68784 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 9, 2010 / Notices 

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 9, 2010, EPA approved 

California’s 2008–2010 submitted 303(d) 

list of impaired waters and associated 

pollutants and disapproved California’s 

decisions not to list several water 

quality limited segments as impaired 

and additional associated pollutants for 

several others. EPA identified these 

additional water bodies and pollutants 

for inclusion on the State’s 2008–2010 

section 303(d) list. The waterbodies and 

associated pollutants are identified in 

Table 1 of the decision document 

available at the Web site link provided 

below. 

EPA is providing the public the 

opportunity to review its decisions to 

add waters and pollutants to California’s 

2008–2010 section 303(d) list, as 

required by EPA’s Public Participation 

regulations. EPA will consider public 

comments received, and may revise its 

decision if appropriate. EPA solicits 

public comment only on the additional 

waters and associated pollutants for 

inclusion on California’s 2008–2010 

Section 303(d) list. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

EPA on or before December 9, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Comments on the proposed decisions 

should be sent to Valentina Cabrera 

Stagno, Water Division (WTR–2), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 

Francisco, CA 94105, telephone (415) 

972–3434, facsimile (415) 947–3537, email cabrera-stagno.valentina@epa.gov. 

Oral comments will not be considered. 

Material concerning California’s 303(d) 

list which explain the rationale for 

EPA’s decisions are available on EPA 

Region IX’s Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/region9/water/tmdl/ 

california.html or by writing or calling 

Valentina Cabrera Stagno. Underlying 

documentation comprising the record 

for these decisions is 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). Consistent with EPA’s 

regulations, EPA received California’s 

submittal of its listing decisions under 

Section 303(d)(2) on October 15, 2010. 

Dated: November 1, 2010.

II. Background 

Title IV of the Superfund 

Amendments and Reauthorization Act 

of 1986 (SARA) gave EPA broad 

authorization to coordinate research in 

indoor air quality, develop and 

disseminate information of the subject, 

and coordinate efforts at the Federal, 

State, and local levels. The main 

objectives of the EPA Indoor 

Environments program include the 

protection of public health by 

promoting healthy environments; 

development and implementation of 

control strategies which would prevent, 

diagnose, abate, and mitigate indoor 

pollution, including the development 

and dissemination of guidance on those 

aspects of building design and 

construction, operation and 

maintenance that affect the indoor 

environment; and the development and 

dissemination of information to educate 

key audiences about indoor air 

pollution and its associated health risks, 

mitigation, and control strategies. Using 

the best science available, EPA develops 

and disseminates information, guidance 

and solution-oriented technologies and 

serves as a catalyst for action by guiding 

research, using innovative and creative 

risk communication tools and by 

building public-private partnerships. 

As part of these responsibilities, EPA 

is developing voluntary Healthy Indoor 

Environment Protocols for Home Energy 

Upgrades. These protocols are intended 

for voluntary adoption by 

weatherization assistance programs, 

Federally funded housing programs, 

private sector home performance 

contracting organizations, and others 

working on residential energy efficiency 

retrofits, remodeling or other home 

improvement efforts. A draft is now 

available for review and comment. All 

of this information—including the draft 

document and additional commentsubmitting instructions—can be found 

on the Agency’s Indoor Air Quality Web 

site at: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/homes/ 

retrofits.html. 

Concurrently, in May 2009, the Vice 

President’s Middle Class Task Force 

asked the White House Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop 

recommendations for Federal action to 

lay the architecture for a self-sustaining 

home energy efficiency retrofit industry. 

In response, CEQ facilitated a broad 

interagency process that resulted in the 

development of six recommendations 

described in detail in a report titled 

Recovery Through Retrofit.1 These 

recommendations were carefully crafted 

to stimulate the growth of a vibrant, 

private sector-led market for residential 

energy efficiency retrofits. They include 

establishment of a uniform set of 

national guidelines to promote highquality, safe and healthy energy 

efficiency retrofit work. DOE developed 

Workforce Guidelines for Home Energy 

Upgrades in response to this 

recommendation, in concert with EPA’s 

development of Healthy Indoor 

Environment Protocols for Home Energy 

Upgrades. 

Together, the DOE and EPA 

documents will: Provide a robust and 

practical set of resources for retrofit 

contractors, trainers, and program 

administrators; help improve the quality 

of the work performed in this expanding 

industry; promote occupant health and 

safety; and drive consumer demand for 

energy efficiency retrofit services. EPA 

encourages reviewers with broader 

interest in home energy retrofits to also 

review the DOE Workforce Guidelines, 

available for public comment until 

January 7, 2011 [http:// 

www.weatherization.energy.gov/ 

retrofit_guidelines]. 

A. Why is EPA developing voluntary 

Healthy Indoor Environment Protocols 

for Home Energy Upgrades? 

Millions of American homes will be 

retrofitted in the coming years to 

improve energy efficiency or make them 

more ‘‘green.’’ Integrated healthy home 

and energy efficiency retrofit activities 

can lower utility costs for Americans 

and improve indoor air quality in homes 

at the same time. However, there is the 

potential for weatherization and other 

energy efficiency retrofit activities to 

negatively impact indoor air quality and 

public health—if the appropriate home 

assessment is not made before work 

begins and issues that may impact 

indoor air quality are not appropriately 

addressed. These Protocols provide 

guidance for conducting such home 

assessments and also provide the 

specific responses necessary to maintain 

or improve indoor air quality in 

conjunction with energy efficiency 

retrofits or other remodeling activities. 

The Protocols are intended to enhance 

the ability of other Federal agencies, 

industry standard organizations, State 

and local programs, and the home 

energy retrofit industry (i.e., home 

weatherization, energy efficiency 

retrofit, and housing rehabilitation 

professionals) to better integrate health 

protections into energy focused 

programs. The Protocols apply to single 

family and multi-family low-rise 

residential dwellings. These Protocols 

provide recommended minimum 

specifications and additional best 

practices for protection of occupant 

health and, together with better 

resources for contractors, will facilitate 

increased home energy efficiency, 

improve the quality of the work 

performed, and reduce failures and callbacks for contractors.

68786 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 216 / Tuesday, November 9, 2010 / Notices 

B. Why are better health protections 

needed for home energy retrofits? 

Low-income weatherization and 

private sector home performance 

contracting programs reduce energy 

bills, improve comfort, and often 

improve health and safety in the homes 

of many American families. These 

activities should never adversely affect 

a home’s indoor environment, occupant 

health, or worker health and safety. The 

most urgent public health issues related 

to home energy retrofits, such as 

combustion safety, already have 

rigorous standards in place that are 

enforced through program requirements 

and processes. However, there are other 

public health issues that can be affected 

by home energy retrofits and remodeling 

work such as occupant exposure to 

moisture/mold, radon, and lead. These 

draft Healthy Indoor Environment 

Protocols provide guidance on how best 

to address these issues and the steps 

necessary to maintain or improve indoor 

air quality while making energy 

efficiency home improvements. 

Adoption of the EPA Protocols and 

other protective guidelines such as the 

DOE Workforce Guidelines will help 

minimize the potential unintended 

health impacts of retrofit and 

remodeling activities. 

Fortunately, the expansion of the 

DOE’s weatherization assistance 

program (WAP) through the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

of 2009, and other home energy retrofit 

initiatives provide unique opportunities 

to simultaneously improve the energy 

efficiency and the healthfulness of 

American homes. Integrated healthy 

home and retrofit activities can lower 

utility costs for Americans, while 

improving the indoor air quality in 

millions of homes. EPA is working with 

DOE and other programs to identify 

opportunities to reduce or eliminate 

barriers to incorporating more health 

protective best practices into energy 

efficiency retrofit programs. These 

protocols, when finalized will serve as 

a core set of practices that can be 

integrated into evolving program 

standards, training curricula and other 

elements of energy efficiency retrofit 

programs. 

C. What information is included in the 

DRAFT protocols? 

This DRAFT document includes 

recommended protocols for assessment 

of indoor environmental quality issues, 

recommended minimum actions, and 

recommended expanded actions to 

promote improved occupant health 

through home energy retrofits. Each of 

these is described below. 

This document DOES NOT: 

• Set new EPA regulatory standards; 

• Provide guidance for diagnosing 

occupant health problems or buildingrelated illness; 

• Replace the need for training or 

training documents; or 

• Provide detailed guidance on how 

to achieve the intent of each 

recommendation in all situations. 

The document is organized to 

highlight priority health concerns that 

may relate to home energy efficiency 

retrofits. Priority issues are identified 

based on whether they are known to 

pose significant health risks to 

occupants and whether they can be 

affected by energy efficiency retrofit 

activities. For each ‘‘Priority Issue’’ 

identified in Column 1, the matrix 

identifies the following: 

1. ‘‘Assessment Protocols’’ in Column 

2 provide EPA-recommended 

assessment protocols for evaluating both 

existing conditions of concern and the 

potential for additional health concerns 

that may arise as a result of retrofit 

activities. EPA anticipates 

recommending adoption of the 

assessment protocols into 

weatherization and home energy retrofit 

assessment and audit standards and 

materials. 

2. ‘‘Minimum Actions’’ in Column 3 

include actions that weatherization and 

home energy retrofit contractors should 

take to ensure that the work they 

perform in a home does not introduce 

new health concerns or make existing 

conditions worse. These often reference 

existing standards. EPA anticipates 

recommending adoption of the 

minimum actions into weatherization 

and home energy retrofit standards and 

materials, and removal or modification 

of program rules that prohibit these 

recommended actions. 

3. ‘‘Expanded Actions’’ in Column 4 

include recommended indoor 

environment improvements that can be 

made during many home energy retrofit 

projects. The expanded actions are 

usually low-cost, simple improvements 

that can be performed by home energy 

retrofit workers with proper training 

and sufficient resources. EPA 

anticipates recommending 

incorporation of the expanded actions 

into weatherization assistance program 

and other home energy retrofit program 

guidance and training materials, and 

collaboration to help overcome barriers 

to these recommended healthy homes 

actions. 

Additional resources (standards, 

guidelines, etc.) have been included for 

further information on each issue, 

including recommended assessment and 

performance standards, and 

supplemental guidance information. 

In addition, EPA anticipates the need 

for supplemental assessment tools such 

as worksheets and checklists, to help 

assessors and contractors manage 

critical job information. Therefore, EPA 

plans to develop sample assessment 

tools to accompany these protocols, 

such as the following sample tool 

concepts: 

• Sample Mold and Moisture 

Assessment Form. 

• Sample Radon Testing and 

Assessment Form. 

• Sample Home Ventilation 

Worksheet. 

D. How is EPA recommending the 

protocols be used? 

These protocols were developed to 

assist weatherization assistance 

programs and other home energy retrofit 

and remodeling programs to fill in gaps 

in their program standards related to 

indoor environment health protections, 

and provide additional guidance for 

those able to go beyond recommended 

minimum health protections. EPA 

recommends that these protocols (and 

supplemental tools) be voluntarily 

adopted in whole or in part, for the 

following purposes: 

• To help develop or enhance 

standardized training program 

requirements. 

• To help refine and update program 

performance standards, materials, and 

resources to better protect occupant 

health. 

• To inform revisions to program 

funding rules (i.e., change allowable 

expenses for health and safety as 

appropriate). 

Specifically, EPA anticipates 

recommending the following for 

weatherization assistance and home 

energy retrofit programs: 

1. Adoption of the assessment 

protocols into weatherization assistance 

and other home energy retrofit program 

assessment or audit standards, 

2. Adoption of the minimum actions 

into weatherization assistance and other 

home energy retrofit program standards, 

and removal or modification of program 

rules that prohibit these recommended 

minimum actions, 

3. Incorporation of the expanded 

actions into weatherization assistance 

and other home energy retrofit program 

guidance and training materials, and 

collaboration to help overcome barriers 

to these recommended healthy homes 

actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2, notice is hereby given 

that the Advisory Council on Clean Air 

Compliance Analysis (Council) will 

hold a public meeting to discuss and 

approve its draft report (dated October 

4, 2010) entitled, Review of the Second 

Section 812 Prospective Study of the 

Benefits and Costs of the Clean Air Act. 

The Council was established in 1991 

pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

Amendments of 1990 (see 42 U.S.C. 

7612) to provide advice, information 

and recommendations on technical and 

economic aspects of analyses and 

reports EPA prepares on the impacts of 

the CAA on the public health, economy, 

and environment of the United States. 

The Council is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under FACA, and 

complies with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Pursuant to Section 812 of the 1990 

Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), 

EPA conducts periodic studies to assess 

benefits and costs of the EPA’s 

regulatory actions under the Clean Air 

Act. The Council has provided advice 

on an EPA retrospective study 

published in 1997 and an EPA 

prospective study completed in 1999. 

EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) 

requested the Council’s review of a 

second prospective study to evaluate the 

benefits and costs of EPA Clean Air 

programs for years 1990–2020, 

including a draft synthesis report and a 

draft summary document. 

Previous Reviews: The Council and its 

subcommittees have previously 

reviewed EPA documents prepared in 

support of the Office of Air and 

Radiation’s Second Section 812 

Prospective Study, and the advisory 

reports from these activities are 

available on the Council Web site at 

(http://www.epa.gov/ 

advisorycouncilcaa). As announced 

previously (Federal Register, Vol 75, 

Number 153, Page 48327), the Council 

met on September 2–3, 2010 to review 

a final draft of the Agency document, 

Second Section 812 Prospective Study 

of the Benefits and Costs of the Clean 

Air Act and a draft Summary Report. As 

a result of discussions and deliberation 

at the September meeting, the Council 

has developed a draft advisory report 

(dated October 4, 2010) to convey its 

comments and advice to the Agency on 

the draft EPA documents. The purpose 

of the November 22, 2010 

teleconference is for the Council to 

discuss and finalize its report to the 

Agency on the Second Prospective 

Study. Background information on this 

advisory activity is available on the

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Draft EPA documents provided to the 

Council are available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/oar/sect812/ 

prospective2.html and on the Council 

Web Site. The meeting agenda for the 

November 22, 2010 teleconference and 

the draft Council report (dated October 

4, 2010) will be posted on the Council 

Web site at (http://www.epa.gov/ 

advisorycouncilcaa) prior to the 

meeting. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit comments for a 

Federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information for 

the SAB to consider on the topics 

included in this advisory activity. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public teleconference 

will be limited to three minutes per 

speaker, with no more than a total of 

one-half hour for all speakers. Each 

person making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments so 

that the points presented orally can be 

expanded upon in writing. Interested 

individuals should contact Ms. 

Sanzone, DFO, in writing (preferably via 

e-mail) at the contact information noted 

above by November 17, 2010, to be 

placed on a list of public speakers for 

the November 22, 2010 teleconference. 

Written Statements: Written statements 

for the November 22, 2010 

teleconference should be supplied to the 

DFO via e-mail at the contact 

information noted above, by November 

17, 2010, so that the information may be 

made available to the SAB Committee 

members for their consideration and 

placed on the SAB Web site for public 

information. Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO in the following 

formats: One hard copy with original 

signature, and one electronic copy via email (acceptable file format: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). 

Submitters are asked to provide versions 

of each document submitted with and 

without signatures, because the SAB 

Staff Office does not publish documents 

with signatures on its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on
