SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN COMMISSION


Extension of Comment Period--Proposed Low Flow Protection Policy

AGENCY: Susquehanna River Basin Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: At its regular meeting in Binghamton, New York on June 7, 
2012, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) extended the 
comment deadline for its proposed Low Flow Protection Policy to July 
16, 2012. The original comment deadline had been May 16, 2012. On March 
15, 2012, SRBC's commissioners approved the release of the proposed Low 
Flow Protection Policy for public review and comment. The proposed 
policy was developed over the past year--based on scientific advances 
in ecosystem flow protection--to improve low flow protection standards 
associated with approved water withdrawals. SRBC will use the final 
policy and supporting technical guidance when reviewing withdrawal 
applications to establish limits and conditions on approvals consistent 
with SRBC's regulatory standards (18 CFR Sec.  806.23).

DATES: The new deadline for the submission of comments is July 16, 
2012.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Mr. John Balay, Susquehanna River 
Basin Commission, 1721 N. Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102-2391, or 
electronically submitted through http://www.srbc.net/pubinfo/businessmeeting.htm.
