II. Summary of Permit Actions 

A. Issuance of 2012 CGP for Additional 

States and Tribes 

On February 16, 2012, EPA issued the 

2012 CGP for most of the areas where 

EPA is the permitting authority. Because 

EPA had not yet received Clean Water 

Act Section 401 certifications from 

certain states and tribes, EPA was not 

able to issue the final CGP in these 

areas. The following states and tribes 

were affected: 

• The State of Idaho; 

• Federal operators in Washington; 

• The Fond Du Lac Band and Grand 

Portage Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa in Minnesota; and 

• The Bad River, Lac Du Flambeau, 

and Sokaogon Chippewa (Mole Lake) 

Community in Wisconsin. 

Now that EPA has received the 

required Clean Water Act 401 

certifications, the Agency has issued the 

final 2012 CGP for these areas, except 

for the Sokaogon Chippewa (Mole Lake) 

Community in Wisconsin, who denied 

certification of the permit. Pursuant to 

CWA section 401(d), the limitations and 

requirements contained in these 

certifications are now conditions of the 

2012 CGP and are included in Part 9 of 

the permit. See Parts 9.3, 9.7.1, and 

9.7.3. 

The complete text of the updated 

2012 CGP as well as additional 

information on Webcasts, Guidance, and 

Other Implementation Assistance can be 

obtained through EPA’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/ 

cgp. 

B. Correction of Typographical Errors in 

New Mexico Requirements 

Following the issuance of the 2012 

CGP on February 16, 2012, EPA 

discovered that a few of the 

requirements in Part 9.4.1 were 

incorrectly transcribed from the State of 

New Mexico’s Section 401 certification 

conditions. The errors related to EPA’s 

misinterpretation of a few of the state’s 

site stabilization conditions. 

Additionally, EPA learned that the 

permit’s list of New Mexico waterbodies 

designated by the state as Tier 2 or Tier 

3 for antidegradation purposes 

(Appendix F) was inaccurate. As a 

result of the errors, Appendix F did not 

properly inform construction operators 

of which waters are designated by the 

state as Tier 2; construction sites 

discharging to Tier 2-designated waters 

are subject to stricter stabilization and 

inspection requirements. See Part 3.3.2. 

In consultation with the state, EPA has 

corrected the errors and included 

updated requirements in Part 9.4.1 and 

Appendix F of the permit. 

C. Correction to Omission of Idaho’s List 

of Sensitive Waters 

Subsequent to permit issuance, EPA 

also discovered that it had erroneously 

omitted Idaho’s list of state Tier 2 and 

3 waters (Appendix F). In consultation 

with the state, EPA has corrected the 

omission, and has updated the 

Appendix F list to include instructions 

on how to determine if particular waters 

are designated as Tier 2 or 3. 

III. Compliance With Other Statutes 

EPA summarized the Agency’s 

compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563, 

Executive Order 12898, and Executive 

Order 13175 in the February 29, 2012 

Federal Register notice. See 77 FR 

12292 for more information.

(2) an SAB draft review report on EPA’s 

accounting framework for biogenic 

carbon dioxide emissions from 

stationary sources. 

DATES: The public teleconference on 

August 28, 2012, will be held from 2:00

47068 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 7, 2012 / Notices 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is 

hereby given that the EPA Science 

Advisory Board will hold two public 

teleconferences to conduct quality 

reviews of two SAB draft reports. The 

SAB was established pursuant to 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 

under FACA. The SAB will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background 

Quality review is a key function of the 

chartered SAB. Draft reports prepared 

by SAB committees, panels, or work 

groups must be reviewed and approved 

by the chartered SAB before transmittal 

to the EPA Administrator. The chartered 

SAB makes a determination in an open, 

public meeting consistent with FACA 

about the quality of all draft reports and 

determines whether the report is ready 

to be transmitted to the EPA 

Administrator. 

August 28, 2012 teleconference. The 

purpose of the August 28, 2012 

teleconference is for the chartered SAB 

to conduct a quality review of a draft 

SAB report entitled ‘‘SAB Review (7– 

24–12 Draft) of the EPA’s Ecological 

Assessment Action Plan.’’ The EPA’s 

Office of the Science Advisor requested 

that the SAB review the agency’s 

ecological assessment action plan 

developed in response to 

recommendations in a 2007 SAB report, 

‘‘Advice to EPA on Advancing the 

Science and Application of Ecological 

Risk Assessment in Environmental 

Decision-Making’’ (EPA–SAB–08–002). 

Background information about this 

advisory activity can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://yosemite.

activites/RAF%20Eco%20Action

%20Plan?OpenDocument. 

August 31, 2012 teleconference. The 

purpose of the August 31, 2012 

teleconference is for the chartered SAB 

to conduct a quality review of a draft 

SAB report entitled ‘‘SAB Review (7– 

26–12 Draft) of EPA’s Accounting 

Framework for Biogenic CO2 Emissions 

from Stationary Sources (September 

2011).’’ The EPA’s Office of Air and 

Radiation requested the SAB review the 

scientific and technical issues 

associated with an agency draft 

framework that assesses options for 

accounting for carbon dioxide emissions 

from biogenic sources. Background 

information about this advisory activity 

can be found on the SAB Web site at 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/

20biogenic%20CO2?OpenDocument. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and other materials in support of 

the teleconferences will be placed on 

the SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the 

teleconferences. 

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 relevant 

comments pertaining to the group 

providing advice, EPA’s charge 

questions and EPA review or 

background documents. Input from the 

public to the SAB will have the most 

impact if it consists of comments that 

provide specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for the SAB 

panel 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 for the relevant 

advisory committee directly. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting time to make an oral 

presentation at a public SAB 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes, with no more than one-half 

hour for all speakers. Those interested 

in being placed on the public speakers 

list for the August 28 and 31, 2012 

teleconferences should contact Dr. 

Nugent at the contact information 

provided above by August 21, 2012. 

Written Statements: Written statements 

for the August 28, 2012, teleconference 

should be supplied to the DFO via email 

to nugent.angela@epa.gov by August 21, 

2012. Written statements for the August 

31, 2012, teleconference should be 

supplied to the DFO via email to 

nugent.angela@epa.gov by August 24, 

2012. Written statements should be 

supplied in one of the following 

acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat 

PDF, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich 

Text files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/ 

2000/XP format). Submitters are asked 

to provide versions of each document 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Nugent, 

as appropriate at the contact 

information provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact her preferably at least 10 days 

prior to the teleconference, to give EPA 

as much time as possible to process 

your request. 

Dated: July 26, 2012.
