Act) provides $1,218,000,000 to capitalize State Revolving Fund (SRF) 
programs authorized by Title VI of the Clean Water Act (CWA). This 
notice sets forth the State allotments for fiscal year 1994 for their

the appropriation, $6,090,000 is reserved for grants to Indian Tribes

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law No. 103-124, the Departments of 
Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 1994, provides $1,218,000,000 to 
capitalize SRF programs authorized by Title VI of the CWA. Section 
604(a) of the CWA requires that funds appropriated for Title VI for 
fiscal years 1987-1990 be allotted in accordance with the table in 
section 205(c)(3) of the CWA. Congress has given the Agency no 
instruction regarding the allotment of fiscal year 1994 funds. In the 
absence of Congressional action, the Agency will allot the fiscal year 
1994 funds in accordance with the table in section 205(c)(3) except as 
described below.

Indian Tribes Adjustment

    Public Law 102-389 authorized the Administrator to reserve up to 
one-half of one percentum of the funds appropriated in fiscal year 1993 
and thereafter for the State Revolving Funds for making grants to 
Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages for construction of wastewater 
treatment facilities. The full amount is hereby reserved to be 
administered under the Indian Set-Aside Program authorized by section 
518(c) of the CWA. These funds will be allotted to the Indian Tribes 
and Alaska Native Villages based on the 1990 Indian Set-Aside Project 
Priority List published in the Federal Register December 21, 1990. 
Projects were ranked on this Priority List based on water quality and 
public health criteria.

Trust Territory Adjustment

    In Public Law No. 99-658, Congress approved a Compact of Free 
Association for the Trust Territories' members. Two entities, the 
Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands 
have implemented Compacts and are no longer eligible for grants under 
Title VI. At the effective date of this allotment the Republic of Palau 
has yet to implement a Compact of Free Association, and, under Public 
Law No. 99-239, section 105(h)(2), remains eligible for Title VI 
grants. Funds that otherwise would have been allotted to the Federated 
States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands are 
redistributed to the States and Territories by proportionally 
increasing their respective shares of the appropriation as shown in the 
column titled ``Allotment Formula After Trust Territory Adjustments.'' 
The actual allotments resulting from the adjusted allotment shares are 
shown in the column titled ``fiscal year 1994 State Allotment.'' The 
table at the end of this notice lists the amount of funding made 
available to each State. These funds are available for obligation until 
September 30, 1995. Grants from the allotments may be awarded as of the 
date that the funds were issued to the Regional Administrators by the 
Comptroller of EPA.

    Dated: February 18, 1994.
Carol M. Browner,
Administrator.
