Notice of Public Meeting of the Florida Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, 42288-42289 [2023-13888]

Download as PDF 42288 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 125 / Friday, June 30, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–127) requires NRCS to make available for public review and comment all proposed revisions to conservation practice standards used to carry out HEL and wetland provisions of the law. Revisions to NHCP The extent of the proposed changes varies considerably for each of the conservation practice standards addressed in this notice. To fully understand the proposed changes, individuals are encouraged to compare these changes with each current standard, which can be found at: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/resources/ guides-and-instructions/conservationpractice-standards. NRCS is requesting comments on the following conservation practice standards: • Fish Raceway or Tank (Code 398); • Irrigation Pipeline (Code 430); • Stripcropping (Code 585); and • Woody Residue Treatment (Code 384). The following paragraphs highlight some of the proposed changes to each standard. Fish Raceway or Tank (Code 398): The revised standard expands the practice purposes to include treatment of effluents before release into receiving waters as well as assessment and planning for increased system efficiency to conserve energy use. The revised standard makes clear that it applies to the production of aquatic organisms in general, and not just finfish. We added additional component details for flow-through systems to the ‘‘Criteria’’ section for waste (effluent) management. We removed the species-specific water quality requirements for the two species listed and replaced them with references to land-grant university requirements. We added new content to the ‘‘Considerations’’ section to provide options for recirculating aquaculture system approaches that minimize water use and permit secondary use of wastewater (such as in aquaponics systems). Also, in the ‘‘Considerations’’ section, we added an additional evaluation of the effects of water withdrawal on native aquatic organisms. Finally, we made minor revisions throughout the standard to improve readability, and references were updated based on literature review. Irrigation Pipeline (Code 430): We made minor rewording edits throughout the standard to improve readability. We added maximum permitted surge for a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe to the ‘‘Flexible conduit design’’ subsection. We added a new subsection VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Jun 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 to address protection of pipeline and appurtenances was added to the ‘‘Considerations’’ section. We updated the ‘‘Additional Considerations for Economics’’ subsection to include the collapsible lay flat tubing application, replacement of which is considered operation and maintenance. We updated the ‘‘Additional Considerations for Water Quality and Quantity’’ subsection to include impacts to downstream drinking water and drought mitigation; we also updated references were also updated. Stripcropping (Code 585): We edited the ‘‘Definition,’’ ‘‘Criteria,’’ and ‘‘Considerations’’ sections of the standard for clarity. We added a reference to the use of the ‘‘Implementation Requirement’’ document to the ‘‘Plans and Specifications’’ section. Woody Residue Treatment (Code 384): We reduced the practice life span to 1 year and refined the ‘‘Purpose’’ section. We removed two purposes and combined two other purposes. We modified the burning criteria to follow the ‘‘Prescribed Burning’’ (Code 338). We refined the ‘‘Considerations,’’ ‘‘plans and Specifications,’’ and ‘‘Operation and Maintenance’’ sections, and updated references.
