  • Start Preamble

    Correction

    In proposed rule document 2023–27758, appearing on pages 88315–88336 in the issue of Thursday, December 21, 2023, make the following correction:

    On page 88326, in the table titled “Table 7: Alternative 1: Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Expressed as Concentration (mg/L)”, the table is corrected to appear as set forth below:

    Table 7—Alternative 1: Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Expressed as Concentration

    [mg/L]

    SeasonWater temperature (°C)Magnitude (mg/L)DurationExceedance frequency
    Spawning and Larval Development (March 1–June 30)* 23.3 (14.7)* 5.6 (6.7)Daily Average10% (12 Days Cumulative).
    Juvenile Development (July 1–October 31)+  N/A5.4Daily Average10% (12 Days Cumulative).
    +  N/A6.1Daily Average50% (61 Days Cumulative).
    Overwintering (November 1–February 28/29)* 12.4 (5.6)* 7.0 (8.3)Daily Average10% (12 Days Cumulative).
    *  The 90th percentile of seasonal water temperature and corresponding criterion is used for the main estimate, while the average water temperature and corresponding criterion is shown in parentheses.
    +  Water temperature is not applicable during the Juvenile Development season because the criteria magnitudes are derived from the EPA's Atlantic Sturgeon cohort model, described in section IV.C.1 of this preamble.
