Download as PDF 28026 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 93 / Monday, May 15, 2006 / Notices regulations in January of 2001 as part of the Agency’s revision of 40 CFR part 35, the rules governing categorical environmental program grants. The regulation at 40 CFR 35.133(b) states that: ‘‘The Administrator may, in guidance or regulation, describe subsequent additions, deletions, or changes to the list of environmental programs eligible for inclusion in Performance Partnership Grants.’’ The BSTR grant program authorized by CERCLA 128(a) is funded in the same line item that funds categorical grants for ‘‘multimedia or single media pollution prevention, control and abatement and related environmental activities’’ and, therefore, this grant program is eligible for inclusion in PPGs. This notice is made pursuant to 40 CFR 35.133(b), to inform entities eligible to receive PPGs that the BSTR grant program may be included in a PPG subject to any limitations herein defined. In the fiscal year 2003 Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, Public Law 108–7, EPA was appropriated funds ‘‘for carrying out section 128[(a)] of CERCLA, as amended.’’ Congress has included funds for CERCLA 128(a) in subsequent EPA appropriations. Heretofore and hereafter, the BSTR grant program funds, with the exception of funds states and tribes use to capitalize a revolving loan fund under CERCLA 128(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I), are eligible for inclusion in PPGs, and may be included in a PPG at the request of the appropriate official of an eligible entity, subject to EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR part 31 and 40 CFR 35.001 through 35.138 and 35.500 through 35.538. A Region should notify the Office of Brownfields Cleanup and Redevelopment in the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response when it plans to award Brownfield grant program funds as part of a PPG. Dated: May 4, 2006. Stephen L. Johnson, Administrator. [FR Doc.
