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.

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. epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr

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 CO 2 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.

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. Thomas H. Brennan, Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.
