No national data is currently collected on this information. Some states collect some of the data described above, but the data are inconsistent, and publication is not uniform. Form EIA– 112 aims to better inform state and federal policymakers on utility disconnections by providing reliable data that can help inform appropriate levels of budgetary support for various assistance programs across the United States. The results of the survey will be published on the EIA website at the aggregated national and state level, as well as at the utility level for respondents. EIA will conduct periodic censuses of all natural gas and electric utilities above a certain size threshold. These censuses will cover respondents that complete Form EIA–176 and Form EIA– 861, excluding the small electric utilities receiving Form EIA–861S. To reduce the respondent burden of this proposed data collection, while also considering data quality, for the years in between censuses, EIA will use cut-off samples from Form EIA–857 and Form EIA–861M, based on utility size and state coverage. This strategy will allow EIA to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities, while also producing population estimates at the state level by modeling data for the utilities on the frames that were subjected to sampling but not selected. (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,130; (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 1,130; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 2,260; (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: EIA estimates no capital and start-up costs associated with this data collection. The information is maintained during the normal course of business. The cost of the burden hours is estimated to be $206,021.60 (2,260 burden hours times $91.16 per hour). Other than the cost of burden hours, EIA estimates no additional costs for generating, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:08 Jun 18, 2024 Jkt 262001 maintaining, and providing this information. Comments are invited on whether or not: (a) The proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of agency functions, including whether the information will have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA can improve the quality, utility, and clarity of the information it will collect; and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, such as automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Additional information regarding the basis for this EPA action is available at https://www.epa.gov/publicnotices. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires that each state identify those water quality-limited segments for which existing technology-based pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards and for which total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. For each water quality-limited segment on the list, the state identifies the pollutant causing the impairment, when known. In addition, the state assigns a priority ranking for development of TMDLs based on the severity of the pollution and the uses to be made of the waters, among other factors (40 CFR 130.7(b)(4)). The 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 assemble and evaluate all existing and readily-available water quality data and to use that data to identify water quality-limited segments still requiring TMDLs every two years. Where a state does not use certain data, it must provide a rationale. The list of waters still needing TMDL development must also include priority rankings and must identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7). The EPA received Arkansas’s submittal of its listing decisions under Section 303(d)(2) on June 2, 2022. On September 28, 2023, the EPA partially approved and partially disapproved Arkansas’s 2020 Section 303(d) list of water quality-limited segments based upon the Agency’s finding that Arkansas did not use certain water quality information and therefore did not identify certain water qualitylimited segments based upon existing data and public input.

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): Availability of List Decisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that states periodically 
submit, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approve or 
disapprove, lists of waters (called ``Section 303(d) lists'') for which 
existing technology- based pollution controls are not stringent enough 
to attain or maintain State water quality standards and for which total 
maximum daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. Waters identified on 
Section 303(d) lists are called ``water quality-limited segments.'' 
This notice describes the EPA's Decision Document, which identified 
certain additional water quality-limited segments for the Arkansas 2020 
Section 303(d) list, and requests public comment on those additions.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 26, 2024.

ADDRESSES: You may send written comments to Mr. Richard Wooster by the 
following methods:
    Electronic mail: [email protected]. Include `FRL-comment' in 
the subject line of the message.
    Mail: Mr. Richard Wooster, Mail Code R6WDPQ, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency Region 6, 1201 Elm St., Dallas, TX 75270.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Richard Wooster, Water Division

Agency at [email protected] or (214) 665-6473. Additional 
information regarding the basis for this EPA action is available at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act 
requires that each state identify those water quality-limited segments 
for which existing technology-based pollution controls are not 
stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards 
and for which total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) must be prepared. For 
each water quality-limited segment on the list, the state identifies 
the pollutant causing the impairment, when known. In addition, the 
state assigns a priority ranking for development of TMDLs based on the 
severity of the pollution and the uses to be made of the waters, among 
other factors (40 CFR 130.7(b)(4)).
    The 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 assemble and evaluate 
all existing and readily-available water quality data and to use that 
data to identify water quality-limited segments still requiring TMDLs

provide a rationale. The list of waters still needing TMDL development 
must also include priority rankings and must identify the waters 
targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7).
    The EPA received Arkansas's submittal of its listing decisions 
under Section 303(d)(2) on June 2, 2022. On September 28, 2023, the EPA 
partially approved and partially disapproved Arkansas's 2020 Section 
303(d) list of water quality-limited segments based upon the Agency's 
finding that Arkansas did not use certain water quality information and 
therefore did not identify certain water quality-limited segments based 
upon existing data and public input. The EPA analyzed the information 
and identified seven additional water quality-limited segments for 
inclusion on Arkansas's 2020 Section 303(d) list.

[[Page 51884]]

    The EPA is providing the public an opportunity to review and 
comment on its identification of these water quality- limited segments 
for Arkansas's 2020 Section 303(d) list as required by 40 CFR 
130.7(d)(2). The EPA will consider public comments and make any 
appropriate revisions before transmitting the list of water quality-
limited segments to the State.
