E. What is the timeframe for 

implementation of this PAG Manual? 

Emergency management and radiation 

protection organizations that use the 

PAGs in their emergency plans are 

encouraged to incorporate this updated 

guidance as soon as possible. This may 

entail training, as well as updating plans 

and procedures. Outreach and technical 

training will be conducted by the EPA, 

the FRMAC and interagency partners on 

the PAG Subcommittee. 

The Federal Emergency Management 

Agency (FEMA) expects certain 

organizations associated with nuclear 

power plant operations to use the PAG 

Manual in developing their emergency 

management plans. The FEMA plans to 

begin using the new PAG Manual 

during their evaluation of offsite 

response organizations around nuclear 

power facilities twelve months after the 

publication of this Notice in the Federal 

Register.

National Lakes Assessment 2012 Final 

Report 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of the Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA) final report 

on the National Lakes Assessment 2012. 

The NLA describes the results of the 

nationwide probabilistic survey that 

was conducted in the summer of 2012 

by EPA and its state, tribal, and federal 

partners. The NLA report includes 

information on how the survey was 

implemented, what the findings are on 

a national scale, and future actions and 

challenges. The NLA Web site also 

includes findings at the ecoregional 

scale and allows users to explore 

additional results using a new 

interactive dashboard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

The National Lakes Assessment 2012: 

A Collaborative Survey of Lakes in the 

United States is the second report 

assessing the condition of the nation’s 

lakes. The NLA is one of a series of 

National Aquatic Resource Surveys, a 

national-scale monitoring program 

designed to produce statistically-valid 

assessments that answer critical 

questions about the condition of waters 

in the United States. The key goals of 

the NLA report are to describe the 

ecological and recreational condition of 

the nation’s lakes, how those conditions 

are changing, and the key stressors 

affecting those waters. Using a statistical 

survey design, 1,038 sites were selected 

at random to represent the condition of 

the larger population of lakes across the 

lower 48 states including natural lakes 

and manmade reservoirs. 

The NLA finds that 40% of the 

nation’s lakes have excessive levels of 

phosphorus. Compared to other 

measures, nutrient pollution is the most 

widespread stressor in the NLA and can 

contribute to algal blooms and affect 

recreational opportunities in lakes. 

Using a new biological measure, the 

NLA finds that 31% of lakes have 

degraded benthic macroinvertebrate 

communities. The report has undergone 

peer, state/tribal and EPA review.
