SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposal for which EPA is holding the 

public meeting and public webinars has 

been published separately in the 

Federal Register (78 FR 54517; 

September 4, 2013). In the proposed 

rulemaking, EPA is proposing changes 

to the federal water quality standards 

(WQS) regulation at 40 CFR Part 131 

which helps implement the Clean Water 

Act in order to improve effectiveness in 

restoring and maintaining the chemical, 

physical, and biological integrity of the 

nation’s waters. The proposed rule 

addresses the following key program 

areas: Administrator’s determinations 

that new or revised WQS are necessary, 

designated uses, triennial reviews, 

antidegradation, variances to WQS, and 

compliance schedule authorizing 

provisions. Once final, the proposed 

rule will lead to improved water quality 

standard development, implementation 

and compliance as well as improving 

the ability of water systems to adapt and 

respond to the impacts of climate 

change.
