whether to establish specific procedures
for making such determinations. For
example:
A. Should the EPA consider the
state’s access to critical resources
(human, financial, and infrastructure) in
determining national significance? For
example, does the state have access to
technical expertise, necessary supplies/
equipment, and alternate sources of
water? If the EPA considers such access,
what metrics should the EPA use to
measure the capacity of state and local
or tribal governments to address the
bloom event?
B. Should the EPA consider certain
factors when an event impacts or
threatens drinking water sources or
finished drinking water? How should
duration, magnitude, frequency, extent,
and toxicity of HAB impacts on
drinking water supplies be considered
in determining events of national
significance?
C. Should the EPA consider certain
factors when an event has impacts on or
threatens recreational waters? How
should these impacts be weighed in
determining national significance?
D. Should a determination of national
significance be made only if funding has
been appropriated to the agencies? If
two or more states request
determinations, and the determinations
of national significance would
otherwise qualify each state for funding
consistent with the factors considered in
making the determination, but only
limited funds are available, how should
amounts be distributed? Should the
funding be equally proportioned or
distributed according to some sort of a
relative rank or score derived from a
weighting of factors considered in the
determination of national significance?
E. What information should an
impacted state provide to the EPA when
requesting a determination of a
freshwater event of national significance
or a request to make sums available to
the impacted state or local government
to assess and mitigate an event of
national significance?
F. Should the EPA consider whether
a state or local government that requests
a determination that a HAB or hypoxia
is an event of national significance
concurrently requests other Federal
relief for the same event or occurrence?
If so, how should the EPA prioritize
funding, for example, based on
consideration of a particular factor or
multiple factors?
G. Should the EPA require that an
affected state or local government
request a determination of a freshwater
event of national significance within
certain timeframes with respect to the
start or end of the event or occurrence?

Draft National Water Reuse Action Plan
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability; request
for comments.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is requesting public
comment on a draft National Water
Reuse Action Plan. This draft Action
Plan seeks to foster greater
consideration of water reuse across the
water sector, such as agriculture,
industry, potable water and more. Safe
and reliable water supplies for human
consumption, agriculture, business,
industry, recreation, and healthy
ecosystems are critical to our Nation’s
communities and economy. The draft
Action Plan describes how agriculture,
industry, and communities have
demonstrated the value of reusing
water, largely in response to various
forms of water crises such as drought or
source water contamination. Water
reuse can improve the security,
sustainability, and resilience of our
Nation’s water resources, especially
when considered at the watershed or
basin scale, through integrated and
collaborative water resource planning.
To accelerate the consideration of
water reuse approaches and build on
existing science, research, policy,
technology, and both national and
international experiences, the EPA has
facilitated development of this draft
National Water Reuse Action Plan
across the water sector and with federal,
state, and tribal partners. The draft
Action Plan is intended to seek
commitments and drive action across
the various stakeholder groups and the
Nation. The plan consists of 46
proposed actions that support
consideration and implementation of
water reuse applications across ten
strategic objectives.
This action is part of a larger effort by
the Administration to better coordinate
and focus taxpayer resources on some of

II. Why develop a water reuse action
plan?
I. General Information
Clean, safe, and reliable water
supplies for human consumption,
agriculture, business, recreation, and
healthy ecosystems are critical to our
Nation’s communities and economy.
Due to various pressures, it is reported
that 40 states anticipate some freshwater
shortages in the next decade.
Communities, agriculture, and
businesses are looking to diversify their
water supply portfolios to meet current
and future needs. Water reuse (also
known as recycled or reclaimed water)
represents a major opportunity to
supplement existing water supplies
from potential sources for reuse from
industrial process water, agricultural
return flows, municipal wastewater, oil
and gas produced water, and
stormwater, when these potential
sources are appropriately and effectively
treated to meet ‘‘fit for purpose
specifications’’ including appropriate
public health and environmental needs.
The goal of the draft Action Plan is to
better coordinate and focus taxpayer
resources on some of the Nation’s most
challenging water resource concerns,
including ensuring water availability
and mitigating the risks posed by
droughts. The draft Action Plan
contains key actions identified by
stakeholders across the water reuse
sector that can help improve water
security, sustainability, and resilience.

describes the process for going forward
to identify the highest priority actions
and seeks leaders and collaborators to
describe and commit to specific actions.
IV. Solicitation of Public Comments
The draft plan and the associated
appendices can be found at:
www.epa.gov/waterreuse/water-reuseaction-plan. The EPA is soliciting
public comments to inform revisions to
proposed actions, as well as to identify

General Description of Collection
Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act
established a new Truth in Lending
(TILA) section 129H, which contains
appraisal requirements applicable to
higher-risk mortgages and prohibits a
creditor from extending credit in the
form of a higher-risk mortgage loan to
any consumer without meeting those
requirements. A higher-risk mortgage is
defined as a residential mortgage loan
secured by a principal dwelling with an
annual percentage rate (APR) that
exceeds the average prime offer rate
(APOR) for a comparable transaction as
of the date the interest rate is set by
certain enumerated percentage point
spreads. The rule requires that, within
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:14 Sep 13, 2019
Jkt 247001
three days of application, a creditor
provide a disclosure that informs
consumers regarding the purpose of the
appraisal, that the creditor will provide
the consumer a copy of any appraisal,
and that the consumer may choose to
have a separate appraisal conducted at
the expense of the consumer. If a loan
meets the definition of a higher-risk
mortgage loan, then the creditor would
be required to obtain a written appraisal
prepared by a certified or licensed
appraiser who conducts a physical visit
of the interior of the property that will
secure the transaction, and send a copy
of the written appraisal to the consumer.
To qualify for the safe harbor provided
under the rule, a creditor is required to
review the written appraisal as specified

If a loan is classified as a higher-risk
mortgage loan that will finance the
acquisition of the property to be
mortgaged, and the property was
acquired within the previous 180 days
by the seller at a price that was lower
than the current sale price, then the
creditor is required to obtain an
additional appraisal. A creditor is
required to provide the consumer a copy
of the appraisal reports performed in
connection with the loan, without
charge, at least days prior to
consummation of the loan.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The overall
reduction in burden hours is the result
