All,
Changes to the Office of Financial Assistance (OFA) drinking water regulations have been adopted. These regulatory changes specifically address the Safe Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) and do not impact any other program or regulation.
Important Changes to Note:
- Addition of an administrative fee for drinking water loans
- Three changes to the Environmental Review process were adopted in response to federal changes to the National Environmental Policy Act:
- Language was added that recognizes the regulations as the Nevada Environmental Review Process for the Environmental Protection Agency.
- The public notice period for categorical exclusion determinations was reduced from 30 days to 15 days.
- The public notice period for environmental impact statement determinations was increased from 30 days to 45 days.
