Code of Federal Regulations Title 40. Protection of Environment § 40.123.21 Elements of a program submission

(1) A letter from the Governor of the State (or in the case of an Indian Tribe in accordance with § 123.33(b), the Tribal authority exercising powers substantially similar to those of a State Governor) requesting program approval;
