[FRL–9931–45–Region 6] 

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Availability of List Decisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of The Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA) 

Responsiveness Summary Concerning 

EPA’s March 10, 2015 Public Notice of 

Proposed Decisions to Add Waters and 

Pollutants to Louisiana’s 2014 Section 

303(d) List. 

On March 10, 2015 EPA published a 

notice in the Federal Register at Volume 

80, Number 46, page 12628 providing 

the public the opportunity to review its 

decision to partially approve and 

proposal to partially disapprove 

Louisiana’s 2014 Section 303(d) list. 

Specifically, EPA approved Louisiana’s 

listing of 279 waterbody-pollutant 

combinations, and associated priority 

rankings. EPA proposed to disapprove 

Louisiana’s decisions not to list 43 

water quality limited segments and 

associated pollutants constituting 93 

waterbody-pollutant combinations. EPA 

also proposed to add these waterbodypollutant combinations to the 2014 

Section 303(d) list because applicable 

numeric water quality standards were 

not attained in these segments for one 

of the following parameters: Dissolved 

oxygen (marine criterion); turbidity; and 

minerals (individually or a combination 

of sulfates, chlorides, and/or total 

dissolved solids). 

Based on the Responsiveness 

Summary, EPA finds no new 

information or persuasive arguments as 

to why the 43 water quality limited 

segments should not be added to the 

2014 Louisiana Section 303(d) list as 

proposed. Therefore, EPA is taking Final 

Action on the addition of 43 water 

quality limited segments and associated 

93 waterbody-pollutant combinations to 

the final Louisiana 2014 Section 303(d) 

list. The basis for these decisions is 

described in EPA’s Decision Document 

for the Louisiana 2014 Section 303(d) 

list, available at http://www.epa.gov/

region6/water/npdes/tmdl/index.htm.

Responsiveness Summary Concerning 

EPA’s July 21, 2015 Public Notice of 

Final Decisions to Add Waters and 

Pollutants to Louisiana’s 2014 Section 

303(d) list can be obtained at EPA 

Region 6’s Web site at http://

for public inspection at the above 

address. Please contact Evelyn 

Rosborough to schedule an inspection. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Evelyn Rosborough at (214) 665–7515. 

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 

Total Maximum Daily Loads (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 list 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, 

Louisiana submitted to EPA its 2014 

listing decisions under Section 303(d) 

on August 19, 2014. On February 26, 

2015, EPA approved Louisiana’s 2014

listing of 279 water body-pollutant 

combinations and associated priority 

rankings, and proposed to disapprove 

Louisiana’s decisions not to list 43 

water quality limited segments and 

associated pollutants constituting 93 

waterbody-pollutant combinations. On 

July 21, 2015, EPA finalized the action 

to disapprove Louisiana’s 2014 listing 

decisions not to list 43 water quality 

limited segments. EPA identified these 

additional waters for inclusion on the 

2014 Section 303(d) List.

Pesticide Cumulative Risk 

Assessment: Framework for Screening 

Analysis; Notice of Availability and 

Request for Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the 

availability of draft guidance, Pesticide 

Cumulative Risk Assessment: 

Framework for Screening Analysis, for 

public comment. This document 

provides guidance on how the EPA will 

screen groups of pesticides for 

cumulative evaluation using a two-step 

approach beginning with the evaluation 

of available toxicological information 

and if necessary followed by a riskbased screening approach. This 

framework supplements the existing 

guidance documents for establishing 

common mechanism groups (CMGs) and 

conducting cumulative risk assessments 

(CRA). Additionally, EPA is also seeking 

comments on a draft copy of the human 

health risk assessment where the 

cumulative assessment was conducted 

in conjunction with pending actions for 

abamectin.

code 32532). 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

requires EPA to take into account 

available evidence concerning the 

cumulative effects of pesticide residues 

and other substances that have a 

common mechanism of toxicity. The 

Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) has 

previously developed two guidance 

documents: 

• Guidance For Identifying Pesticide 

Chemicals and Other Substances that 

have a Common Mechanism of Toxicity 

(USEPA, 1999), which describes the 

process for CMGs; 

• Guidance on Cumulative Risk 

Assessment of Pesticide Chemicals That 

Have a Common Mechanism of Toxicity 

(USEPA, 2002), which describes the 

steps used in conducting CRA. Copies of 

those two guidance documents can be 

found at http://www.regulations.gov in 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2015– 

0422. 

The process described in those 

documents results in a highly refined 

CRA but requires an extensive amount 

of resources, large amounts of 

toxicology and exposure data, and may 

involve sophisticated modelling. The 

process involves developing science 

policy documents that establish a CMG 

before conducting a highly refined CRA. 

To date, OPP has established five CMGs: 

Organophosphates (OPs), N-methyl 

carbamates (NMCs), chloracetanilides, 

triazines, and naturally occurring 

pyrethrins and synthetic pyrethroids. 

CRAs have been conducted on each 

group and are available at http://

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/cumulative/. 

The level of refinement provided by 

this approach is not necessary or even 

feasible for all existing pesticide classes. 

The 2002 CRA guidance notes that not 

all cumulative assessments need to be of 

the same depth and scope and that it is 

important to determine the need for a 

comprehensive risk assessment by 

considering the exposure profile. The 

2011 World Health Organization 

International Programme on Chemical 

Safety guidance on CRA which are 

available at http://www.who.int/ipcs/en
