exclude Jones Inlet/Jones Bay from its 2014 303(d) list. EPA evaluated existing and readily available data and information and concluded that the applicable narrative water quality standard for nutrients is being exceeded in Jones Inlet/Jones Bay. Based on this evaluation, EPA has determined that Jones Inlet/Jones Bay is not fully attaining the water quality standards established by New York State and should be included on the State’s 303(d) list of impaired waters.

EPA is providing the public the opportunity to review its decision to add this water to New York’s 303(d) list, as required by 40 CFR 130.7(d)(2). EPA will consider public comments before transmitting its final listing decision to the State.

**DATES :**  Comments must be submitted to EPA on or before March 25, 2015.

**ADDRESSES :**  Comments on the proposed decision should be sent to Dana Flint, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 2, 290 Broadway, New York, NY 10007, email greenlee.dana@epa.gov, telephone (212)–637–3635. Oral comments will not be considered. Copies of EPA’s letter explaining the rationale for EPA’s decision concerning New York’s list can be obtained by calling or emailing Mrs. Flint at the address above. Underlying documents from the administrative record for these decisions are available for public inspection at the above address. Please contact Mrs. Flint to schedule an inspection.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Dana Flint at (212) 637–3635 or at greenlee.dana@epa.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that each state identify thosewaters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards. For those waters, states are required to establish TMDLs according to a priority ranking.

EPA’s Water Quality Planning and Management regulations include requirements related to the implementation of section 303(d) of the CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations require states to identify water quality limited waters still requiring TMDLs every two years. The lists of waters still needing TMDLs must also include priority rankings, identify the pollutants causing the impairment, and identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7).

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, New York submitted its listing decisions under Section 303(d)(2) to EPA in correspondence dated November 3, 2014, January 5, 2015 and January 7, 2015. On January 13, 2015, EPA partially approved New York’s submittal of the 303(d) list, and disapproved New York’s decision to exclude Jones Inlet/Jones Bay from the 2014 list. EPA is soliciting public comment on the addition of this water to the State’s list, as required by 40 CFR 130.7(d)(2).

For technical questions about individual alternative test method decisions, refer to the contact person identified in the individual approval documents.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. General Information
A. Does this notice apply to me?

This notice will be of interest to entities regulated under 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 60 and 63, state, local, and tribal agencies, and the EPA Regional Offices responsible for implementation and enforcement of regulations under 40 CFR parts 60 and

63. B. How can I get copies of this information?

You may access copies of the broadly applicable alternative test method approval documents from the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/ approalt.html

. II. Background

Broadly applicable alternative test method approval decisions made by the EPA in 2014 under the NSPS, 40 CFR part 60 and the NESHAP, 40 CFR part 63 are identified in this notice (see Table 1). Source owners and operators may voluntarily use these broadly applicable alternative test methods subject to their specific applicability. Use of these broadly applicable alternative test methods does not change the applicable emission standards.

As explained in a previous Federal Register notice published at 72 FR 4257 (January 30, 2007) and found on the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/ emc/approalt.html, the EPA Administrator has the authority to approve the use of alternative test methods to comply with requirements under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63. This authority is found in sections 60.8(b)(3), 61.13(h)(1)(ii), and 63.7(e)(2)(ii). A similar authority is granted in 40 CFR part 65 under section 65.158(a)(2). In the past, we have performed thorough technical reviews of numerous requests for alternatives and modifications to test methods and procedures. Based on these reviews, we have often found that these changes or alternatives would be equally valid and appropriate to apply to other sources within a particular class, category, or subcategory. Consequently, we have concluded that, where a method modification or an alternative method is clearly broadly applicable to a class, category, or subcategory of sources, it is both more equitable and efficient to approve its use for all appropriate sources and situations at the same time.

It is important to clarify that alternative methods are not mandatory but permissive. Sources are not required to employ such a method but may choose to do so in appropriate cases. Source owners or operators should review the specific broadly applicable alternative method approval decision on the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/ emc/approalt.html before electing to employ it. As per section 63.7(f)(5), by electing to use an alternative method for 40 CFR part 63 standards, the source owner or operator must continue to use the alternative method until approved otherwise.

The criteria for approval and procedures for submission and review of broadly applicable alternative test methods are outlined at 72 FR 4257 (January 30, 2007). We will continue to announce approvals for broadly applicable alternative test methods on the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/ emc/approalt.html and publish a notice annually that summarizes approvals for broadly applicable alternative test methods.

This notice comprises a summary of four such approval documents posted to our Technology Transfer Network from January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2014. The alternative method decision letter/memo number, the reference method affected, sources allowed to use this alternative, and the modification or alternative method allowed are summarized in Table 1 of this notice. Please refer to the complete copies of these approval documents available from the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html as Table 1 serves only as a brief summary of the broadly applicable alternative test methods.

This notice also acknowledges two broadly applicable test method approvals that we retracted in 2014. Broadly applicable alternative test method approvals referred to as ALT– 061 and ALT–087 issued on September 22, 2009, and July 27, 2011, respectively, were withdrawn. In the Federal Register notices dated February 22, 2010, and February 15, 2012, we announced the approvals of the use of single-point sampling at the centroid of the exhaust when sampling gaseous emissions and diluent gases from federally regulated engines. However, based on comments that we received (on the proposed rule titled, ‘‘Revisions to Test Methods and Testing Regulations,’’ published in the Federal Register on January 9, 2012) from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation in a letter dated March 9, 2012, we no longer believe that this alternative is appropriate for broad applicability. Therefore, we have withdrawn broadly applicable alternative approvals, ALT–061 and ALT–087. Please refer to the withdrawal memo on EPA’s Web site at http:// www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html for details regarding our decision to withdraw ALT–061 and ALT–087.

If you are aware of reasons why a particular alternative test method approval that we issued should not be broadly applicable, we request that you make us aware of the reasons in writing, and we will revisit the broad approval. Any objection to a broadly applicable alternative test method, as well as the resolution of that objection, will be announced on the EPA’s Web site at www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html and in the subsequent Federal Register notice. If we decide to retract a broadly applicable test method, we would continue to grant case-by-case approvals, as appropriate, and would (as states, local and tribal agencies and the EPA Regional Offices should) consider the need for an appropriate transitionperiod for users either to request caseby-case approval or to transition to an approved method.

Dated: February 8, 2015. Stephen D. Page, Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.
