AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Changes in the Guidelines for Applying for Grants 
from the Indian Set-Aside Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces: the use of the Sanitary Deficiency 
System (SDS) of the Indian Health Service (IHS) for determining 
priorities and selecting projects for funding under the Indian Set-
Aside (ISA) Program; and the availability of an Addendum detailing 
changes in the process for applying for grants from the ISA program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Sylvia Bell, Municipal Support 
Division, Office of Wastewater Management [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Protection Agency, Office 
of Wastewater Management, manages an Indian Set-Aside Grant Program 
under Section 518(c) of the Clean Water Act. Public Law 102-389 allows 
the Administrator to reserve up to one-half of one percent of the funds 
appropriated for Fiscal Year 1993 and, thereafter, from the State 
Revolving Fund for making grants to Indian Tribes and Alaska Native 
Villages. The grants are for construction of wastewater treatment 
facilities. The SDS, which is the current IHS system of identifying 
wastewater treatment needs and costs, will be used to determine 
priorities and to select projects to receive funding for Fiscal Year 
1995 and thereafter. The Addendum to the ``Guidelines for Applying for 
Grants from the Indian Set-Aside Program'' details several changes in 
the ISA Program as a result of EPA's adoption of the SDS. The Addendum 
may be obtained by calling Sylvia Bell at [phone].

    Dated: March 6, 1995.

Assistant Administrator Office of Water.
