cleared federal and contractor personnel 

and other government staff members on 

a need to know basis. CBITS was 

decommissioned on December 31, 2013. 

The system has since been replaced by 

the Confidential Information System 

(CIS) that processes, tracks and stores 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

confidential information. CIS does not 

contain or store any personally 

identifiable information (PII).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/

Document 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is working with its 

regional offices, states, tribes, and other 

organizations to establish regional 

monitoring networks (RMNs) at which 

biological, thermal, and hydrologic data 

will be collected from freshwater 

wadeable streams to quantify and 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 229 / Friday, November 28, 2014 / Notices 70867 

monitor changes in baseline conditions, 

including climate change effects. RMNs 

have been established in the Northeast, 

Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast, and efforts 

are expanding into other regions. The 

need for RMNs stems from the lack of 

long-term, contemporaneous biological, 

thermal, and hydrologic data, 

particularly at minimally disturbed 

sites. Data collected at RMNs will be 

used to detect temporal trends; 

investigate relationships between 

biological, thermal, and hydrologic data; 

explore ecosystem responses and 

recovery from extreme weather events; 

test hypotheses and predictive models 

related to climate change; and quantify 

natural variability. RMN surveys build 

on existing bioassessment efforts, with 

the goal of collecting comparable data 

that can be pooled efficiently at a 

regional level. This document describes 

the development of the current RMNs 

for small, freshwater wadeable streams. 

It contains information on selection of 

candidate sites, expectations for data 

collection, the rationale for collecting 

these data, and provides examples of 

how the RMN data will be used and 

analyzed.
