                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 121--STATE CERTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES REQUIRING A FEDERAL LICENSE OR 
PERMIT--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart C--Certification by the Administrator
 
Sec. 121.24  Certification.

    If, after considering the complete description, the record of a 
hearing, if any, held pursuant to Sec. 121.23, and such other 
information and data as the Regional Administrator deems relevant, the 
Regional Administrator determines that there is reasonable assurance 
that the proposed activity will not result in a violation of applicable 
water quality standards, he shall so certify. If the Regional 
Administrator determines that no water quality standards are applicable 
to the waters which might be affected by the proposed activity, he shall 
so notify the applicant and the licensing or permitting agency in 
writing and shall provide the licensing or permitting agency with 
advice, suggestions, and recommendations with respect to conditions to 
be incorporated in any license or permit to achieve compliance with the 
purpose of this Act. In such case, no certification shall be required.
