recommended aquatic life water quality 

criteria provide technical information 

for states and authorized tribes to 

consider when adopting water quality 

standards under the Clean Water Act to 

protect aquatic life. 

EPA is reopening the public comment 

period for the Draft Aquatic Life 

Ambient Water Quality Criterion for 

Selenium—Freshwater 2015 (EPA–822– 

P–15–001). The original 60-day 

comment period deadline was 

September 25, 2015. On September 24, 

2015, EPA announced in the Federal 

Register a 15-day extension to October 

10, 2015 (80 FR 57605). This action 

reopens the comment period, in 

response to stakeholder request for 

additional time to consider material that 

was added to the docket on October 6, 

2015. Written scientific views must be 

received by October 30, 2015. 

Following closure of the public 

comment period, EPA will consider the 

public comments and revise the 

document as necessary. EPA will then 

publish a Federal Register notice 

announcing the availability of the final 

updated selenium criterion. 

Dated: October 14, 2015.
