A Framework for Watershed-Based

Trading

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: EPA’s Assistant

Administrator for Water hereby gives

notice of the availability of a Draft

Framework for Watershed-Based

Trading (EPA 800–R–96–001). This

Framework is a companion to the Policy

Statement for Effluent Trading which

was issued in January 1996. The Policy

Statement and Framework are a result of

President Clinton’s ‘‘Reinventing

Environmental Regulation’’ (March,

1995), which listed effluent trading in

watersheds as one of the twenty-five

high priority action items. The

Framework has been developed to

encourage trading and assist in

evaluating and designing trading

programs. The framework provides a

background on trading and its benefits,

a series of conditions that are necessary

for trading, including those that assure

protection of water quality comparable

to the protection that would be provided

without trading. The framework also

includes a template of regulatory,

economic, data, technical, scientific,

institutional, administrative,

accountability and enforcement issues

that facilitate identification and

evaluation of trading opportunities.

Finally, the framework has worksheets/

checklists, for five types of trading

identified by EPA, to evaluate whether

potential trades meet threshold

conditions. The audience for the

framework includes local and national

community groups, members of the

regulated and nonregulated community

and governmental organizations. EPA is

asking for comments on the framework.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before September 9, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

addressed to Comment Clerk, Water

Docket MC–4101: Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20460. Commenters are

requested to submit an original and 3

copies of their written comments.

Commenters who want receipt of their

comments acknowledged should

include a self-addressed, stamped

envelope. EPA will also accept

comments electronically. Comments

should be addressed to the following

Internet address: owdocket@epamail.epa.gov. Electronic

comments must submitted on an ASCII

file avoiding the use of special

characters and any form of encryption.

EPA is experimenting with electronic

commenting, therefore commenters may

want to submit both electronic

comments and duplicate paper

comments.

FOR COPIES OF THE FRAMEWORK CONTACT:

Fax NCEPI at (513) 569–7186; you must

specify publication number and title.

Copies are also available on disk in WP
