26552 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2016 / Notices 

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 the EPA. Members of the 

public can submit relevant comments 

pertaining to the EPA’s charge, meeting 

materials, or the group providing 

advice. Input from the public to the SAB 

will have the most impact if it provides 

specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for the SAB to 

consider or if it relates to the clarity or 

accuracy of the technical information. 

Members of the public wishing to 

provide comment should contact the 

DFO directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to five minutes. Persons 

interested in providing oral statements 

at the June 14–15, 2016 meeting should 

contact Mr. Thomas Carpenter, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by June 

1, 2016 to be placed on the list of 

registered speakers. Written Statements: 

Written statements for the June 14–15, 

2016 meeting should be received in the 

SAB Staff Office by June 7, 2016 so that 

the information can be made available 

to the SAB for its consideration prior to 

the meeting. Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO at the contact 

information above via email (preferred) 

or in hard copy with original signature. 

Submitters are requested to provide a 

signed and unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

personal contact information, if 

included in any written comments, may 

be posted to the SAB Web site. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the 

copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. 

Carpenter at the phone number or email 

address noted above, preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting, to give the 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board

DATES: EPA’s approval is effective June

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On April 11, 2016, the Connecticut 

Department of Public Health (CT DPH) 

submitted an application titled 

Compliance Monitoring Data Portal for 

revision to its EPA-approved drinking 

water program under title 40 CFR to 

allow new electronic reporting. EPA 

reviewed CT DPH’s request to revise its 

EPA-authorized program and, based on 

this review, EPA determined that the 

application met the standards for 

approval of authorized program revision 

set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this 

notice of EPA’s decision to approve 

Connecticut’s request to revise its Part 

142—National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations Implementation program to 

allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR 

part 141 is being published in the 

Federal Register. 

CT DPH was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above. 

Also, in today’s notice, EPA is 

informing interested persons that they 

may request a public hearing on EPA’s 

action to approve the State of 

Connecticut’s request to revise its 

authorized public water system program 

under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance 

with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a 

hearing must be submitted to EPA 

within 30 days of publication of today’s 

Federal Register notice. Such requests 

should include the following 

information: 

(1) The name, address and telephone 

number of the individual, organization 

or other entity requesting a hearing; 

(2) A brief statement of the requesting 

person’s interest in EPA’s 

determination, a brief explanation as to 

why EPA should hold a hearing, and 

any other information that the 

requesting person wants EPA to 

consider when determining whether to 

grant the request; 

(3) The signature of the individual 

making the request, or, if the request is 

made on behalf of an organization or 

other entity, the signature of a 

responsible official of the organization 

or other entity.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 

EXAMINATION COUNCIL 

[Docket No. FFIEC–2016–0001] 

Uniform Interagency Consumer 

Compliance Rating System 

AGENCY: Federal Financial Institutions 

Examination Council (FFIEC). 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 3301, 

the Federal Financial Institutions 

Examination Council (FFIEC), 

established in 1979, is a formal 

interagency body empowered to 

prescribe principles and standards for 

the federal examination of financial 

institutions and to make 

recommendations to promote 

consistency and coordination in the 

supervision of institutions. 

The six members of the FFIEC 

represent the Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System (FRB), the 

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 

(FDIC), the National Credit Union 

Administration (NCUA), the Office of 

the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), 

the State Liaison Committee (SLC), and 

the Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau (CFPB) (Agencies). 

The FFIEC promotes compliance with 

federal consumer protection laws and 

regulations through each agency’s 

supervisory and outreach programs. 

Through compliance supervision, the 

FFIEC Agencies determine whether an 

institution is meeting its responsibility 

to comply with applicable requirements. 

The FFIEC requests comment on a 

proposal to revise the Uniform 

Interagency Consumer Compliance 

Rating System, more commonly known 

as the ‘‘CC Rating System,’’ to reflect the 

regulatory, examination (supervisory), 

technological, and market changes that 

have occurred in the years since the 

current rating system was established. 

The FFIEC is proposing to revise the 

existing CC Rating System to better 

reflect current consumer compliance 

supervisory approaches. The revisions 

are designed to more fully align the 

rating system with the FFIEC Agencies’ 

current risk-based, tailored examination
