MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: FY 2007 Regional Allotments (by State and Territory) for Counter-' Terrorism Coordination Grants FROM: Cynthia C. Dougherty, Director Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water (4601M) TO: Water Management Division Directors Regions I - X The purpose of this memorandum is to provide allotment and accounting information to the Regional Program Offices on grants that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will award for counter-terrorism coordination activities by the States and Territories. Congress passed a final continuing resolution (CR) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 appropriation that allows agencies to expend funds under the same requirements, authorities, conditions, and limitations contained in their FY 2006 appropriations acts. The FY 2007 appropriation carried forward the FY 2006 enacted budget. Therefore, for FY 2007, $4,926,000 is available to EPA for award to States and Territories to continue the support of counter-terrorism coordination activities by the States and Territories in protecting the Nation's drinking water systems. Regional Program Offices are to use the allotment and accounting information contained in this memorandum in conjunction with the memorandum titled "Grants Involving Counter-Terrorism Coordination Activities by States and Territories" to make new grant awards to States and Territories for counter-terrorism coordination activities. These funds shall not be utilized in conjunction with previously provided S&T C9 funds. Allocation of Funds This FY 2007 appropriation was made available in STAG funds, which are to remain available until expended. As was the case in previous years, a modification of the basic PWSS formula was chosen to allocate the $4,926,000, with each State to receive a minimum of $50,000 and each Territory at least $16,700. The table below shows the allotment by State and Territory. The Office of Ground Water and Drinking ------- Water (OGWDW) has reprogrammed these STAG funds to each Region for distribution to the States and Territories.
