodies. hough2 4. Details of grants recommended for Urban Local Bodies:- Urban Local Bodies have been bifurcated in two parts namely Category-I and Category-II. Category-I consists of Million Plus Cities/Urban Agglomerations (MPCs), Category-II consists of Non-Million Plus Cities. Out of the total allocation of Rs. 1,21,055 crore for Urban Local Bodies, FC-XV has recommended Rs. 38,196 crore in the form of Million-Plus cities Challenge Fund(MCF) which comprises of Rs. 12,139 crore for Ambient Air Quality and Rs. 26,057 crore is for meeting service level benchmarks. Grants to Million Plus Cities/Urban Ageglomerations is linked to the performance of these cities in improving their air quality and meeting the service level benchmarks for urban drinking water supply, sanitation and solid waste management. While Operational guidelines for Solid Waste Management grant component have been issued separately alongwith the Urban Local Body guidelines, Operational guidelines for Ambient Air Quality Grant is given hereunder; 5. Grants recommended for Improvement in air quality in Million-Plus Cities/UAs:- Air pollution is a complex issue because of the variety of sources - industries, automobiles, generator sets, domestic fuel burning, road side dusts and construction activities, to name a few. Aware of the complexities involved and given the paucity of funds, the 15" Finance Commission have recommended Rs. 12139 crore over the award period of 5 years [starting from 2021-22 to 2025-26] for augmenting measures to improve air quality in 42 Million- Plus cities/Urban Agglomerations spread in 15 States, as per details in Annexure-I. This is in addition to Rs. 4400 crore recommended for the year 2020-21. Grant recommended for Ambient Air quality are Performance linked through Million Plus Challenge Fund(MCF). Details of MCF Administrative Mechanism for operationalising the release of grant is given in the succeeding paragraphs. eagle3 6. State Governments and Million Plus cities/UAs :- Each State Government and urban agglomeration shall sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) for a year- wise action plan, agreed outcomes to be achieved and quantum of funds to be released consequent upon fulfillment of targets as stipulated in the City Action Plan(CAP). Such action plan shall contain the city-wise details of sources of air pollution and the proposed measures to be taken by them for improving air quality. MoEF&CC formulated draft of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) shall be used for signing the tripartite agreement. For the Million-Plus cities/urban agglomerations, the recommended city-wise distribution of grants for the period 2021-26 is on population basis. In the case of urban agglomerations which contain more than one Million-Plus city, the concerned State Government, in consultation with all such entities within the urban agglomeration, shall entrust one urban local body as the nodal entity to receive the grants. This nodal entity will also have the responsibility of achieving the performance indicators for the entire urban agglomeration. Ts Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF&CC):- For monitoring ambient air quality and disbursing grants to Million-Plus cities, the MoEF&CC shall act as a nodal ministry. The MoEF&CC shall handhold and monitor the urban local bodies in (a) Strengthening of the pollution monitoring mechanism and (b) Quantification of air quality improvement with the weights as prescribed below. MOEF&CC shall fix a time schedule for submissions of proposals by the cities/UAs for the performance assessment, submission of assessment Report/recommendations by the — State level Screening Committee/Central Implementation Committee so that the final recommendations can be forwarded to the Department of Expenditure well in time. On the basis of the recommendations of State level Screening Committee/Central Implementation Nonnyk4 Committee, MoEF&CC shall recommend the release of MCF to the Million-Plus cities after consultation with the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoH&UA) and State Governments. MoEF&CC shall also recommend the distribution of undisbursed grant to the eligible cities/UAs as per the procedure prescribed in para 14 below. MoEF&CC may also constitute a Committee at the National level for considering the proposals/recommendation received from the State Level Screening Committees. While the MOEF&CC shall closely involve the State Pollution Control Boards through National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) grants for strengthening the air quality monitoring infrastructure, it shall build the infrastructure capacities of the Million-Plus cities in controlling air pollution. In consultation with the respective State Governments, the Ministry shall develop city-wise and year-wise targets on ambient air quality, based on measurable indicators and outcomes. MoEF&CC shall also circulate draft Memorandum of Understanding alongwith the city-wise and year-wise targets for improvement in the ambient air quality based on Annual Average Concentration of PMjo during 2019-2020 (as per details in Annexure-II), and outcomes to the concerned Cities/UAs. 8. Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoH&UA) :- The MoH&UA may actively assist cities in reducing the sources of air pollution and improving air quality, as some of its programmes like the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) [which has a component relating to development of electric transport] already deal with this issue. The MoHUA shall take initiative in implementing parameters (a) Source-wise cause analysis for air pollution and (b) Progress on action plans and compliance of statutory guidelines and also management of open waste burning and combustion at landfill sites by the concerned urban local bodies. This could include:5 a) Monitoring of open waste burning and chemical traces from waste burning at landfill sites as well as the development of an app to allow reporting by citizens by sending pictures. b) Process-tracing of waste management in each city to identify where the breakdown in waste management occurs. The MoH&UA may also participate in the Screening Committee meetings both at the State level as well at the National level and the Urban Development Department of the State may participate at the State Level for recommending release of grant. 9. Ministry of Finance:- Department of Expenditure(Finance Commission Division) Ministry of Finance will make budget provision in Demand No.40 and release funds directly to the eligible States on the recommendation of the MoEF&CC with an intimation to the MoHUA and the MoEF&CC. The Grant-in- aid will be released through PFMS only. The State Government will register all the recipient Cities/UAs in the PFMS so as to ensure further transfer of grant on this platform only which will ensure better monitoring of release and utilisation of grant. In case, any other electronic module is in operation, then the same be integrated with the PFMS. 10. Assessment of city performance on air quality:- (i) During the first year i. e. 2021-22[in addition to the interim award year of 2020-21] cities/UAs to put in place air quality improvement measures, including capacity building of the local bodies within the Million-Plus city/agglomeration and procedures(as detailed below) to move towards the desired objective of clean air in the medium term. Hence, in the year 2021-22, the relative weightage for assessment of city performance on air quality will be based on four parameters as given below:6 (a)Strengthening of the pollution monitoring mechanism; (b)Source-wise cause analysis for air pollution; (c)Progress on action plans and compliance of statutory guidelines; (d)Quantification of air quality improvement with the weights as prescribed in the Table given in (iii) below; (ii)Normally Performance assessment shall be made for the period April to March of the preceding financial year. However, considering the COVID situation, delay in release of grant for the Financial Year 2020-21 and limited time available with Cities/UAs for execution, Performance assessment of the year 2020-21 shall be made upto 31° August, 2021. Therefore, grant for the year 2021-22 shall be released based on the Performance Assessment of the year 2020-2 1(extended upto 31% August, 2021). After 2021-22, for all the remaining four years of the award period, the (ii) entire weightage will be on the fourth parameter of quantification of improvement in air quality. Quantification of improvement in air quality has two parts, namely, reduction in particulate matter (PMos) from the base year 2019-20 (As per details in Annexure-II) and increase in the good days according to improvement in the air quality index (AQI) from the base year 2019-20(as per details in Annexure-III). Management of open waste burning and combustion at landfill sites should constitute an integral part of the air quality improvement index. Monitoring of AQI should include the following with suitable weights arrived at on the basis of source-wise cause analysis for air pollution in specific urban agglomerations:iw, (A)Monitoring of open waste burning and chemical traces from waste burning at landfill sites as well as the development of an app to allow reporting by citizens by sending pictures. (B)Process-tracing of waste management in each city to identify where the breakdown in waste management occurs.
