ZOM48 OCT24 197++ B-166506 Chairman, Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives Chairman, Committee on Government Operations, United States Senate Chairman, Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives Chairman, Committee on Appropriations, United States Senate Chairman, Committee on Public Works and Transportation, House of Representatives Chairman, Committee on Public Works, United States Senate As a part of our continuing review of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) management of the waste treat- ment construction grant program under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-500), we would like to point out our concern over how the program is being administered and the deadlines and constraints imposed by the 1972 amendments. Top EPA management officials have also been concerned over EPA's ability to manage the proqram to insure meeting the program's goals and still maintain the program's fiscal integrity. The officials have asked our assistance in these efforts. BACKGROUND The 1972 amendments authorized EPA to allocate $18 billion to States--$5 billion, $6 billion, and $7 billion for fiscal years 1973, 1974, and 197 , respectively--to finance 75 percent of the cost to construct publicly owned waste treatment plants. The amounts allocated were to be immediately available for obligation and were to continue to be available for a period of 1 year after the close of the year for which allocated. EPA was to reallocate funds remaining unobligated at the end of the 1-year period to those States which had used their full allocation. 7-L,7 9-0 4 FOF 73J RED-76-31
