Ocean Dumping Regulations: Ocean Dumping Site Correction and
Reorganization
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is revising the
regulations containing the list of EPA designated ocean dumping sites.
This rule reorganizes the way in which the sites are printed in the
Code of Federal Regulations, eliminates listings of expired or
terminated sites, eliminates listings of sites which lie landward of
the baseline of the territorial sea, corrects technical errors in the
list of ocean dumping sites, and makes conforming technical changes to
the regulations. These changes are not substantive in nature, and are
needed to improve the clarity and accuracy of the list of ocean dumping
sites. In addition to these clarifying changes, this rule de-designates
the Cellar Dirt Site in the New York Bight and the Newburyport, MA,
dredged material site. Those sites are no longer being used and there
is no demonstrable need for their use in the future.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 29, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments on the final rule to the Ocean Dumping
Comment Clerk, Water Docket, MC 4101, Environmental Protection Agency,
401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title I of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act, 33
U.S.C. 1401 et seq., (hereinafter referred to as ``the Act'' or ``the
MPRSA'') regulates the ocean dumping and transportation of material for
purposes of ocean dumping. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
regulations implementing the Act are set forth at 40 CFR parts 220
through 229.
With few exceptions, the MPRSA prohibits the transportation of
material from the United States for the purpose of ocean dumping except
as may be authorized by a permit issued under the MPRSA. The Act
divides permitting responsibility between EPA and the US Army Corps of
Engineers (COE). Under section 102 of the Act, EPA is assigned
permitting authority for non-dredged material. For dredged material,
section 103 of the Act assigns permitting responsibility to the COE,
subject to EPA review and approval.
The Act also provides that EPA may designate recommended times and
sites for ocean dumping (MPRSA section 102(c)), and 103 of the Act
further provides that the COE is to use such EPA designated sites to
the extent feasible. Where use of an EPA designated site is not
feasible, the COE may select a disposal site as part of an MPRSA
permitting action. EPA's ocean dumping regulations (40 CFR 228.4(b))
provide that the designation of an ocean dumping site is accomplished
by promulgation in part 228 specifying the site.
Today's rule makes a number of changes with regard to the
organization and contents of the list of ocean dumping sites as
compared to the list published in the most recent (1992) Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). Proposal of these changes appeared on June
9, 1993, in 58 FR 32322. The preamble to that proposal explained the
basis for the changes and included a table (Table 1) detailing proposed
changes as to individual sites. The organizational changes are intended
to improve the clarity of the regulations and are not intended to make
any substantive changes.
Today's rule also de-designates the Cellar Dirt Site in the New
York Bight and the Newburyport, MA, dredged material site by omitting
them from this list of sites. While this is a substantive change to the
regulations, these sites are no longer being used and there is no
demonstrable need for them in the future.
Changes from Proposed Rule
Only one public comment was received in response to the proposed
rule, which corrected the second coordinate for the location of Sabine-
Neches, TX, Dredged Material Site 1. The proposed coordinates were
listed in the proposal as 29 deg.26'11''N. and 93 deg.41'11''N. The
correct coordinates are 29 deg.26'11''N., and 93 deg.41'14'' This
change has been made in today's final rule.
The Norfolk, VA, (58 FR 35884), the Massachusetts Bay, MA, (58 FR
42496), Fort Pierce, FL, (58 FR 46544), and San Francisco Deepwater, CA
(59 FR 41243) dredged material sites received final designation
subsequent to the June 1993 proposal. Because these sites are now
finally designated, they have been included in the list of approved
sites in today's final rule. Addition of these sites is not a
substantive change, but merely reflects separate rulemaking that has
taken place since the June 9, 1993 proposal.
Finally, subsequent to publication of the proposed rule, the
coordinates for the Matagorda, TX, dredged material site were modified
(58 FR 64498) to allow use of deeper draft dredging equipment. This
change also is reflected in today's final rule.
In addition, some corrections to site coordinates and one depth
measurement were made to confrom to previous Federal Register
rulemaking. These changes are as follows:
1. Cape Arundel, ME
Proposed: 43 deg.18'02'' N., 70 deg.27'09'' W. corrected to:
43 deg.17'45'' N., 70 deg.27'12'' W.
2. Absecon Inlet, NJ
Proposed: 39 deg.20'03'' N. corrected to: 39 deg.20'30'' N.
3. Georgetown Harbor, SC
Proposed 33 deg.1'18'' N., corrected to 33 deg.11'18'' N.
Proposed 33 deg.0'38'' N., corrected to 33 deg.10'38'' N.
4. Pascagoula, MS
Proposed depth 48 feet corrected to 46 feet.
5. Sabine-Neches, TX, Site 1
Proposed 29 deg.26'11'' N., 93 deg.41'11'' W., corrected to
20 deg.26'11'' N., 93 deg.41'14'' W.
Compliance With Other Laws and Executive Orders
1. Executive Order 12866
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant''
and therefore subject to OMB review and the requirements of the
Executive Order. The Order defines ``significant regulatory action'' as
one that is likely to lead to a rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more,
or adversely and materially effecting a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or
safety, or State, local or tribal governments or communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; and
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
It has been determined that this rule is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive Order 12866, and is
therefore not subject to OMB review.
2. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., is intended to
minimize the reporting and record keeping burden on the regulated
community as well as minimize the cost of Federal information
collection and dissemination. In general, the Act requires that
information requests and record keeping requirements affecting 10 or
more non-Federal respondents be approved by the Office of Management
and Budget. Since today's rule would not establish or modify any
information and record keeping requirements, it is not subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
3. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.,
EPA must prepare a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis for regulations
having a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
The RFA recognizes three kinds of small entities and defines them as
follows:
(1) Small governmental jurisdictions--any government of a district
with a population of less than 50,000.
(2) Small business--any business which is independently owned and
operated and not dominant in its field as defined by Small Business
Administration regulations under section 3 of the Small Business Act.
(3) Small organization--any not-for-profit enterprise that is
independently owned and operated and not dominant in its field.
The changes included in today's rule do not impose economic
burdens. Accordingly, EPA has determined that today's rule would not
have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities and
that a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis therefore is unnecessary.
