    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.
