SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
On
September
12,
2002
(67
FR
57871),
EPA
proposed
effluent
limitations
guidelines
and
standards
for
the
CAAP
Category
under
authority
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
(33
U.
S.
C.
1251
et
seq.).
The
proposed
regulations
would
apply
to
discharges
from
certain
facilities
in
the
CAAP
Category
that
grow,
contain
or
produce
aquatic
animals
at
amounts
above
100,000
pounds
for
three
subcategories:
flow­
through,
recirculating
and
net
pen
systems.
EPA
did
not
propose
to
amend
the
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
permitting
regulations
that
define
the
facilities
subject
to
permits.
The
proposed
effluent
guidelines
and
standards
would
apply
to
many,
but
not
all
CAAP
facilities.
The
public
meetings
will
include
a
discussion
of
the
scope
of
the
regulation
(including
subcategorization),
a
summary
of
industry
information,
technology­
based
regulatory
options,
and
general
CAAP
industry
issues.
Because
EPA
did
not
propose
pretreatment
standards
for
CAAP
facilities,
meeting
agendas
do
not
include
pretreatment.
Although
EPA
will
not
record
and
transcribe
these
meetings,
EPA
will
prepare
meeting
summaries
and
add
them
to
the
rulemaking
record.
If
you
need
special
accommodations
at
these
meetings,
such
as
wheelchair
access
or
special
audio­
visual
needs,
you
should
contact
the
following

least

the
meeting
so

EPA
can
