Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document provides
notice of the final Guidance on Awards
of Grants to Indian Tribes under Section
106 of the Clean Water Act: For Fiscal
Year 2007 and Future Years. This
Guidance provides the Environmental
Protection Agency and Tribes with a
consistent framework of procedures and
guidelines for awarding and
administering grants to federally
recognized Tribes under the authority of
Section 106 of the Clean Water Act.
Specifically, this Guidance will assist
Tribal water quality program managers,
staff, and other Tribal environmental
decision-makers in designing and
implementing an effective and
successful water quality program
utilizing Section 106 funds. The Section
106 Tribal Guidance focuses on Tribal
water quality programs at all levels of
sophistication and development. For
new programs, it explains how to
successfully initiate and develop a
water quality program. For Tribes with
well-established programs, it contains
information on expanding a water
quality program. To meet the needs of
Tribes at all levels of development, this
Guidance presents the basic steps a
Tribe would take to collect the
information it will need to make
effective decisions about its program, its
goals, and its future direction. This final
Guidance will take effect for grants
issued by the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Regional Offices in fiscal year
2007. This action affects all Tribal
environmental programs that receive
Section 106 Tribal grants.
DATES: This final Guidance is effective
on October 20, 2006.
