Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 6 / Monday, January 11, 2010 / Notices 1379 

States, Erie County, and Tribes that 

have previously been awarded BEACH 

Act grants must submit application 

packages to the appropriate EPA 

Regional Office by March 12, 2010. EPA 

will make an award after the Agency 

reviews the documentation and 

confirms that the program meets the 

applicable requirements. The Office of 

Management and Budget has authorized 

EPA to collect this information (BEACH 

Act Grant Information Collection 

Request, OMB control number 2040– 

0244). Please contact the appropriate 

EPA Regional Office for a complete 

application package. See Section VI for 

a list of EPA Regional Grant 

Coordinators or visit the EPA Beaches 

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

waterscience/beaches/contact.html on 

the Internet. 

What Should a Tribe’s Notice of Interest 

Contain? 

The Notice of Interest should include 

the Tribe’s name and the name and 

telephone number of a contact person. 

Are Quality Assurance and Quality 

Control (QA/QC) Required for 

Application? 

Yes. Three specific QA/QC 

requirements must be met to comply 

with EPA’s performance criteria for 

grants: 

(1) Applicants must submit 

documentation that describes the 

quality system implemented by the 

State, territory, Tribe, or local 

government. Documentation may be in 

the form of a Quality Management Plan 

or equivalent documentation. 

(2) Applicants must submit a quality 

assurance project plan (QAPP) or 

equivalent documentation. 

(3) Applicants are responsible for 

submitting documentation of the quality 

system and QAPP for review and 

approval by the EPA Quality Assurance 

Officer or his designee before they take 

primary or secondary environmental 

measurements. More information about 

the required QA/QC procedures is 

available in Chapter Four and Appendix 

H of National Beach Guidance and 

Required Performance Criteria for 

Grants (EPA–823–B–02–004). 

Are There Reporting Requirements? 

Recipients must submit annual 

performance reports and financial 

reports as required in 40 CFR 31.40 and 

31.41. The annual performance report 

explains changes to the beach 

monitoring and notification program 

during the grant year. It also describes 

how the grant funds were used to 

implement the program to meet the 

performance criteria listed in National 

Beach Guidance and Required 

Performance Criteria for Grants (EPA– 

823–B–02–004). The annual 

performance report required under 40 

CFR 31.40 is due no later than 90 days 

after the grant year ends. Recipients 

must also submit annual monitoring and 

notification reports required by the 

National Beach Guidance and Required 

Performance Criteria for Grants (EPA– 

823–B–02–004). Sections 2.2.3 and 4.3 

of the document contain the 

performance criterion requiring an 

annual monitoring report, and sections 

2.2.8 and 5.4 contain the performance 

criterion requiring an annual 

notification report. This document can 

be found at http://www.epa.gov/ 

waterscience/beaches/grants/. These 

reports, required to be submitted to EPA 

under CWA section 406(b)(3)(A) and the 

National Beach Guidance and Required 

Performance Criteria for Grants, include 

data collected as part of a monitoring 

and notification program. As a 

condition of award of an 

implementation grant, EPA requires that 

the monitoring report and the 

notification report for any beach season 

be submitted not later than January 31 

of the year following the beach season. 

(See Section II, Funding and Eligibility, 

above.) 

What Regulations and OMB Cost 

Circular Apply to the Award and 

Administration of These Grants? 

The regulations at 40 CFR Part 31 

govern the award and administration of 

grants to States, Tribes, local 

governments, and territories under CWA 

section 406(b). Allowable costs will be 

determined according to the cost 

principles outlined in 2 CFR Part 225.

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 faceto-face meetings between December 

2009 and September 2010 in addition to 

conference calls and/or video 

conferencing on an as needed basis. 

After the Working Group completes its 

charge, it will make recommendations 

to the full NDWAC. The full NDWAC 

will, in turn, make appropriate 

recommendations to the EPA. 

Working Group Charge: The charge 

for the CRWU Working Group is to 

evaluate the concept of ‘‘Climate Ready 

Water Utilities’’ and provide 

recommendations to the full NDWAC on 

the development of an effective program 

for drinking water and wastewater 

utilities, including recommendations to: 

(1) Define and develop a baseline 

understanding of how to use available 

information to develop climate change
