; and (B) loads the recyclable material onto tractor trailers, railcars, or barges for transport to a distant materials recovery facility or another recycling-related facility. (9) Underserved community The term underserved community means a community, including an unincorporated area, without access to full recycling services because— (A) transportation, distance, or other reasons render utilization of available processing capacity at an existing materials recovery facility cost prohibitive; or (B) the processing capacity of an existing materials recovery facility is insufficient to manage the volume of recyclable materials produced by that community. (b) Establishment Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall establish a pilot grant program, to be known as the Recycling Infrastructure and Accessibility Program , to award grants, on a competitive basis, to eligible entities to improve recycling accessibility in a community or communities within the same geographic area. (c) Goal The goal of the pilot grant program is to fund eligible projects that will significantly improve accessibility to recycling systems through investments in infrastructure in underserved communities through the use of a hub-and-spoke model for recycling infrastructure development. (d) Applications To be eligible to receive a grant under the pilot grant program, an eligible entity shall submit to the Administrator an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Administrator may require. (e) Considerations In selecting eligible entities to receive a grant under the pilot grant program, the Administrator shall consider— (1) whether the community or communities in which the eligible entity is seeking to carry out a proposed project has curbside recycling; (2) whether the proposed project of the eligible entity will improve accessibility to recycling services in a single underserved community or multiple underserved communities
