for the administration of the permit program under section 402, it shall 
assure consistency with the WQM plan.
    (b) Relationship to the municipal construction grants program. In 
accordance with sections 205(j), 216 and 303(e)(3)(H) of the Act, each 
State shall develop a system for setting priorities for funding 
construction of municipal wastewater treatment facilities under section 
201 of the Act. The State, or the agency to which the State has 
delegated WQM planning functions, shall review each facility plan in its 
area for consistency with the approved WQM plan. Under section 208(d) of 
the Act, after a waste treatment management agency has been designated 
and a WQM plan approved, section 201 construction grant funds may be 
awarded only to those agencies for construction of treatment works in 
conformity with the approved WQM plan.
