<br />Within two years there will be a State 303 plan governing
<br />the permit and grants process for each of the 267 basins in
<br />the country. 303 plans are divided between management plans,
<br />for the 178 basins where there are relatively few water quality,
<br />limited segments, and more complex full 303 plans, for the
<br />smaller number of basins (89) where load allocations must be
<br />made to meet water quality standards. Both kinds will be pre-
<br />pared by states. ,Since data are nearly complete for 30 basins
<br />where water quality is the major liIQitingfactor, it is expected
<br />that this many full 303 plans' will be ready by the 'end of FY 73. , "
