Most of the 47 states that charged fees to CWSRF loan recipients did not provide some required fee information in either their intended use plan or annual report for 2022. This may have occurred because the Office of Water's guidance was not clear with respect to the definitions of the required information and how regional reviewers should obtain missing information. As a result, the EPA may not have had complete fee information available for its oversight activities. Additionally, the public may not have had access to all the required fee information, including the amount of accumulated fee revenue available for use.
