<br />1. Strategic Guidance
<br />
<br />The first pr;iority for permits is discharges in water
<br />quality limited segments with adequate data for 3Q3 plans.
<br />Permits to dischargers in other segments will be written as
<br />resources allow.' 'The priorities for permit issuance to munici-
<br />palities should be consistent with priorities for construction
<br />
<br />grants.
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />"
<br />,
<br />
<br />If data collection and analysis will not be completed by'
<br />December 31, 1974, permits should be issued anyway, based
<br />either on technological limits or on water quality J.imits as
<br />determined by available data.

<br />As much of 'the permit procesS as possible should be
<br />delegated to State authorities. The Federal Government will
<br />restrict its role to technical and financial assistance as
<br />. long as this is possible without limiting the number of permits
<br />, issued.
