Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 9, 2024 / Proposed Rules
24775
2 Tissue sample measurements must be based on measurement(s) of the total mercury concentration (in a composited tissue sample from
each fish species or a central tendency estimate of individual tissue samples from each fish species) collected from a given site or waterbody in
a discrete sampling period. These criterion elements support Idaho’s aquatic life uses. Only samples of adult life stage trophic level (TL) 4 fish
can be directly compared to the muscle or whole-body criterion elements.
3 If adult life stage TL2 or TL3 fish are sampled, a Bioaccumulation Trophic Adjustment Factor (BTAF) must be applied to the muscle concentrations of those fish. If whole-body tissue from TL2 or TL3 fish is sampled, the fish whole body—muscle conversion factor of 0.72 must be
applied to generate a translated muscle value before a BTAF is applied to the sample concentration. A TL2 sampled fish concentration must be
multiplied by the TL2 BTAF of 5.6 and the resultant value compared to the muscle tissue criterion element. A TL3 sampled fish concentration
must be multiplied by the TL3 BTAF of 3.5 and the resultant value compared to the muscle tissue criterion element. If multiple adults of different
TLs are sampled, the TL4 fish result would supersede TL3 BTAF-applied or TL2 BTAF-applied value outcomes. If TL3 and TL2 fish are sampled,
the TL3 BTAF-applied values supersede the TL2 BTAF-applied values.
4 Water column values are based on total mercury in unfiltered or ‘‘whole water’’ samples. Total mercury includes all inorganic and organic
species of mercury in the water column. Water samples collected during baseflow conditions would be most representative of the data used to
derive this criterion element. This criterion element supports Idaho’s aquatic life uses.
5 Fish tissue data provide integrative measurements that reflect accumulation of mercury over time and space in aquatic organisms from a
given site or waterbody in a discrete sampling period.
(c) Applicability. (1) The criterion in
paragraph (b) of this section applies to
all of Idaho’s aquatic life use
designations and applies concurrently
with other applicable water quality
criteria.
(2) The criterion established in this
section is subject to Idaho’s general
rules of applicability in the same way
and to the same extent as are other
federally promulgated and state-adopted
numeric criteria when applied to waters
in Idaho designated to protect aquatic
life uses.
(3) For all waters with mixing zone
regulations or implementation
procedures, the criterion applies at the
appropriate locations within or at the
boundary of the mixing zones and
outside of the mixing zones; otherwise
the criterion applies throughout the
water body including at the end of any
discharge pipe, conveyance or other
discharge point within the water body.

Memorandum, M–23–07. This OMB
Memorandum reaffirms the Federal
Government’s overarching objective to
shift towards electronic records.
However, the initial publication failed
to adequately articulate the reasons
behind GSA’s regulatory modification.
Correction
In proposed rule FR Doc. 2024–0279,
beginning on page 12296 in the issue of
February 16, 2024, make the following
correction. On page 12297, in the first
column, revise the first sentence of the
last paragraph and add two additional
sentences to read as follows:
‘‘GSA Transportation Audits Division
maintains a central repository of
electronic transportation billing records
for legal and auditing purposes.
Therefore, to comply with the Office of
