SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law No. 103-327, the Departments of 
Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995, provides $1,235,200,000 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 FYs 
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 FY 1995 funds. In the absence of Congressional action, the 
Agency will allot the FY 1995 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 for FY 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.

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 beginning of the FY the Republic of Palau's Compact of 
Free Association had not become effective, and, under Public Law No. 
99-239, Section 105(h)(2), Palau 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 1995 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, 1996. 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: December 22, 1994.
Carol M. Browner,
Administrator.
