SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These guidelines implement a $50 million
grant program contained in the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and
Appropriations Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-134). The Agency will make
grants to states, which in turn can provide assistance to improve
wastewater treatment services in poor, rural communities with
populations of 3,000 or fewer where such services are currently
inadequate. The Hardship Grants Program for Rural Communities will be
coordinated with the Clean Water Act State Revolving Fund (SRF) program
and in accordance with the SRF program regulations at 40 CFR Part 35,
Subpart K and existing Agency grant regulations and procedures,
including 40 CFR Part 31.
Dated: August 28, 1996.
