[FRL–9653–4] 

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Proposed Withdrawal of Nine Total 

Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed withdrawal 

of nine TMDLs. 

SUBJECT: The EPA hereby issues notice 

of the proposed withdrawal of nine final 

Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) 

for Chloride, Sulfate, and Total 

Dissolved Solids (TDS) for the Bayou de 

L’Outre Watershed in Arkansas. The 

EPA proposes to withdraw the Bayou de 

L’Outre TMDLs due to the discovery of 

inconsistencies in the values used to 

derive the flow and load duration 

curves, resulting in the calculation of 

TMDLs which do not accurately reflect 

the loading capacity of the segments. 

Any future withdrawal action will not 

affect seven final TMDLs published 

under the same Federal Register notice 

(see 76 FR 52947) which pertain to 

segments 08040203–010, 08040204–006, 

and 08040206–015, –016, –716, –816, 

–916. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

withdrawal action must be submitted in 

writing to the EPA on or before April 27, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

withdrawal action of the Bayou de 

L’Outre TMDLs should be sent to Diane 

Smith, Environmental Protection 

Specialist, Water Quality Protection 

Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue 

Dallas, TX 75202–2733, or emailed to 

smith.diane@epa.gov. The 

administrative record files for the nine 

TMDLs are available for public 

inspection at the previously listed 

address. Please contact Diane Smith (via 

mail, email, or by calling (214) 665– 

2145) to schedule an inspection or to 

obtain copies of relevant supporting 

documents. Documents from the 

administrative record files may also be 

viewed at http://www.epa.gov/region6/ 

water/npdes/tmdl/index.htm. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

TMDLs were developed under EPA 

Contract Number 68–C–02–108. The 

Federal Register notice of availability, 

seeking public comments on the draft 

TMDLs, was published on December 17, 

2007 (see 72 FR 71409). Public 

comments were received by January 16, 

2008, and a response to each comment 

was provided. The Federal Register 

notice of availability for the final 

TMDLs was published on August 24, 

2011 (see 76 FR 52947). The nine 

pollutant pairs for Bayou de L’Outre 

subject to the proposed withdrawal are 

as follows. 

Segment (reach) Waterbody name Pollutant 

08040202–006 .................................................... Bayou de L’Outre ............................................. Chloride, Sulfate, TDS. 

08040202–007 .................................................... Bayou de L’Outre ............................................. Chloride, Sulfate, TDS. 

08040202–008 .................................................... Bayou de L’Outre ............................................. Chloride, Sulfate, TDS. 

The 2008 Arkansas Clean Water Act 

(CWA) Section 303(d) list of impaired 

waters is the current EPA approved list, 

and includes the three Bayou de L’Outre 

segments addressed by this action. Any 

future withdrawal action of the 

aforementioned TMDLs will not affect 

the listing of those segments.

Notice of Tentative Approval and 

Opportunity for Public Comment and 

Public Hearing for Public Water 

System Supervision Program Revision 

for Virginia 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Approval and 

Solicitation of Requests for Public 

Hearing and Comments. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in 

accordance with the provision of section 

1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as 

amended, and the requirements 

governing the National Primary 

Drinking Water Regulations 

Implementation, 40 CFR Part 142, that 

the Commonwealth of Virginia is 

revising its approved Public Water 

System Supervision Program. The 

Commonwealth has adopted the 

drinking water regulation for the 

Ground Water Rule (GWR) which will 

provide for better public health 

protection by reducing public water 

system consumers’ risk of microbial 

illness from drinking water. EPA has 

determined that the Commonwealth 

rule meets all minimum federal 

requirements, and that the 

Commonwealth revision is no less 

stringent than the corresponding federal 

regulation. Therefore, EPA is taking 

action to tentatively approve these 

program revisions. All interested parties 

are invited to submit written comments 

on this determination and may request 

a public hearing. 

DATES: Comments or a request for a 

public hearing must be submitted by 

April 27, 2012. This determination shall 

become final and effective on April 27, 

2012, if no timely and appropriate 

request for a hearing is received and the 

Regional Administrator does not elect to 

hold a hearing on his own motion, and 

if no comments are received which 

cause EPA to modify its tentative 

approval. 

ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for 

a public hearing must be submitted to 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103– 

2029. Comments may also be submitted 

electronically to schmitt.ellen@epa.gov. 

All documents relating to this 

determination are available for 

inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. 

and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

at the following offices: 

• Drinking Water Branch, 3WP21, 

Water Protection Division, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103– 

2029.

Registration Review; Pesticide 

Dockets Opened for Review and 

Comment and Other Docket Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has established 

registration review dockets for the 

pesticides listed in the table in Unit 

III.A. With this document, EPA is 

opening the public comment period for 

these registration reviews. Registration 

review is EPA’s periodic review of 

pesticide registrations to ensure that 

each pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. This document 

also announces the Agency’s intent not 

to open a registration review docket for 

dicofol, molinate, or bromonitrostyrene. 

Bromonitrostyrene and molinate do not 

currently have any actively registered 

pesticide products and are not, 

therefore, scheduled for review under 

the registration review program. Dicofol 

is undergoing a phase-out of all U.S. 

pesticide registrations. The 

cancellations of the end use 

registrations are effective October 31, 

2013. Therefore, dicofol is not 

scheduled for review under the 

registration review program. EPA is also 

announcing the availability of an 

amended final work plan for the 

registration review of the pesticide 

tribenuron methyl; this work plan has 

been amended to incorporate revisions 

to the data requirements. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 29, 2012.

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through regulations.gov or 

email. The regulations.gov Web site is

the docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
