Please note that in accordance with 5 

U.S.C. 553(a)(2), EPA is not undertaking 

notice and comment rulemaking and 

has not established a docket to receive 

public comments on the guidelines. 

Rather, the Agency as a matter of policy 

is soliciting the views of interested 

parties on the draft FY 2011 

Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund and 

Cleanup Guidelines. Please note that 

these draft guidelines are subject to 

change. Organizations interested in 

applying for Brownfields funding must 

follow the instructions contained in the 

final guidelines that EPA publishes on 

http://www.grants.gov, rather than these 

draft guidelines. 

There are three types of grants that 

applicants may apply for under these 

guidelines: 

1. Brownfields Assessment Grants— 

which provide funds to inventory, 

characterize, assess, and conduct areawide planning, cleanup and 

redevelopment planning and 

community involvement related to 

brownfield sites. 

2. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund 

Grants—which provide funding for a 

grant recipient to capitalize a revolving 

loan fund and to provide subgrants to 

carry out cleanup activities at 

brownfield sites. 

3. Brownfields Cleanup Grants— 

which provide funds to carry out 

cleanup activities at a specific 

brownfield site owned by the applicant. 

(The Catalogue of Federal Domestic 

Assistance entry for Brownfields Grants is 

66.818.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About CADDIS 

Over a thousand water bodies in the 

United States are listed by states as 

biologically impaired. For many of these 

sites, the cause of impairment is 

reported as ‘‘unknown.’’ Before 

appropriate management actions can be 

formulated for impaired water bodies, 

the causes of biological impairment 

(e.g., excess fine sediments, nutrients, or 

toxics) must be identified. Effective 

causal analyses require knowledge of 

the mechanisms, symptoms, and 

stressor-response relationships for 

various stressors, as well as the ability 

to use that knowledge to draw 

appropriate, defensible conclusions. To 

aid in these causal analyses, NCEA 

developed CADDIS, which is a webbased decision support system that will 

help regional, state, and tribal 

investigators find, access, organize, and 

share information useful for causal 

evaluations in aquatic systems. CADDIS 

is based on EPA’s Stressor Identification 

process, which is a formal method for 

identifying causes of impairments in 

aquatic environments. Features include 

a step-by-step guide to conducting 

causal analysis; examples and 

applications; a library of conceptual 

models; and an online application for 

collaborating on conceptual diagrams 

and using them to update and access a 

database of supporting literature, 

information on basic and advanced data 

analyses, downloadable software tools, 

and links to outside information 

sources.

climate ready. In this meeting, the 

Working Group will focus on tools, 

training, and resources needed to 

support water utilities, ways to integrate 

CRWU efforts with existing programs, 

and mechanisms to facilitate the

Background: The Agency’s National 

Water Program Strategy: Response to 

Climate Change (2008) identified the 

need to provide drinking water and 

wastewater utilities with easy-to-use 

resources to assess the risk associated 

with climate change and to identify 

potential adaptation strategies. The 

NDWAC, established under the Safe 

Drinking Water Act, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 300f et seq.), provides practical 

and independent advice, consultation 

and recommendations to the Agency on 

the activities, functions and policies 

related to the implementation of the 

Safe Drinking Water Act. On May 28, 

2009, the NDWAC voted on and 

approved the formation of the CRWU 

Working Group. EPA anticipates that 

the Working Group will have five faceVerDate Mar<15>2010 16:17 Jun 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\22JNN1.SGM 22JNN1
