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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:54 Oct 13, 2005 Jkt 208001 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/ status.cfm?show=rereg.
