National Association of Towns and Townships NATaT was formed to champion fair-share federal funding decisions & to promote legislative & regulatory policies designed to strengthen local government.
(1)

The National Association of Towns and Townships (NATaT) was formed more than 30 years ago to provide America's smaller communities, towns and townships, and other suburban and rural localities a strong voice in Washington, DC. Eighty-five percent serve communities with less than 10,000 people and nearly half have fewer than 1,000 residents. Nearly one quarter of all Americans live in rural areas, approximately the same percentage as live in central cities.

Mission: NATaT's purpose today, as it was then, is to champion fair-share federal funding decisions and to promote legislative and regulatory policies designed to strengthen grassroots local government. Since 1976, NATaT's staff and members have strived to educate lawmakers and other federal officials about the unique nature of small town government operations as well as the need for policies that meet the special needs of suburban and non-metro communities.

EPA Decentralized MOU Partnership Papers | Septic (Onsite / Decentralized) Systems | US EPA

Nearly one in four households in the United States depends on an individual septic system (also referred to as an onsite system) or small community cluster system to treat wastewater. The EPA Decentralized Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Partnership has developed a series of four papers highlighting how decentralized wastewater treatment can be: a sensible solution; cost‐effective and economical; green and sustainable; and protective of the environment, public health, and water quality.

General information

NATaT seeks flexible and alternative approaches to federal policies to ensure that small communities can meet federal requirements. As part of these efforts, NATaT advocates for fair share funding, technical assistance, and other affirmative steps to address the inherent disadvantages that small governments face in our present intergovernmental system. Typical of these efforts was NATaT’s key role in the passage of regulatory reforms by Congress aimed at reducing the burden of regulations on small local governments. NATaT has also successfully sought Congressional appropriations for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency specifically for small community outreach.
