Sec. 105.1  Background.

    The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Water Act (CWA) 
Recognition Awards Program is authorized by CWA section 501(e). The 
Administrator may provide official recognition to industrial 
organizations and political subdivisions of States which during the 
preceding year demonstrated an outstanding technological achievement or 
an innovative process, method or device in their waste treatment and 
pollution abatement programs. The wastewater management programs can 
generally be characterized as waste treatment and/or pollution abatement 
programs. Individual EPA Regional Administrators (and Regional officials 
they may designate) also may conduct Regional CWA Recognition Awards 
Programs according to and consistent with the provisions of this part.
