Sec. 130.24  When must you provide your methodology to EPA?

    (a)(1) If this section is not effective by May 1, 2001, you must 
provide to EPA a description of the methodology used to develop your 
2002 list and a description of the data and information used to identify 
waters (including a description of the existing and readily available 
data and information used by the State, Territory, and authorized Tribe) 
by April 1, 2002. The provisions of Sec. 130.23(b) through (e) do not 
apply to this methodology.
    (2) If this section is effective on or before May 1, 2001, you must 
provide your final methodology for your 2002 list and a summary of 
public comments on your methodology by November 1, 2001. This 
methodology will apply to the list required in 2002.
    (b) You must provide to EPA the final methodology and a summary of 
public comments for your 2006 and subsequent lists submitted under 
Sec. 130.30(a) no later than two years before you submit your next list, 
beginning in the year 2004. For example, you provide to EPA the 
methodology for your 303(d) list for 2006 on or before April 1, 2004. 
When providing final methodologies to EPA, you need to provide only the 
parts of the previous methodology you are revising; however, prior to 
submitting your final methodology to EPA, the entire methodology must be 
available to the public.
    (c) EPA will review your final methodology and will provide you with 
comments within 60 days of receiving it.

your methodology in its review and approval or disapproval of your next 
list.
