Infrastructure Task Force: Responses to 2011 Streamlining Opportunities Report

In spring 2018, the Tribal Infrastructure Task Force (ITF) federal partners were asked to respond to a GAO evaluation titled: "Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure: Opportunities Exist to Enhance Federal Agency Needs Assessment and Coordination on Tribal Projects" (GAO-18-309).
