waters as threatened or impaired for ocean acidification under the
303(d) program, EPA is using this opportunity to seek public comment on
the specific assessment, monitoring and other elements under CWA that
EPA should consider, as well as input on how EPA can take into account
other Federal ocean acidification programs and initiatives when
deciding how to approach ocean acidification under the 303(d) program.
