Sec. 255.20  Preliminary identification of regions.

    Note: The following procedures are provided to assist in 
establishing consultation and joint identification processes to be used 
for identifying regions and agencies pursuant to section 4006. Any 
process which meets the substantive intent of these guidelines may be 
submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator for purposes of determining 
grant eligibility under section 4007, especially if such process has 
been mandated or funded by State legislation.


    Preliminary identification of regions should be made by the Governor 
or his representative after consultation with regional and areawide 
planning agencies, water quality and solid waste management planning 
agencies, cities, and counties and other appropriate units of general 
purpose local government. The Governor should notify the concerned 
agencies of his recommendations concerning boundaries. Where the 
regional identification has already been established by State 
legislation or other method in keeping with these guidelines, this 
notification need only request comments on the existing arrangement.
