Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 230 / Tuesday, December 1, 2015 / Notices 75099 

which EPA has published section 304(a) 

criteria. They can: 

(1) Establish numerical values based 

on recommended section 304(a) criteria; 

(2) Adopt section 304(a) criteria 

modified to reflect site-specific 

conditions; 

(3) Adopt criteria derived using other 

scientifically defensible methods; or 

(4) Establish narrative criteria where 

numeric criteria cannot be established 

or to supplement numerical criteria (40 

CFR 131.11(b)). 

EPA’s regulation at 40 CFR 131.20(a) 

states that if a state does not adopt new 

or revised criteria parameters for which 

EPA has published new or updated 

recommendations, then the state shall 

provide an explanation when it submits 

the results of its triennial review to the 

Regional Administrator consistent with 

CWA section 303(c)(1). The 

recommendations in the draft cadmium 

criteria document may change based on 

scientific views shared in response to 

this notice. Upon finalization, the 

updated cadmium criteria would 

supersede EPA’s previous 304(a) criteria 

for cadmium. Consistent with 40 CFR 

131.21, new or revised water quality 

criteria adopted into law or regulation 

by states and authorized tribes on or 

after May 30, 2 000 are applicable water 

quality standards for CWA purposes 

only after EPA approval. 

VI. Solicitation of Scientific Views 

EPA is soliciting additional scientific 

views, data, and information regarding 

the science and technical approach used 

by the Agency in the derivation of this 

draft criteria for cadmium. The Agency 

is also interested in obtaining 

information regarding new toxicity tests 

on Hyalella azteca (amphipod); latent 

acute effects of cadmium following 

short exposures; and new estuarine 

marine chronic toxicity tests. 

VII. Additional Information 

EPA conducted a contractor-led and 

independent external peer review of the 

draft Aquatic Life Ambient Water 

Quality Criteria for Cadmium document 

in October 2015. EPA will make the 

external peer review comments and 

Agency responses to these comments 

available in the docket with the revised 

draft cadmium criteria document at 

http://www.regulations.gov.

technician certification program for 

persons (‘‘technicians’’) who perform

75100 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 230 / Tuesday, December 1, 2015 / Notices 

reasonably expected to release 

refrigerants from those appliances into 

the atmosphere. This program was 

established in regulations at 40 CFR part 

82, subpart F. Under these regulations, 

at 40 CFR 82.152, the definition of 

‘‘technician’’ specifically includes 

activities as follows: 

• Attaching and detaching hoses and 

gauges to and from the appliance to 

measure pressure within the appliance; 

• adding refrigerant to or removing 

refrigerant from the appliance; and 

• any other activity that is reasonably 

expected to violate the integrity of the 

refrigerant circuit. 

The Agency has four types of 

certification: 

• For servicing small appliances 

(Type I). 

• For servicing or disposing of highor very high-pressure appliances, except 

small appliances and motor vehicle air 

conditioning systems (Type II). 

• For servicing or disposing of lowpressure appliances (Type III). 

• For servicing all types of equipment 

(Universal). 

Technicians are required to pass a test 

given by an EPA-approved certifying 

organization to become certified under 

the program. EPA requires that all test 

questions come from its Test Bank. 

Purpose of Meeting: The 

teleconference will be an opportunity 

for stakeholders and members of the 

public to provide feedback on updating 

Test Bank questions.
