Memorandums' of Understanding are one of the most used methods and 

 are particularly applicable to the joint reviews of applications 

 in the administration of grants and subsidies. In regulatory 

 activities there is a continuous series of joint reviews or 

 permits and licenses. The 1967 Memorandum of Agreement between 

 Interior and Army which calls for Interior review of permits from 

 the standpoint of environment and natural resources results in 

 coordination of Interior and Corps of Engineers activities. The 

 enforcement of water quality standards brings about a form of 

 coordination since Federal programs must be reviewed and considered 

 to determine their effect. Passage of such legislation as S.7 

 or H.R. 4148 would bring an even stronger control and coordination 

 mechanism into play, in that State certification of the fact that 

 an applicant's facility would not cause violation of water quality 

 standards would be required prior to granting a permit or license. 



Under statutes. Executive Orders and Bureau of the Budget Cir- 

 culars, there is a continuous routine of coordination required. For 

 example. Bureau of the Budget Circular A. 95 furnishes guidance 

 to Federal agencies for added cooperation with States and local 

 governments in the evaluation, review, and coordination of Federal 

 assistance programs and projects. 



Federal programs are also coordinated as necessary by the requirements 

 imposed on them, or in other words, in general order of daily business.
