bodine, would you like to go first? ms. bodine: thank you. i think the provisions are tremendously important and i think -- and i would ask mr. pepper to get the view of this, but i believe you have provided flexibility to allow the pots of money going to where it needs to go whether it is the state and who can contract and the epa providing help as well. to the part of your question about how does it help, there are situations where small systems do not have operators, much less the sophistication about how to gain access to funding. circuit rider program, technical assistance on the ground has been tremendously important to the protection of public health. sen. carper: thank you. before i overstay my welcome, i will ask mr. pepper to respond to the same question. mr. pepper: thank you, madam chair and chairman carver. the circuit rider program has been a cornerstone of the water association with 50 state affiliates. all of our circuit riders are versed in application process, versed in project management, project development. as senator lum

miss bodine, mr. pepper, the epa's implementation memo to states recommends, as you know, that state revolving funds use the full technical assistance set aside allocation. these 2% carve outs from the annual srf funding provided capacity building assistance that can be used to help small rural or tribal disadvantaged communities to identify needs, develop projects and apply for funding. here's my question. would you please share with us how technical assistance has been a beneficial tool for the communities with which you have worked. and are there additional ways that we can help small, rural, tribal and disadvantaged communities gain access for epa programs? this bodine, would you like to go first? >> thank you, senator. i think that the provisions in the bipartisan infrastructure bill are tremendously important, and i do think and i would ask mr. pepper to get the on the gravity of this. but i do believe you provide enough flexibility and technical assistance to allow that the pots of money go to
