        Subpart C_Procedures for Identifying Regions and Agencies

 

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.
