SUMMARY: On April 8, 2002 at 67 FR 16751 EPA published a Federal 
Register notice announcing the creation of this program and requesting 
applications to be submitted by May 30, 2002. This notice announced the 
intention by the Office of Water at the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) to undertake a demonstration program to recognize local 
governments of various types that are undertaking extraordinary actions 
now to protect and enhance watershed health and also commit to 
undertake specific actions in the future, over and above the 
requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The program is intended to 
give local governments of all types the opportunity to be recognized, 
and is not limited to wastewater treatment agencies. The program is not

achievements in specific areas of wastewater management. A fuller 
description of the program and guidelines for submitting applications 
can be found at www.cleanwaterpartners.org.

DATES: The date by which applications for this program are to be 
submitted is being extended from May 30, 2002 until July 15, 2002. None 
of the other elements of the program are affected by this Notice.

ADDRESSES: Applications are to be sent electronically to 
www.cleanwaterpartners.org or faxed to Clean Water Partners for the 
21st Century Program at 202-833-4657.
