We have found that EPA is using the urbanized area information in the stormwater permitting program.  I think it is mostly used to identify which local governments will need to apply for permits.

Subject: [CTPP] New Urbanized Area Boundaries -- Impacts

We have recently been asked by our State DOT to review and revise our region's Federal Functional Classifications based on the new Census 2000 urban areas.  I have a fairly good understanding of the impact that new and re-aligned urban bounds will have in our State's Federal allotment of funds from US DOT.  Does anyone know what other Federal agencies (other than DOT) use urbanized boundaries (either urban areas or clusters) for administrative and/or funding purposes?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
