and the telephone number for the OEI 

Docket is (202) 566–1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through http:// 

www.regulations.gov. You may use the 

www.regulations.gov to submit or view 

public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and to access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the 

appropriate docket identification 

number. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov without change, 

unless the comment contains 

copyrighted material, CBI, or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and To Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. 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. 

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web 

site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the official public 

docket, and made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–8287–7] 

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Availability of List Decisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This action announces the 

availability of EPA decisions identifying 

water quality limited segments and 

associated pollutants in California to be 

listed pursuant to Clean Water Act 

section 303(d)(2), and requests public 

comment. Section 303(d)(2) requires 

that states submit and EPA approve or 

disapprove lists of waters for which 

existing technology-based 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 November 30, 2006, EPA partially 

approved California’s 2004–2006 303(d) 

submittal. Specifically, EPA approved 

California’s proposal to list impaired 

waters and associated pollutants. On 

March 8, 2007, EPA partially 

disapproved California’s decisions not 

to list 64 water quality limited segments 

and associated pollutants, and 

additional pollutants for 37 water 

bodies already listed by the State. EPA 

identified these additional water bodies 

and pollutants for inclusion on the 

State’s 2004–2006 section 303(d) list. 

EPA is providing the public the 

opportunity to review its decisions to 

add waters and pollutants to California 

2004–2006 section 303(d) list, as 

required by EPA’s Public Participation 

regulations. EPA will consider public 

comments in reaching its final decisions 

on the additional water bodies and 

pollutants identified for inclusion on 

California’s final lists. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

EPA on or before April 16, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

decisions should be sent to Peter 

Kozelka, TMDL Liaison, Water Division 

(WTR–2), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency Region IX, 75 

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 

94105, telephone (415) 972–3448, 

facsimile (415) 947–3537, e-mail 

kozelka.peter@epa.gov. Oral comments 

will not be considered. Copies of the 

decisions concerning California’s 303(d) 

list which explain the rationale for 

EPA’s decisions can be obtained at EPA 

Region 9’s Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/region9/water/tmdl/ 

303d.html by writing or calling Mr. 

Kozelka at the above address. 

Underlying documentation comprising 

the record for these decisions is 

available for public inspection at the 

above address. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Peter Kozelka at (415) 972–3448 or 

kozelka.peter@epa.gov. 

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 

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 lists 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). On March 31, 2000, EPA 

promulgated a revision to this 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
12176 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 50 / Thursday, March 15, 2007 / Notices 

regulation that waived the requirement 

for states to submit Section 303(d) lists 

in 2000 except in cases where a court 

order, consent decree, or settlement 

agreement required EPA to take action 

on a list in 2000 (65 FR 17170). 

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, 

California submitted to EPA its listing 

decisions under Section 303(d)(2) on 

November 24, 2006. On November 30, 

2006, EPA approved California’s list of 

impaired waters, except Walnut Creek 

Toxicity. EPA disapproved California’s 

decisions not to list 64 water quality 

limited segments and associated 

pollutants, and additional pollutants for 

37 water bodies already listed by the 

State. EPA identified these additional 

waters and pollutants for inclusion on 

the 2004–2006 Section 303(d) list. EPA 

solicits public comment on its 

identification of these additional waters 

and associated pollutants for inclusion 

on California’s 2004–2006 Section 

303(d) list.

agencies to take this opportunity to 

comment on continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35). Currently, the FDIC 

is soliciting comments concerning the 

following collections of information 

titled: Application For Consent to 

Exercise Trust Powers (3064–0025); 

Asset Securitization (3064–0137); and 

Insurance Sales Consumer Protections 

(3064–0140).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Title: Application for Consent to 

Exercise Trust Powers. 

OMB Number: 3064–0025. 

Form Number: FDIC 6200/09. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Insured state 

nonmember banks wishing to exercise 

trust powers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

18. 

Estimated Time per Response for 

Eligible Depository Institutions: 8 hours. 

Estimated Time per Response for 

Institutions that do not Qualify as 

Eligible Institutions: 24 hours. 

Total Annual Burden: 208 hours. 

General Description of Collection: 

FDIC regulations (12 CFR 333.2) 

prohibit any insured state nonmember 

bank from changing the general 

character of its business without the 

prior written consent of the FDIC. The 

exercise of trust powers by a bank is 

usually considered to be a change in the 

general character of a bank’s business if 

the bank did not exercise those powers 

previously. Therefore, unless a bank is 

currently exercising trust powers, it 

must file a formal application to obtain 

the FDIC’s written consent to exercise 

trust powers. State banking authorities, 

not the FDIC, grant trust powers to their 

banks. The FDIC merely consents to the 

exercise of such powers. Applicants use 

form FDIC 6200/09 to obtain FDIC’s 

consent. 

2. Title: Interagency Guidance on 

Asset Securitization Activities. 

OMB Number: 3064–0137. 

Form Number: None. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Insured state 

nonmember banks involved in asset 

securitization activities. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 20. 

Estimated Time per Response: 7.45 

hours. 

Total Annual Burden: 149 hours. 

General Description of Collection: The 

collection applies to institutions 

engaged in asset securitization and 

consists in recordkeeping requirements 

associated with developing or upgrading 

a written asset securitization policy, 

documenting fair value of retained 

interests, and a management 

information system to monitor 

securitization activities. Bank 

managements use this information as 

the basis for the safe and sound 

operation of their asset securitization 

activities and to ensure that they 

minimize operational risk in these 

activities. The FDIC uses the 

information to evaluate the quality of an 

institution’s risk management practices, 

and to assist institutions without proper 

internal supervision of their asset 

securitization activities to implement 

corrective action to conduct these 

activities in a safe and sound manner. 

3. Title: Consumer Protections for 

Depository Institution Sales of 

Insurance. 

OMB Number: 3064–0140. 

Form Number: None. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Insured state 

nonmember banks that sell insurance 

products; persons who sell insurance 

products in or on behalf of insured state 

nonmember banks. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,670. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,670 hours. 

General Description of Collection: 

Respondents must prepare and provide 

certain disclosures to consumers (e.g., 

that insurance products and annuities 

are not FDIC-insured) and obtain 

consumer acknowledgments, at two 

different times: (1) Before the 

completion of the initial sale of an 

insurance product or annuity to a 

consumer; and (2) at the time of 

application for the extension of credit (if 

insurance products or annuities are 

sold, solicited, advertised, or offered in 

connection with an extension of credit). 

Request for Comment 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

these collections of information are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the FDIC’s functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; (b) 

the accuracy of the estimates of the 

burden of the information collections, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
