State Allotment Percentages for the

In this notice, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
is announcing the revised Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)
allotments that will be provided to the
States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, U.S. Territories, American Indian
Tribes and Alaska Native Villages if the
President’s budget request for Fiscal
Year 2014 is enacted. These allotments
reflect the results from EPA’s most
recent Drinking Water Infrastructure
Needs Survey and Assessment which
was released on June 3, 2013. The
revised State allotment percentages will
be the basis for distributing the DWSRF
program appropriations to the States for
the four years from Fiscal Years 2014
through 2017.
DATES: This notice is effective June 17,
2013.

Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs
Survey and Assessment and the DWSRF
program can be found on EPA’s Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 1996
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
Amendments established a DWSRF
program. Congress directed that
allotments for FY 1998 and each
subsequent year would be distributed
among States based on the results of an
assessment by EPA of the relative
infrastructure investment needs of the
drinking water systems within each
State (SDWA section 1452(a)(1)(D)(ii))
which must be conducted every four
years.
SUMMARY:
EPA’s Drinking Water Infrastructure
Needs Survey and Assessment
EPA’s first assessment, which
reflected 1995 survey data, was released
in 1997; the second assessment, which
reflected 1999 survey data, was released
in 2001; the third assessment, which
reflected the 2003 survey data, was
released in 2005; and the fourth
assessment, which reflected the 2007
survey data, was released in 2009. The
2011 Drinking Water Infrastructure
Needs Survey and Assessment (Needs
Assessment) was released on June 3,
2013 (EPA 816–R–13–006). The 2011
Needs Assessment was completed in

cooperation with State and Navajo
Nation agencies with primacy for
implementing the SDWA programs
within their borders. EPA regional
offices facilitated the surveying of water
systems serving American Indian (AI)
communities and Alaska Native Villages
(ANV). These agencies participated in
both the design of the survey and in the
collection of data. The survey examined
the needs of water systems and used
these data to determine the aggregate
infrastructure investment needs of
drinking water systems within each
individual State and for AI/ANV
systems within each EPA Region or the
Navajo Nation.
The survey included all of the
nation’s 606 largest systems (serving
over 100,000 people) with 598
providing data (a response rate of
98.7%). For the nation’s 8,059 medium
sized systems (each serving 3,301–
100,000 people), the survey relied on a
statistically-representative random
selection of 2,234 with 2,159 systems
responding (a response rate of 96.6%).
For the 791 American Indian water
systems, the survey relied on a
statistical random selection of 220 with
218 systems responding (a response rate
of 99%). For the 165 water systems
serving Alaska Native Villages, the
survey relied on a statistical random
selection of 86 systems with 84
responding (a response rate of 97.7%).
The survey also sampled the 4 medium
and 1 large systems of the U.S.
Territories (with a 100% response rate).
For small, non-tribal water systems
(each serving less than 3,301 people),
the 2011 assessment extrapolated the
findings from the 2007 survey by
adjusting to 2011 dollars.
The sample design for the survey and
assessment produces a statistically-valid
State-by-State estimate of the total need,
which reflects the capital costs for all
drinking water infrastructure projects
allowed for inclusion in the survey. The
2011 Needs Assessment also presents
capital needs for each State by system
size and by category of need (i.e.,
treatment, distribution and
transmission, storage, source and
‘‘other’’).
In general, an infrastructure project
was included in the Needs Assessment
if project documentation demonstrated
that meeting the need would address the
public health objectives of SDWA. The
total State need includes both projects
that are currently needed and future
projects that will be needed over the
next 20 years. Projects to correct
immediate public health threats (e.g.,
replacing a deteriorated filter plant) are
given the same weight in the assessment
as less critical needs (e.g., replacing a
