Loan Guarantees for Construction of Treatment Works; Removal of Legally Obsolete Rule

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is today removing from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 40 CFR Part 39. This outdated rule was intended to implement a provision of law allowing the EPA Administrator to guarantee state and municipal loans for wastewater treatment works. The rule is revoked because it is legally obsolete. Deleting this rule from the CFR will clarify the legal status of this rule for personnel of State and local government agencies. This action is in furtherance of government streamlining and will not adversely impact public health or the environment.
