Browner and Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman announced actions by the Clinton-Gore Administration to signifi- cantly reduce or eliminate use of the fuel additive methyl tertiary-butyl ether pepco (MTBE) and boost the use of safe alterna- dirty tives like ethanol. The Clinton-Gore Administration is tak- ing these actions in order to protect drink- ing water, preserve clean-air benefits, and promote greater production and use of re- newable fuels like ethanol.

Two types of general permits are: • regional general permits; Corps districts permit about 40,000 activities a Govgrp year under these, and • nationwide permits, issued by Corps headquarters; Corps district offices authorize about 40,000 activities per year. The Corps is required to reissue general permits every five years.
