SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 
requires that each state identify those waters for which existing 
technology-based pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain 
or maintain state water quality standards. For those waters, states are 
required to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) according to a 
priority ranking.
    EPA's Water Quality Planning and Management regulations include 
requirements related to the implementation of Section 303(d) of the CWA 
(40 CFR 130.7). The regulations require states to identify water 
quality limited waters still requiring TMDLs every two years. The list 
of waters still needing TMDLs must also include priority rankings and 
must identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next 
two years (40 CFR 130.7). On March 31, 2000, EPA promulgated a revision 
to this regulation that waived the requirement for states to submit 
Section 303(d) Lists in 2000 except in cases where a court order, 
consent decree, or settlement agreement required EPA to take action on 
a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170).
    Consistent with EPA's regulations, Arkansas submitted to EPA its 
listing decisions under Section 303(d) on May 20, 2004 with subsequent 
revisions submitted on August 17, 2004, November 12, 2004, July 20, 
2005, and October 11, 2005. On October 16, 2006, EPA approved Arkansas' 
listing of 271 water body-pollutant combinations and associated 
priority rankings and deferred action on 129 water body-pollutant 
combinations. EPA disapproved Arkansas' decision not to list 5 water 
body-pollutant combinations and associated priority rankings. EPA 
identified these additional water body-pollutant combinations along 
with priority rankings for inclusion on the 2004 Section 303(d) List.
