On the recordMay 12, 1994
the bill before the Senate, S. 2019, the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1994, provides for the establishment of a grant program, to be administered by the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA], that would fund not fewer than five Small Public Water Systems Technology Assistance Centers across the United States. I commend the Committee on Environmental and Public Works for the action it has taken in this regard. I would, however, ask the senior Senator from Montana, the Chairman of the Committee, for some clarification of the criteria listed in the new subsection (h). The criteria listed in the bill reference technical assistance support activities that would be provided by regional centers. My question to the manager of the bill is: Would a national center engaged in the following activities meet the criteria listed for the proposed Small Public Water Systems Technology Centers?
