parts 123 and 503 and are not subject to

any additional significant or unique

requirements by virtue of this program

approval. Once EPA authorizes a State

to administer its own sludge

management program and any revisions

to that program, these same small

governments will be able to own and

operate their sludge management

facilities or businesses under the

approved State program, in lieu of the

Federal program. Therefore, EPA has

determined that this document contains

no regulatory requirements that might

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments.
