        <RULE_TITLE>Inclusion of CERCLA Section 128(a) State Response Programs and Tribal Response Programs</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is authorized to combine State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) "categorical" program grant funds into Performance Partnership Grants (PPGs). The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 128(a) State and Tribal Response program grants are funded from STAG categorical appropriations and are eligible for inclusion under 40 CFR part 35 in a PPG. On August 20, 2004, (69 FR 51756) EPA added the CERCLA section 128(a) State and Tribal Grant program to the list of grants eligible for inclusion in PPGs.
 
EPA now plans to include State Response Programs per CERCLA section 128(a) under title 40 part 35 subpart A and Tribal Response Programs per CERCLA section 128(a) under title 40 part 35 subpart B as a PPG eligible grant program. The Agency also plans to add State Response Program and Tribal Response Program specific provisions.]]></ABSTRACT>
