82386 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 250 / Thursday, December 30, 2010 / Notices 

standards are exceeded. (See CWA 

section 406(b)(3)(A) and the National 

Beach Guidance and Required 

Performance Criteria for Grants.) Grant 

recipients must submit to EPA the 

monitoring and notification reports for 

any beach season by January 31 of the 

year following the beach season (68 FR 

15446, 15449 (March 31, 2003)). For the 

2011 beach season, the deadline for 

states to submit complete and correct 

reports is January 31, 2012. 

In addition, grant recipients must 

report to EPA, latitude, longitude and 

mileage data on (1) the extent of beaches 

and similar points of public access 

adjacent to coastal recreation waters, 

and (2) the extent of those beaches that 

are monitored. EPA first established this 

requirement in the Federal Register 

notice for the fiscal year 2003 grants (68 

FR 15446, 15447 (March 31, 2003)). EPA 

is continuing this requirement in order 

to capture any changes states, tribes, 

and local governments may make to 

their beach monitoring and notification 

programs. States, tribes, and local 

governments must report to EPA any 

changes to either the extent of their 

beaches or similar points of access, or to 

the extent of their beaches that are 

monitored. 

As new predictive tools and methods 

of measuring water quality become more 

widespread, the ability to provide 

timely information to the public will 

increase. Coupled with improvements to 

the data submission process, it will be 

easier for states and EPA to make 

notification and water quality data 

available to the public. Therefore, EPA 

is considering requiring states to report 

to EPA more frequently than annually in 

the future. The Agency intends to 

review state and federal agency 

capabilities, resource constraints, and 

the impact of more frequent reporting, 

and make any necessary changes to the 

appropriate section of the National 

Beach Guidance and Performance 

Criteria. Any such changes would not 

affect reporting for the 2011 beach 

season. 

What regulations apply to the award 

and administration of these grants? 

The regulations at 40 CFR part 31 

govern the award and administration of 

grants to states, tribes, local 

governments, and territories under CWA 

section 406(b). Allowable costs will be 

determined according to the cost 

principles outlined in 2 CFR part 225.

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA met this mandate by 

publishing weekly notices of availability 

of EPA comments, which includes a 

brief summary of EPA’s comment 

letters, in the Federal Register. Since 

February 2008, EPA has included its 

comment letters on EISs on its Web site 

at: http://www.epa.gov/compliance/ 

nepa/eisdata.html. Including the entire 

EIS comment letters on the website 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, on 

March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the 

publication of the notice of availability 

of EPA comments in the Federal 

Register.
