**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

To remain effective and continue fulfilling its mission, the EPA will need to adapt to already observed and projected changes. To that end, the Agency will continue to collaborate with partners at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels to develop the requisite information, tools and strategies. The Draft National Water Program 2012 Strategy: Response to Climate Change (Draft 2012 Strategy) addresses the challenges climate change poses and lays out a long term vision for the sustainable management of water resources for future generations in light of climate change. The Draft 2012 Strategy is intended to be a roadmap to guide future programmatic planning, and inform decision makers during the Agency’s annual planning process. It describes the array of actions that should be taken in the coming years to build a climate resilient national water
program.

The following questions are intended to solicit input and insight for particular areas of the Draft 2012 Strategy. In addition to these questions, reviewers are encouraged to consider their own questions pertinent to their interests.

• Which Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act program areas do you think are most vulnerable to climate change? Which strategic actions should be prioritized? Are there strategies that are missing or need revision?

• Are there important partnerships that have not been identified?

• Are there examples of methods for measuring and tracking progress and outcomes of adaptation activities? Is the approach described adequate?

• Are there research priorities that were not listed?

• Please supply any additional references addressing the economics of climate change adaptation (e.g., assessing the costs and benefits of climate change adaption projects).

• How can we improve our representation of tribal climate change and water interests? Are there examples of incorporating traditional ecological knowledge involving water resources into climate adaptation science and strategies?

Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments, remember
to:

• Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

• Follow directions—The agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

• Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.

• Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used. • If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced.

• Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and suggest alternatives.

• Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.

• Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

In a separate notice of data availability, EPA provided an opportunity to comment on EPA’s analyses of palm oil used as a feedstock to produce biodiesel and renewable diesel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. EPA’s analysis of palm oil-based biofuels is a supplement to the final rule published on March 26, 2010, which made changes to the RFS program (75 FR 14670). EPA’s analysis of the two types of biofuel shows that biodiesel and renewable diesel produced from palm oil have estimated lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions of 17% and 11% respectively for these biofuels compared to the statutory baseline petroleum-based diesel fuel used in the
