Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2004 / Notices 68903

water quality limited segments and 

associated pollutants in Arizona to be 

listed pursuant to Clean Water Act 

section 303(d)(2), and requests public 

comment. Section 303(d)(2) requires 

that states submit and EPA approve or 

disapprove lists of waters 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. 

On November 16, 2004, EPA partially 

approved and partially disapproved 

Arizona’s 2004 submittal. Specifically, 

EPA approved Arizona’s listing of 53 

waters, associated pollutants, and 

associated priority rankings. EPA 

disapproved Arizona’s decisions not to 

list 19 water quality limited segments 

and associated pollutants, and 

additional pollutants for 8 water bodies 

already listed by the State. EPA 

identified these additional water bodies 

and pollutants along with priority 

rankings for inclusion on the 2004 

Section 303(d) list. 

EPA is providing the public the 

opportunity to review its decisions to 

add waters and pollutants to Arizona 

2004 Section 303(d) list, as required by 

EPA’s Public Participation regulations. 

EPA will consider public comments in 

reaching its final decisions on the 

additional water bodies and pollutants 

identified for inclusion on Arizona’s 

final lists.

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

EPA on or before December 27, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

decisions should be sent to Peter 

Kozelka, TMDL Liaison, Water Division 

(WTR–2), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency Region IX, 75 

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 

94105, telephone (415) 972–3448, 

facsimile (415) 947–3537, e-mail 

kozelka.peter@epa.gov. Oral comments 

will not be considered. Copies of the 

proposed decisions concerning Arizona 

which explain the rationale for EPA’s 

decisions can be obtained at EPA Region 

9’s Web site at http://www.epa.gov/

region9/water/tmdl/303d.html by 

writing or calling Mr. Kozelka at the 

above address. Underlying 

documentation comprising the record 

for these decisions are available for 

public inspection at the above address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 

requires that each state identify those 

waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not 

stringent enough to attain or maintain 

state water quality standards. For those 

waters, states are required to establish 

TMDLs according to a priority ranking. 

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 identify water quality 

limited waters still requiring TMDLs 

every two years. The lists of waters still 

needing TMDLs must also include 

priority rankings and must identify the 

waters targeted for TMDL development 

during the next two years (40 CFR 

130.7). On March 31, 2000, EPA 

promulgated a revision to this 

regulation that waived the requirement 

for states to submit section 303(d) lists 

in 2000 except in cases where a court 

order, consent decree, or settlement 

agreement required EPA to take action 

on a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170). 

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, 

Arizona submitted to EPA its listing 

decisions under section 303(d)(2) on 

September 2, 2004. On November 16, 

2004, EPA approved Arizona’s listing of 

53 waters and associated priority 

rankings. EPA disapproved Arizona’s 

decisions not to list 19 water quality 

limited segments and associated 

pollutants, and additional pollutants for 

8 water bodies already listed by the 

State. EPA identified these additional 

waters and pollutants along with 

priority rankings for inclusion on the 

2004 Section 303(d) list. EPA solicits 

public comment on its identification of 

19 additional waters and associated 

pollutants, and additional pollutants for 

8 waters already listed by the State, for 

inclusion on Arizona’s 2004 Section 

303(d) list.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE 

PRESIDENT 

Office of Administration; Notice of 

Meeting of the Commission on the 

Intelligence Capabilities of the United 

States Regarding Weapons of Mass 

Destruction

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Commission on the 

Intelligence Capabilities of the United 

States Regarding Weapons of Mass 

Destruction (‘‘Commission’’) will meet 

in closed session on Thursday, 

December 16, 2004, and Friday, 

December 17, 2004, in its offices in 

Arlington, Virginia. 

Executive Order 13328 established the 

Commission for the purpose of assessing 

whether the Intelligence Community is 

sufficiently authorized, organized, 

equipped, trained, and resourced to 

identify and warn in a timely manner of, 

and to support the United States 

Government’s efforts to respond to, the 

development of Weapons of Mass 

Destruction, related means of delivery, 

and other related threats of the 21st 

Century. This meeting will consist of 

briefings and discussions involving 

classified matters of national security, 

including classified briefings from 

representatives of agencies within the 

Intelligence Community; Commission 

discussions based upon the content of 

classified intelligence documents the 

Commission has received from agencies 

within the Intelligence Community; and 

presentations concerning the United 

States’ intelligence capabilities that are 

based upon classified information. 

While the Commission does not 

concede that it is subject to the 

requirements of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 United States 

Code Appendix 2, it has been 

determined that the December 16–17 

meeting would fall within the scope of 

exceptions (c)(1) and (c)(9)(B) of the 

Sunshine Act, 5 United States Code, 

Sections 552b(c)(1) & (c)(9)(B), and thus 

could be closed to the public if FACA 

did apply to the Commission.

DATES: Thursday, December 16, 2004 (9 

a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Friday, December 17, 

2004. (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.).
