Agency Compliance Assistance

Activity Plan Inventory: Comment

Request

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is

seeking comment on its draft Annual

Compliance Assistance Activity Plan

Inventory (Plan Inventory) for fiscal year

2002. EPA’s fiscal year commences

October 1, 2001 and ends on September

catalogues compliance assistance

activities proposed throughout the

Agency for fiscal year 2002, and provide

a single source for stakeholders to

access the information. The Agency is

seeking stakeholder input on the

content, type and scope of projects

contained in the draft Plan Inventory.

EPA intends to use this feedback in the

fiscal year 2002 budget development

process.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before August 13, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons may

review the draft Annual Compliance

Assistance Activity Plan Inventory from

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Comments can be sent to Joanne

Berman, (202) 564–7064; e-mail at

berman.joanne@epa.gov; or by mail at

US Environmental Protection Agency,

Office of Compliance, Mail Code 2224A,

Washington, DC 20460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft

Plan Inventory reflects EPA’s

commitment to help entities comply

with regulatory requirements and

improve environmental performance

through compliance assistance.

Compliance assistance includes

activities, tools, or technical assistance

that provides clear and consistent

information for: (1) Helping the

regulated community understand and

meet its obligations under

environmental regulations; or (2)

compliance assistance providers to aid

the regulated community in complying

with environmental regulations.

The comprehensive approach of the

Plan Inventory allows interested

stakeholders to understand the Agency’s

current compliance assistance priorities

and activities and to suggest where tools

or additional emphasis are still needed.

The consolidated information will also

assist compliance assistance providers

in determining how to focus their

resources without duplicating EPA’s

efforts. Additionally, the regulated

community will be able to anticipate

what compliance assistance will be

available to them in the near future.

The draft fiscal year 2002 Plan

Inventory continues the coordinated,

intra-agency planning that marked the

first Compliance Assistance Activity

Plan, fiscal year 2001, published April

2001. Stakeholder comments played a

significant role in the development of

the fiscal year 2001 Plan. To better assist

the Agency, EPA would particularly

welcome comments addressing the

following issues:

1. What are the most important

environmental or regulatory problems

where the EPA should focus its

compliance assistance efforts?

2. What type of compliance assistance

would be most useful and effective at

addressing the environmental or

regulatory problems identified above?

What entities should EPA direct that

assistance toward?

3. What activities suggest

opportunities for collaboration between

EPA and other compliance assistance

providers? How might that collaboration

work?

4. Are any of EPA’s compliance

assistance activities unnecessary or

duplicative of other efforts? Which

ones? Why?

The Agency looks to stakeholder

comments to influence the directions in

which we focus our compliance

assistance resources. The Agency is

committed to using stakeholder

comments as we continuously improve

the way we do business.

Director, Office of Compliance.

Notice of Availability of National

Management Measures To Control

Nonpoint Source Pollution From

Forestry and Request for Comments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability and

request for comment.

SUMMARY: EPA has developed and is

requesting comment on draft technical

guidance for managing nonpoint source

pollution from forestry. This guidance is

intended to provide technical assistance

to State program managers and others

on the best available, economically

achievable means of reducing nonpoint

source pollution of surface and ground

water from forestry. The guidance

provides background information about

nonpoint source pollution from forestry,

including where it comes from and how

it enters the Nation’s waters. It discusses

the broad concepts of assessing and

addressing water quality problems on a

watershed level, and it presents up-todate technical information about how to

reduce nonpoint source pollution from

forestry.

Reviewers should note that the draft

technical guidance is entirely consistent

with the Guidance Specifying

Management Measures for Sources of

Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Water

(EPA 840–B–92–002), which EPA

published in January 1993 under the

authority of section 6217(g) of the

Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization

Amendments of 1990 (CZARA). The

draft document does not supplant or

replace the requirements of the 1993

document. It enhances the technical

information contained in the 1993
