Center, (EPA/DC) EPA West, Room
B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460, Attention
Docket ID Nos. OW–2005–0008 for
Atrazine and OW–2005–0009 for
Alachlor. Such deliveries are only
accepted during the Docket’s normal
hours of operation as identified in
Section A.1.
II. Background
A. What Are National Recommended Water
Quality Criteria?
B. What Type of Information Does EPA Want
from the Public?
C. Where Can I Find More Information on
EPA’s Revised Process for Developing New
or Revised Criteria?
A. What Are National Recommended
Water Quality Criteria?
Section 304(a) of the Clean Water Act
requires the EPA to develop, publish,
and from time to time revise criteria for
water that accurately reflect the latest
scientific knowledge. Water quality
criteria developed under section 304(a)
are based solely on data and scientific
judgements; economic impacts or the
technological feasibility of meeting the
criteria in ambient water are not
considered. Section 304(a) criteria are
guidance to States and Tribes for
adopting water quality standards. The
criteria also provide a scientific basis for
EPA to develop federal regulations
under section 303(c).
B. What Type of Information Does EPA
Want From the Public?
EPA recently completed a
comprehensive review of the available
toxicity data for Atrazine and Alachlor.
The list of pertinent references
identified by the Agency for these two
chemicals is available from EPA’s
electronic public docket under Docket
ID Nos. OW–2005–0008 for Atrazine
and OW–2005–0009 for Alachlor. EPA
is soliciting additional pertinent new
toxicity data or information it might use
to develop the Ambient Water Quality
Criteria for these two chemicals. In
particular, EPA is interested in
acquiring from the public any new data,
not identified by the Agency’s literature
review, on the toxicity and human
exposure to these chemicals from
ambient water bodies as well as the
bioaccumulation of each of these two
chemicals in aquatic organisms to
calculate trophic level specific
bioaccumulation factors; in addition to
seeking input on the references known
to the Agency, EPA is also soliciting any
additional pertinent data or information
that may be useful in developing these
criteria, particularly new data on the
toxicity of these two chemicals. You
should adequately document any data

you submit. It should also contain
enough supporting information to show
that acceptable test procedures were
used.
Please refer to the EPA’s
‘‘Methodology for Deriving Ambient
Water Quality Criteria for the Protection
of Human Health—2000’’ (EPA–822–B–
00–004, October 2000 and EPA–822–R–
03–030, December 2003); for guidance
on data suitability. These documents are
available at the EPA website under
using the following link, https://
www.epa.gov/waterscience/criteria/
humanhealth/method/. It is
also available from EPA’s electronic
public docket at https://www.epa.gov/
edocket/.
C. Where Can I Find More Information
on EPA’s Revised Process for Developing
New or Revised Criteria?
The Agency published detailed
information about its revised process for
developing and revising criteria in the
Federal Register on December 10, 1998
(63 FR 68354) and in the EPA
documents entitled ‘‘Methodology for
Deriving Ambient Water Quality Criteria
for the Protection of Human Health’’
(vol 1 on Risk Assessment, EPA–822–B–
00–004, October 2000; and vol 2 on
Bioaccumulation, EPA–822–R–03–030,
December 2003). The revised process
provides greater opportunities for public
input and makes the criteria
development process more efficient. A
copy of the technical information that
will be used to derive the atrazine and
alachlor criteria are available in the
EPA’s Interim Registration Eligibility
Document (IRED) for Atrazine (2003)
that is available at https://www.epa.gov/
oppsrrd1/reregistration/atrazine and the
Registration Eligibility Document (RED)
for Alachlor (1998) that is available at
https://cfpub.epa.gov/oppref/rereg/
