AI Summary

This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to make changes to the water quality certification process. The key provisions include: (1) clarifying that the certification process applies to discharges that may directly result in a violation of certain Clean Water Act provisions, rather than just activities that may result in a violation; (2) requiring states and the EPA to publish requirements for demonstrating compliance with applicable Clean Water Act provisions in order to obtain certification; (3) requiring a decision on certification to be made within 90 days and to be based solely on applicable Clean Water Act provisions; and (4) clarifying that the applicable provisions of the Clean Water Act for certification are the effluent limitations, performance standards, and water quality requirements in sections 301, 302, 303, 306, and 307.
