(3) If a tribe’s asserted authority is 

subject to a competing or conflicting 

claim, the Regional Administrator, after 

due consideration, and in consideration 

of other comments received, shall 

determine whether the tribe has 

adequately demonstrated that it meets 

the requirements of paragraph (a)(3) of 

this section. 

(4) Where EPA has previously 

determined that a tribe qualifies for TAS 

for the CWA Section 303(c) Water 

Quality Standards Program, CWA 

Section 402 National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System Program, 

or CWA Section 404 Dredge and Fill 

Permit Program, and EPA has provided 

notice and an opportunity to comment 

on the tribe’s assertion of authority to 

appropriate governmental entities as 

part of its review of the prior 

application, no further notice to 

governmental entities, as described in 

paragraph (c)(2) of this section, shall be 

provided with regard to the same tribe’s 

application for the CWA Section 303(d) 

Impaired Water Listing and TMDL 

Program, unless the application presents 

to the EPA Regional Administrator 

different jurisdictional issues or 

significant new factual or legal 

information relevant to jurisdiction. 

(5) Where the Regional Administrator 

determines that a tribe meets the 

requirements of this section, he or she 

shall promptly provide written 

notification to the tribe that the tribe is 

authorized to administer the CWA 

Section 303(d) Impaired Water Listing 

and TMDL Program. Such tribe shall be 

considered a ‘‘State’’ for purposes of 

CWA section 303(d) and its 

implementing regulations. With respect 

to the timing requirement for submittal 

of an authorized tribe’s first list of 

impaired waters pursuant to 

§ 130.7(d)(1), the tribe’s first list is due 

on the next listing cycle due date that 

is 24 months after the later of either: 

(i) The date EPA approves the tribe’s 

TAS application pursuant to this section 

or 

(ii) The date EPA-approved or EPApromulgated water quality standards 

become effective for the tribe’s 

reservation waters.

2804 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

of the insecticide spirodiclofen, 

including its metabolites and 

degradates. Compliance with the 

tolerance levels specified is to be 

determined by measuring only 

spirodiclofen (3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2- 

oxo-1-oxaspiro[4,5]dec-3-en-4-yl 2,2- 

dimethylbutanoate). (a)(2). Tolerances

with the tolerance levels specified is to 

be determined by measuring only the 

sum of spirodiclofen (3-(2,4- 

dichlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1- 

oxaspiro[4,5]dec-3-en-4-yl 2,2- 

dimethylbutanoate) and its metabolite 3-

metabolites and degradates, in or on 

corn, sweet, forage at 5 parts per million 

(ppm); corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with 

husks removed at 0.01 ppm; and corn,

CFR part 180 for the combined residues 

of the fungicide, cis- and trans-1,3- 

dichloropropene, including its 

metabolites and degradates, in or on 

pineapple at 0.02 ppm. It is proposed 

that compliance with the tolerance 

levels specified in § 180.636 is to be 

determined by measuring cis- and trans1,3-dichloropropene and its metabolites 

cis- and trans-3-chloroacrylic acid, and 

cis-and trans-3-chloroallylalcohol, in or 

on the commodity. The proposed 

tolerances are to support post plant use 

in pineapple, similar to the established 

drip irrigation use of 1,3-

nitroguanidine, in or on the vegetable, 

fruiting group 8 at 0.2 ppm, upon 

approval of fruiting, vegetables, group 

8–10, except pepper/eggplant subgroup 

8–10B at 0.2 ppm under ‘‘New 

Tolerance’’ for PP 2F8008; and replacing 

the tolerance for residues of the 

insecticide clothianidin, (E)-1-(2-chloro1,3-thiazol-5-ylmethyl)-3-methyl-2- 

nitroguanidine, in or on fruit, pome at 

1.0 ppm with fruit, pome group (11–10) 

at 1.0 ppm due to the expansion of crop

benzenedicarboxamide) in or on the 

following: Bushberry subgroup 13–07B
