    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.

    Director, Office of Wastewater Management.
