III. Approach Used To Develop

Guidance

The draft national management

measures guidance is based in large part

on the 1993 coastal guidance. The 1993

coastal guidance was developed using a

workgroup approach to draw upon

technical expertise within other Federal

agencies as well as State water quality

and coastal zone management agencies.

The 1993 text has been expanded to

include more background information

on standard agricultural practices (e.g.,

why farmers irrigate, history of

pesticides) and to address emerging

issues in agriculture (e.g., precision

farming). The draft guidance also

incorporates examples and data from

the inland regions of the United States

(e.g., grazing in Colorado) in addition to

improving the coverage of unique

coastal environments (e.g., Hawaii). The

document also updates information on

technologies and the costs of

management measures where new data

has become available since the

publication of the coastal guidance.

Only one of the management

measures from the 1993 document has

been altered in substance: the

management measure for animal feeding

operations. The coastal guidance

contained a management measure

whose implementation involved storing

facility wastewater and runoff from

confined animal facilities for all storms

up to and including a 25-year, 24-hour

storm and the management of stored

runoff and accumulated solids through

an appropriate waste utilization system

for operations of more than 300 animal

units. The management measure in the

1993 coastal guidance does not involve

the implementation of manure storage

structures or areas, only the control of

runoff from such areas. The draft

guidance recommends implementation

of adequate manure storage in addition

to the management of runoff, diversion

of clean water, application of manure in

accordance with a nutrient management

plan, and protection of land receiving

wastes through the use of other

management measures (i.e., grazing,

irrigation water, erosion control), as

appropriate. Recent concern over the

management of wastes from animal

feeding operations, changes in standard

practice within the livestock industry,

the enactment and promulgation of

many new State laws and regulations

throughout the country, and the recent

publication of the joint U.S. Department

of Agriculture/U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency Unified National

Strategy for Animal Feeding Operations

(March 1999) prompted the alterations

to the management measure for animal

feeding operations described above.

IV. Request for Comments

EPA is soliciting comments on the

draft guidance on management

measures to control agricultural sources

of nonpoint pollution. The Agency is

soliciting additional information and

supporting data on the measures

specified in this guidance and on

additional measures that may be as

effective or more effective in controlling

nonpoint source pollution from

agriculture.

of commencement to manufacture those

chemicals. This status report, which

covers the period from August 28, 2000

to September 8, 2000, consists of the

PMNs and TMEs, both pending or

expired, and the notices of

commencement to manufacture a new

chemical that the Agency has received

under TSCA section 5 during this time

period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure

proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative

that you identify docket control number

OPPTS–51953 and the specific PMN

number in the subject line on the first

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information

Collection(s) Being Submitted to OMB

for Review and Approval

October 3, 2000.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications

Commission, as part of its continuing

effort to reduce paperwork burden

invites the general public and other

Federal agencies to take this

opportunity to comment on the

following information collection, as

required by the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An

agency may not conduct or sponsor a

collection of information unless it

displays a currently valid control

number. No person shall be subject to

any penalty for failing to comply with

a collection of information subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that

does not display a valid control number.

Comments are requested concerning (a)

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

Commission, including whether the

information shall have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

information collected; and (d) ways to

minimize the burden of the collection of
