Availability of Meeting Materials: Teleconference agendas and any other meeting materials will be placed on the SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the teleconferences. The proposed rule titled Definition of Waters of the United States under the Clean
Water Act is available on the EPA Web

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 EPA. Members of the public can submit comments for a federal advisory committee to consider as it develops advice for EPA. Input from the public to the SAB will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or technical information or analysis for SAB panels to consider or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information. Members of the public wishing to provide oral statements to the SAB Panel should contact the DFO directly. Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public teleconference will be limited to three minutes. Interested parties should contact Dr. Thomas Armitage, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted above by August 13, 2014 to be placed on the list of public speakers for August 20, 2014. Written Statements: Members of the public wishing to provide written comments may submit them to the EPA Docket electronically via www.regulations.gov by email, by mail, or by hand delivery/ courier. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the written statements section of this notice. Written statements should be received in the EPA Docket by August 13, 2014 so that the information may be made available to the SAB Panel for its consideration. Written statements should be identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OA–2014–0010 and submitted to the Docket at www.regulations.gov by one of the following methods:

• www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for submitting

comments.

• Email: Docket

_ OEI@epa.gov: Include the docket number in the subject line of the message.

• Mail: Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket (Mail Code: 28221T), Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OA– 2014–0010, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460. The phone number is (202) 566–1752.

• Hand Delivery: The OEI Docket is located in the EPA headquarters Docket Center, Room 3334, EPA West Building, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744. Deliveries are only accepted during the docket’s normal hours of operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of boxed information.

Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OA–2014–0010. Please ensure that your comments are submitted by August 13, 2014. Comments received after that date will be marked late and may not be provided to the SAB Panel for consideration before the August 20, 2014 teleconference. It is EPA’s policy to include all comments received in the public docket without change and to make the comments available on-line at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided, unless a comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or email. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public 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 comments due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, the SAB Panel may not be able to consider your comments. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption and be free of any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA’s public docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

Documents in the docket are listed in the www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material will be publicly available only in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically at www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI Docket in the EPA Headquarters Docket Center.

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDDAA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and technical advice to the Administrator on the technical basis for agency positions and regulations. The SAB is a federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB and its panels will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the SAB Advisory Panel on EPA’s Report on the Environment 2014 will hold a public meeting to discuss the Agency’s draft Report on the Environment (ROE) 2014. This SAB panel will provide advice to the Administrator through the chartered
SAB.

EPA’s ROE compiles and maintains indicators on the status and trends for environmental and human health conditions related to the mission of the agency. The indicators are focused on informing questions of interest to the EPA and its mission of protecting the environment and human health. The EPA’s first ROE was released in draft in 2003 with the corresponding final report released in 2008 in hard copy and online format. The SAB provided advice on two draft versions leading up to the 2008 ROE; the findings and recommendations of those SAB reviews are available on the SAB Web site at www.epa.gov/sab (see reports EPA– SAB–05–004 and EPA–SAB–08–007). In 2009, SAB members provided additional input to inform the continued development of future versions of the ROE (see report EPA– SAB–09–017). In response to suggestions from the SAB and additional comments from users of the ROE, the EPA developed the draft ROE 2014 as an entirely web-based product.

The EPA’s Office of Research and Development has requested that the SAB review and comment on the recently released draft of the ROE Web site (http://www.epa.gov/draftroe) with particular attention to the new features added since the release of the 2008 report. Specifically, the Agency has requested the SAB to comment on the clarity of the ROE objectives for various audiences, the overarching conceptual framework based on a sustainability theme, the addition of statistical information for individual indicators, and the presentation of the ROE 2014 features in an online format.

The EPA made the draft ROE 2014 Web site available for public comment through April 27, 2014 (see https:// www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/03/27/2014–06824/draft-revised-epasreport-on-the-environment-2014 ). Public comments received by the agency will be provided to the SAB panel.

The purpose of the July 30–31, 2014, meeting is for the SAB Panel to be briefed on the ROE 2014 and to develop draft responses to a set of EPA charge questions.

. 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. Interested members of the public may submit relevant written or oral information on the topic of this advisory activity (including the review materials and the charge), and/or the group conducting the activity, for the SAB to consider during the advisory process. Input from the public to the SAB will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or technical information or analysis for SAB committees 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. Interested parties should contact Ms. Stephanie Sanzone, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at the contact information noted above by July 23, 2014, to be placed on the list of public speakers for the meeting.

Written Statements: Written statements should be supplied to the DFO via email at the contact information noted above by July 23, 2014, so that the information may be made available to the panel members for their consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should be supplied in one of the following electronic formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. It is the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the Web page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are requested to provide an 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.

**Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of**  **Mississippi**

**AGENCY :**  U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of tentative approval.

**SUMMARY :**  Notice is hereby given that the State of Mississippi is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Mississippi has adopted the following rules: Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, Lead and Copper Rule Short-Term Regulatory Revisions and Clarifications, and Ground Water Rule. The EPA has determined that Mississippi’s rules are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. Therefore, the EPA is tentatively approving this revision to the State of Mississippi’s Public Water System Supervision Program.

**DATES :**  Any interested person may request a public hearing. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by August 11, 2014, to the Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 4 address shown below. The Regional Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by August 11, 2014, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on her own motion, this tentative approval shall become final and effective on August 11, 2014. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following information: The name, address and telephone number of the individual, organization or other entity requesting a hearing; a brief statement of the requesting person’s interest in the Regional Administrator’s determination and a brief statement of the information that the requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and 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.

**ADDRESSES :**  All documents relating to this determination are available for inspection between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the following offices: Mississippi State Department of Health, Bureau of Public Water Supply, 570 East Woodrow Wilson Drive, Jackson, Mississippi 39216; and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4, Safe Drinking Water Branch, 61 Forsyth Street SW., Atlanta, Georgia

30303.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Dale Froneberger, EPA Region 4, Safe Drinking Water Branch, by mail at the Atlanta address given above, by telephone at (404) 562–9446, or by email at froneberger.dale@epa.gov.

EPA Analysis: On August 29, 2012, the State of Mississippi submitted a request that the Region approve a revision to the State’s Safe Drinking Water Act Public Water System Supervision Program to include the authority to implement and enforce the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule Short-Term Regulatory Revisions and Clarifications. On November 6, 2012, the State of Mississippi submitted a request that the Region approve a revision to the State’s Safe Drinking Water Act Public Water System Supervision Program to include the authority to implement and enforce the Ground Water Rule. For the requests to be approved, the EPA must find the State Rules codified at 15 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 20, Subpt. 72, Ch. 1., to be no less stringent than the Federal Rules codified at 40 CFR Part 141, Subpart T— Enhanced Filtration and Disinfection— Systems Serving Fewer Than 10,000 People; 40 CFR part 141, Subpart W— Enhanced Treatment for Cryptosporidium; 40 CFR part 141, Subpart L—Disinfectant Residuals, Disinfection Byproducts, and Disinfection Byproduct Precursors; 40 CFR Part 141, Subpart U—Initial Distribution System Evaluations; 40 CFR part 141, Subpart V—Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Requirements; 40 CFR part 141, Subpart I—Control of Lead and Copper; and 40 CFR Part 141, Subpart S—Ground Water Rule. The EPA reviewed the applications using the Federal statutory provisions (Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act), Federal regulations (at 40 CFR part 142), State regulations, rule crosswalks, and EPA regulatory guidance to determine whether the requests for revision are approvable. The EPA determined that the Mississippi regulations are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations.

EPA Action: The EPA is tentatively approving this revision. If the EPA does not receive a timely and appropriate request for a hearing and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on her own motion, this tentative approval will become final and effective on August 11, 2014.

Authority: Section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (1996), and
40 CFR Part 142.

Dated: June 16, 2014. Heather McTeer Toney, Regional Administrator, Region 4.
