Corrections

In the Federal Register of February 21, 2012, in FR Doc. 2012-3687, the following corrections are made:

On page 10191, first column, correct the last sentence of the third full paragraph to read as follows: “States and Tribes will have 60 days to make their water quality certification decisions.”

On page 10211, third column, correct the second sentence of the second full paragraph to read as follows: “Under paragraph (b), we estimate that NWP 21 will be used approximately 47 times per year, although more activities may qualify for NWP 21 authorization if project proponents do additional avoidance and minimization to reduce losses of waters of the United States to satisfy the acreage and linear foot limits.”

On page 10281, third column, correct the first sentence of Note 1 to read as follows: “Utility lines constructed to transfer the energy from the land-based renewable generation facility to a distribution system, regional grid, or other facility are generally considered to be linear projects and each separate and distant crossing of a waterbody is eligible for treatment as a separate single and complete linear project.”

On page 10282, second column, correct the first sentence of Note 1 to read as follows: “Utility lines constructed to transfer the energy from the land-based collection facility to a distribution system, regional grid, or other facility are generally considered to be linear projects and each separate and distant crossing of a waterbody is eligible for treatment as a separate single and complete linear project.”
