Documents from the administrative record file for

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane Smith, Environmental Protection Specialist, Water Quality Protection Division, U.S. EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202–2733, (214) 665–2145. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 10, 2006, EPA Region 6 made a commitment to the EPA Headquarters Office of Water under EPA’s National Water Program Fiscal Year 2006 Guidance for the program activity measure (PAM) number WQ–12, to establish or approve a total of 188 TMDLs in fiscal year (FY) 2006. Under the PAM number WQ–12, EPA expected the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to

Segment

develop a total of 87 TMDLs in fiscal year (FY) 2006 and submit them for EPA’s approval. By the end of July 2006, ODEQ had submitted two final TMDLs for EPA’s approval and 30 draft TMDLs for EPA’s review and comments. EPA has approved the two final TMDLs submitted by ODEQ. However, a recent discussion between EPA Region 6 and ODEQ senior managers determined that although substantial progress has been made on the other TMDLs, the remainder of the TMDLs needed to meet the commitment could not be completed by the target date. Accordingly, EPA Region 6 has decided to conduct the public participation process for these thirty TMDLs and establish the final TMDLs. EPA Takes Final Agency Action on Thirty TMDLs By this notice EPA is taking final agency action on the following thirty TMDLs for certain waters located within Oklahoma’s Upper Canadian River and Turkey Creek Watersheds:

AGENCY:

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank, as a part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to comment on the proposed information collection as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The purpose of the survey is to fulfill a statutory mandate (The Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 635) which directs Ex-Im Bank to report annually to the U.S. Congress any action taken toward providing export credit programs that are competitive with those offered by official foreign export credit agencies. The Act further stipulates that the annual report on competitiveness should include the results of a survey of U.S. exporters and U.S. commercial lending institutions which provide export credit to determine their experience in meeting financial competition from other countries whose exporters compete with U.S. exporters. Accordingly, Ex-Im Bank is requesting that the proposed survey (EIB No. 00– 02) be sent to approximately 60 applicants of Ex-Im Bank’s mediumand long-term programs. The revised

VerDate Aug2005

survey is similar to the previous survey, as it asks bankers and exporters to evaluate the competitiveness of Ex-Im Bank’s programs vis-a`-vis foreign export credit agencies. However, it has been modified in order to account for newer policies and to capture enough information to provide a better analysis of our competitiveness. In addition, the survey will be available on Ex-Im Bank’s Web site, http://www.exim.gov, with recipients encouraged to respond online as well. Written comments should be received on or before December 11, 2006 to be assured of consideration.

DATES:

Direct all requests for additional information to Piper Starr, Export-Import Bank of the U.S., 811 Vermont Avenue, NW., Room 1279, Washington, DC 20571, (202) 565–3767.

ADDRESSES:

With respect to the proposed collection of information, Ex-Im Bank invites comments as to: • Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of Ex-Im Bank, including whether the information will have a practical use; • The accuracy of Ex-Im Bank’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden of collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Title & Form Number: 2006 Exporter & Banker Survey of Ex-Im Bank Competitiveness, EIB Form 00–02. OMB Number: 3048–0004. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Annual Number of Respondents: 60. Annual Burden Hours: 60. Frequency of Reporting or Use: Annual Survey.
