The Administrator's office has formally endorsed the Office of Water's Strategy for completing and closing out the Construction Grants Program. One of the major action initiatives identified in the strategy is the issuance of the Project Initiatives Work Book to facilitate the effective State/Regional management of the program completion process. The initiatives, which are highlighted in the strategy, describe in detail policies and procedures that States/Regions can use in effectively managing the Construction Grants Program to completion. All of the initiatives can be implemented within existing regulatory authority. Because each State approaches the management of the program from its own perspective, not all of the initiatives as written may be suitable for implementation in each and every State. However, the underlying themes and principles that each initiative espouses is applicable for establishing a fundamentally sound approach to managing the program.
