L. 105–65) authorize EPA to combine categorical grant funds appropriated in EPA’s State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) account and award the funds as PPGs. Public Law 104–134 states, in relevant part, that: ‘‘the Administrator is authorized to make grants annually from funds appropriated under this heading, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish, to any State or federally recognized Indian tribe for multimedia or single media pollution prevention, control and abatement and related environmental activities at the request of the Governor or other appropriate State official or the tribe.’’ Public Law 105–65 amended the PPG authority by authorizing ‘‘interstate agencies, tribal consortia, and air pollution control agencies’’ to receive PPGs. Pursuant to the authority granted in Public Law 104–134 and Public Law 105–65, EPA promulgated PPG 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.’’ EPA is authorized under Section 406 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended by the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act (Pub. L. 106–284), to award program development and implementation grants to eligible states, territories, tribes, and local governments to support microbiological monitoring and public notification of the potential for exposure to disease-causing microorganisms in coastal recreation waters, including the Great Lakes. The BEACH Act grant program 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 program listed above may be included in a PPG subject to any limitations herein defined. Hereafter, BEACH Act grants are eligible for inclusion in PPGs and may be included in a PPG at the request of the appropriate official of an eligible VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:53 Oct 23, 2015 Jkt 238001 entity, subject to EPA’s regulations at 2 CFR part 200 and 2 CFR part 1500 and 40 CFR 35.001–35.138 and 35.500– 35.538.
