63760 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 210 / Tuesday, October 31, 2006 / Notices 

identifying water quality limited 

segments and associated pollutants in 

Arkansas to be listed pursuant to Clean 

Water Act (CWA) Section 303(d), and 

request for public comment. Section 

303(d) requires that states submit and 

EPA approve or disapprove lists of 

waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not 

stringent enough to attain or maintain 

state water quality standards and for 

which total maximum daily loads 

(TMDLs) must be prepared. 

On October 16, 2006, EPA partially 

approved and partially disapproved 

Arkansas’ 2004 303(d) submittal. 

Specifically, EPA approved Arkansas’

listing of 271 water body-pollutant 

combinations, and associated priority 

rankings and deferred its action on 129 

water body pollutant combinations until 

the State submits its formal 2006 303(d) 

list. EPA disapproved Arkansas’

decisions not to list 5 water bodypollutant combinations. EPA identified 

these additional water body pollutantcombinations along with priority 

rankings for inclusion on the 2004 

Section 303(d) List. 

EPA is providing the public the 

opportunity to review its final decisions 

to add water body pollutantcombinations to Arkansas’ 2004 Section 

303(d) List, as required by EPA’s Public 

Participation regulations (40 CFR Part 

25). EPA will consider public comments 

and if necessary amend its final action 

on the additional water body pollutantcombinations identified for inclusion on 

Arkansas’ Final 2004 Section 303(d) 

List. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted in 

writing to EPA on or before November 

30, 2006. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the decisions 

should be sent to Diane Smith, 

Environmental Protection Specialist, 

Water Quality Protection Division, U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Region 6, 1445 Ross Ave., Dallas, TX 

75202–2733, telephone (214) 665–2145, 

facsimile (214) 665–7373, or e-mail: 

smith.diane@epa.gov. Oral comments 

will not be considered. Copies of the 

documents which explain the rationale 

for EPA’s decisions and a list of the 5 

water quality limited segments for 

which EPA disapproved Arkansas’

decision not to list can be obtained at 

EPA Region 6’s Web site at 

www.epa.gov/earth1r6/6wq/tmdl.htm, 

or by writing or calling Ms. Smith at the 

above address. Underlying documents

decisions are available for public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the CWA requires that each 

state identify those waters for which 

existing technology-based pollution 

controls are not stringent enough to 

attain or maintain state water quality 

standards. For those waters, states are 

required to establish 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, 

Arkansas submitted to EPA its listing 

decisions under Section 303(d) on May 

20, 2004 with subsequent revisions 

submitted on August 17, 2004, 

November 12, 2004, July 20, 2005, and 

October 11, 2005. On October 16, 2006, 

EPA approved Arkansas’ listing of 271 

water body-pollutant combinations and 

associated priority rankings and 

deferred action on 129 water bodypollutant combinations. EPA 

disapproved Arkansas’ decision not to 

list 5 water body-pollutant 

combinations and associated priority 

rankings. EPA identified these 

additional water body-pollutant 

combinations along with priority 

rankings for inclusion on the 2004 

Section 303(d) List. EPA solicits public 

comment on its identification of 5 

additional water body-pollutant 

combinations for inclusion on Arkansas’

2004 Section 303(d) List. 

Dated: October 20, 2006.

Director, Water Quality Protection Division, 

Region 6.
