Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SEWER OVERFLOW CONTROL GRANTS. 
(a) 
ADMINISTRATIVE
REQUIREMENTS.—Section 
221(e) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 
U.S.C. 1301(e)) is amended to read as follows: 
‘‘(e) ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS.—A project 
that receives assistance under this section shall be carried 
out subject to the same requirements as a project that 
receives assistance from a State water pollution control 
revolving fund under title VI, except to the extent that 
the Governor of the State in which the project is located 
determines that a requirement of title VI is inconsistent 
with the purposes of this section.’’. 
(b) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—The first 
sentence of section 221(f) of such Act (33 U.S.C. 1301(f)) 
is amended by striking ‘‘$750,000,000’’ and all that fol-
lows before the period and inserting ‘‘$250,000,000 for 
each of fiscal years 2006 through 2011’’. 
(c) ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.—Section 221(g) of such 
Act (33 U.S.C. 1301(g)) is amended to read as follows: 
‘‘(g) ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.—
‘‘(1) FISCAL YEAR 2006.—Subject to subsection 
(h), the Administrator shall use the amounts appro-
priated to carry out this section for fiscal year 2006
for making grants to municipalities and municipal 
entities under subsection (a)(2) in accordance with 
the criteria set forth in subsection (b). 
‘‘(2) FISCAL YEAR 2007 AND THEREAFTER.—
Subject to subsection (h), the Administrator shall 
use the amounts appropriated to carry out this sec-
tion for fiscal year 2007 and each fiscal year there-
after for making grants to States under subsection 
(a)(1) in accordance with a formula to be established 
by the Administrator, after providing notice and an 
opportunity for public comment, that allocates to 
each State a proportional share of such amounts 
based on the total needs of the State for municipal 
combined sewer overflow controls and sanitary sewer 
overflow controls identified in the most recent survey 
conducted pursuant to section 516.’’. 
(d) REPORTS.—The first sentence of section 221(i) 
of such Act (33 U.S.C. 1301(i)) is amended by striking 
‘‘2003’’ and inserting ‘‘2008’’.
