SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

What should I consider as I prepare my 

comments for EPA? 

To remain effective and continue 

fulfilling its mission, the EPA will need 

to adapt to already observed and 

projected changes. To that end, the 

Agency will continue to collaborate 

with partners at the federal, state, tribal, 

and local levels to develop the requisite 

information, tools and strategies. The 

Draft National Water Program 2012 

Strategy: Response to Climate Change 

(Draft 2012 Strategy) addresses the 

challenges climate change poses and 

lays out a long term vision for the 

sustainable management of water 

resources for future generations in light 

of climate change. The Draft 2012 

Strategy is intended to be a roadmap to 

guide future programmatic planning, 

and inform decision makers during the 

Agency’s annual planning process. It 

describes the array of actions that 

should be taken in the coming years to 

build a climate resilient national water 

program. 

The following questions are intended 

to solicit input and insight for particular 

areas of the Draft 2012 Strategy. In 

addition to these questions, reviewers 

are encouraged to consider their own 

questions pertinent to their interests. 

• Which Clean Water Act and Safe 

Drinking Water Act program areas do 

you think are most vulnerable to climate 

change? Which strategic actions should 

be prioritized? Are there strategies that 

are missing or need revision? 

• Are there important partnerships 

that have not been identified? 

• Are there examples of methods for 

measuring and tracking progress and 

outcomes of adaptation activities? Is the 

approach described adequate? 

• Are there research priorities that 

were not listed? 

• Please supply any additional 

references addressing the economics of 

climate change adaptation (e.g., 

assessing the costs and benefits of 

climate change adaption projects). 

• How can we improve our 

representation of tribal climate change 

and water interests? Are there examples 

of incorporating traditional ecological 

knowledge involving water resources 

into climate adaptation science and 

strategies? 

Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In a separate notice of data 

availability, EPA provided an 

opportunity to comment on EPA’s 

analyses of palm oil used as a feedstock 

to produce biodiesel and renewable 

diesel under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS) program. EPA’s analysis 

of palm oil-based biofuels is a 

supplement to the final rule published 

on March 26, 2010, which made 

changes to the RFS program (75 FR 

14670). EPA’s analysis of the two types 

of biofuel shows that biodiesel and 

renewable diesel produced from palm 

oil have estimated lifecycle greenhouse 

gas (GHG) emission reductions of 17% 

and 11% respectively for these biofuels 

compared to the statutory baseline 

petroleum-based diesel fuel used in the
