The Oklahoma Legislature has authorized the American Rescue Plan Act "ARPA") grant program. This law authorizes the Board to make grants to certain qualified entities for qualified project purposes according to certain requirements. This Subchapter interprets and implements the law authorizing this grant program by the Board for the U.S. Treasury's Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Final Rule for water and wastewater investments. The Board's rules applicable to water and wastewater ARPA grants shall be construed so as to consider only the ARPA grant program administered by the Board and shall not be construed so as to consider ARPA grant programs administered by other governmental persons or other grant programs administered by the Board.
