# §35.678. Award limitations.

- (a) **Initial grant.** The Regional Administrator will not make an initial award unless the Tribe or each member of the Intertribal Consortium has:
  - (1) Met the requirements of [§ 35.676](/cfr/40/35.676.md) (Eligible recipients);
  - (2) Established an approved public water system supervision program or agrees to establish an approvable program within three years of the initial award and assumed primary enforcement responsibility within this period; and
  - (3) Agreed to use at least one year of the grant funding to demonstrate program capability to implement the requirements found in [40 CFR 142.10](/cfr/40/142.10.md).
- (b) **Subsequent grants.** The Regional Administrator will not make a subsequent grant, after the initial award, unless the Tribe or each member of the Intertribal Consortia can demonstrate reasonable progress towards assuming primary enforcement responsibility within the three-year period after initial award. After the three-year period expires, the Regional Administrator will not award [section 1443(a)](/cfr/40/1443.md?p=a) funds to an Indian Tribe or Intertribal Consortium unless the Tribe or each member of the Intertribal Consortia has assumed primary enforcement responsibility for the public water system supervision program.
