Clean Water Act Section 303(d): Availability of Thirty Oklahoma Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Public Comment, 46227-46228 [E6-13181]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 155 / Friday, August 11, 2006 / Notices • Compare predicted routes of dissipation identified in the laboratory with those measured in the field; • Characterize the rates of dissipation of the parent compound and formation and decline of the major and/or toxicologically significant transformation products under field conditions; • Characterize the rates and relative importance of the different transport processes, including leaching, runoff, and volatilization; • Establish the distribution of the parent compound and the major transformation products in the soil profile; • Characterize the persistence of the parent compound and major transformation products in soil, including retention and residue carryover in the soil to the following crop season; and • Characterize the effect(s) of different typical pesticide formulation categories, where applicable. EPA and PMRA have developed harmonized guidance for conducting terrestrial field dissipation studies so that one set of tests can be used for registration of a pesticide in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. In developing this guidance document, EPA and PMRA conducted an extensive outreach and review program, soliciting input from stakeholders and the technical community through several forums: Three symposia, one Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) meeting, and one workshop. Working closely with its stakeholders, PMRA and EPA developed a conceptual model for designing terrestrial studies that will evaluate the overall dissipation of a pesticide in the field. The conceptual model, which is specific for each pesticide, is based on the chemical’s physicochemical properties, laboratory environmental fate studies, formulation type and intended use pattern. On June 15, 2005, the Agency published the draft harmonized guidance and conceptual model in the Federal Register and asked for comments. After reviewing all the comments, PMRA and EPA developed the final guidance, which can be found at the following address: https:// www.epa.gov/oppefed1/ecorisk_ders/ terrestrial_field_dissipation_ guidance.pdf. B. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? This action is being taken under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). List of Subjects Environmental protection, Terrestrial field dissipation, NAFTA harmonized guidance. Dated: August 3, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 10, 2006, EPA Region 6 made a commitment to the EPA Headquarters Office of Water under EPA’s National Water Program Fiscal Year 2006 Guidance for the program activity measure (PAM) number WQ–12, to establish or approve a total of 188 TMDLs in fiscal year (FY) 2006. Under the PAM number WQ–12, EPA expected the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to develop a total of 87 TMDLs in fiscal year (FY) 2006 and submit them for EPA’s approval. By the end of July 2006, ODEQ had submitted two final TMDLs for EPA’s approval and 30 draft TMDLs for EPA’s review and comments. EPA has approved the two final TMDLs submitted by ODEQ. However, a recent discussion between EPA Region 6 and ODEQ senior managers determined that although substantial progress has been made on the other TMDLs, the remainder of the TMDLs needed to meet the commitment could not be completed by the target date. Accordingly, EPA Region 6 has decided to conduct the public participation process for these thirty TMDLs and establish the final TMDLs on or before September 30, 2006, to meet the FY06 PAM commitment.
