             The Honorable Richard J. Durbin
             Chairman
             The Honorable Joe Skeen
             Ranking Minority Member

             House of Representatives

             In the Conference Report for the fiscal year 1994 U.S.
             Department of Agriculture (USDA) appropriations act, we
             were asked to review USDA's Water and Waste Disposal
             Grant Program. The program, administered by USDA's Rural
             Development Administration (RDA), provides funds to rural
             areas for constructing or modifying water and waste
             disposal systems. This correspondence provides information
             on (1) how different areas of the country benefit from the
             program; (2) what the program's matching requirements
             entail, as far as the portion of project funding that the
             applicant must provide; and (3) how the program has been
             implemented for the Colonias and rural Alaskan villages.





             'Colonias are rural, unincorporated subdivisions that are
             generally (1) located along the U.S.-Mexican border in
             Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California and (2) which
             have one or more of the following characteristics:
             substandard housing, inadequate roads and drainage, and
             substandard or no water and sewer facilities.
