Sec. 121.30  Review and advice.


    The Regional Administrator may, and upon request shall, provide 
licensing and permitting agencies with determinations, definitions and 
interpretations with respect to the meaning and content of water quality 
standards where they have been federally approved under section 10 of 
the Act, and findings with respect to the application of all applicable 
water quality standards in particular cases and in specific 
circumstances relative to an activity for which a license or permit is 
sought. The Regional Administrator may, and upon request shall, also 
advise licensing and permitting agencies as to the status of compliance 
by dischargers with the conditions and requirements of applicable water 
quality standards. In cases where an activity for which a license or 
permit is sought will affect water quality, but for which there are no 
applicable water quality standards, the Regional Administrator may 
advise licensing or permitting agencies with respect to conditions of 
such license or permit to achieve compliance with the purpose of the 
Act.
