Special Local Regulation; Back River, Baltimore County, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary special local
regulation for certain waters of Back River. This action is necessary
to provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters, located in
Baltimore County, MD, during a high-speed power boat event, which will
either take place as scheduled (on July 15, 2023) or on an alternate
date (July 16, 2023), in case of inclement weather. This rule prohibits
persons and vessels from being in the regulated area unless authorized
by the Captain of the Port, Maryland-National Capital Region or the
Coast Guard Event Patrol Commander.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8 a.m. on July 15, 2023, to 5 p.m.
on July 16, 2023.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    Tiki Lee's Dock Bar of Sparrows Point, MD, notified the Coast Guard
that they will be conducting the 2023 Tiki Lee's Shootout on the River
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 15, 2023. The individually-timed power
boat speed runs event consists of approximately 40 participants
competing on a designated, marked linear course located on Back River
between Porter Point to the south and Stansbury Point to the north. The
event is being staged out of Tiki Lee's Dock Bar, 4309 Shore Road,
Sparrows Point, in Baltimore County, MD. In the event of inclement
weather on July 15,

2023, the event will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 16,
2023. Potential hazards from the high-speed power boat event include
collisions between participants operating within and adjacent to the
designated navigation channel and with vessels operating within that
channel or within approaches to local marinas and boat facilities and
waterfront residential communities. The COTP Maryland-National Capital
Region has determined that these potential hazards would be a safety
concern for anyone participating in this event and for other vessels
operating within specified waters of Back River. In response, on June
15, 2023, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) titled Special Local Regulation; Back River, Baltimore County,
MD (88 FR 39206). There, we stated why we issued the NPRM and we
invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this
event. During the comment period, which ended June 30, 2023, we
received no comments.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. As there are fewer than 30 days
remaining before the date of the event, it would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest to make the regulation effective 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective
date of this rule would delay the implementation of safety measures
necessary to respond to the potential safety hazards associated with
this marine event. These potential hazards include collisions between
participants operating within and adjacent to the designated navigation
channel and with vessels not affiliated with the event operating within
that channel and within approaches to local marinas, boat facilities,
and waterfront residential communities. Immediate action is needed to
protect participants, spectators, and other persons and vessels during
the high-speed power boat event on these navigable waters.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70041. The Captain of the Port Sector Maryland-National Capital Region
(COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with the high-
speed power boat event to be held on July 15, 2023 (or on a rain date
of July 16, 2023) will be a safety concern for anyone intending to
operate within certain waters of Back River in Baltimore County, MD, in
or near the event area.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published June
1, 2023. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM other than the addition of language
specifying the effective date of the rule and the deletion of an
extraneous definition of ``aerobatics box.''
    This rule establishes special local regulations effective from 8
a.m. on July 15 to 6 p.m. on July 16, 2023 and subject to enforcement
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on each of those days. The regulated area will
cover all navigable waters of Back River within an area bounded by a
line connecting the following points: from the shoreline at Lynch Point
at latitude 39[deg]14'46'' N, longitude 076[deg]26'23'' W, thence
northeast to Porter Point at latitude 39[deg]15'13'' N, longitude
076[deg]26'11'' W, thence north along the shoreline to Walnut Point at
latitude 39[deg]17'06'' N, longitude 076[deg]27'04'' W, thence
southwest to the shoreline at latitude 39[deg]16'41'' N, longitude
076[deg]27'31'' W, thence south along the shoreline to the point of
origin, located in Baltimore County, MD. The regulated area is
approximately 4,200 yards in length and 1,200 yards in width.
    This rule provides additional information about areas within the
regulated area and their definitions. These areas include ``Course
Area,'' ``Buffer Area,'' and ``Spectator Areas.''
    The duration of the special local regulations and size of the
regulated area are intended to ensure the safety of life on these
navigable waters before, during, and after the high-speed power boat
event, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 15, 2023, (with an
alternate date of July 16, 2023 in case of inclement weather). The COTP
and the Coast Guard Event PATCOM will have authority to forbid and
control the movement of all vessels and persons, including event
participants, in the regulated area. When hailed or signaled by an
official patrol, a vessel or person in the regulated area will be
required to immediately comply with the directions given by the COTP or
Event PATCOM. If a person or vessel fails to follow such directions,
the Coast Guard may expel them from the area, issue them a citation for
failure to comply, or both.
    Except for participants in the 2023 Tiki Lee's Shootout on the
River and vessels already at berth, a vessel or person will be required
to get permission from the COTP or Event PATCOM before entering the
regulated area. Vessel operators will be able to request permission to
enter and transit through the regulated area by contacting the Event
PATCOM on VHF-FM channel 16. Vessel traffic will be able to transit the
regulated area once the Event PATCOM deems it safe to do so. A person
or vessel neither registered with the event sponsor as a participant
nor assigned as an official patrol will be considered a spectator. An
official Patrol is any vessel assigned or approved by the Commander,
Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National Capital Region with a
commissioned, warrant, or petty officer on board and displaying a Coast
Guard ensign. Official Patrols enforcing this regulated area can be
contacted on VHF-FM channel 16 and channel 22A.
    If permission is granted by the COTP or Event PATCOM, a person or
vessel will be allowed to enter the regulated area or pass directly
through the regulated area as instructed. Vessels will be required to
operate at a safe speed that minimizes wake while within the regulated
area, and in a manner that would not endanger event participants or any
other craft. A spectator vessel must not loiter within the navigable
channel while within the regulated area. Official patrol vessels will
direct spectators to the designated spectator area. The Coast Guard
will publish a notice in the Fifth Coast Guard District Local Notice to
Mariners and issue a marine information broadcast on VHF-FM marine band
radio announcing specific event dates and times.
    The regulatory text appears at the end of this document.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size and
duration of the regulated area, which will impact a small, designated
area of Back River for

a total of 10 hours during which the area will be subject to
enforcement. This waterway mainly supports recreational vessel traffic,
which at its peak, occurs during the summer season. Although this
regulated area extends across the entire width of the waterway, the
rule allows vessels and persons to seek permission to enter the
regulated area, and vessel traffic will be able to transit the
regulated area as instructed by Event PATCOM. Such vessels must operate
at safe speed that minimizes wake and not loiter within the navigable
channel while within the regulated area. Moreover, the Coast Guard will
issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about
the status of the regulated area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and the
Coast Guard's Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule involves implementation of regulations within 33 CFR part 100
applicable to organized marine events on the navigable waters of the
United States that could negatively impact the safety of waterway users
and shoreside activities in the event area lasting for 10 total
enforcement hours. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. For instructions on locating the docket, see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the DesertXpress High-Speed Passenger Train Project

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), United States Department
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FRA is issuing this notice to advise the public that a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being published for the
DesertXpress High-Speed Passenger Train Project (DesertXpress project).
FRA is the Lead Agency for the environmental review process and has
prepared the Final EIS consistent with the provisions of Section
102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Counsel of Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500 et seq.), and FRA's
Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts (64 FR 28545, May 26,
1999). The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Surface Transportation
Board (STB), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the National
Park Service (NPS) coordinated with the FRA as Cooperating Agencies for
the DesertXpress project environmental review process.
    DesertXpress Enterprises Inc., the DesertXpress project proponent
or Applicant, proposes to construct and operate a fully grade-
separated, dedicated double-track, passenger-only railroad along an
approximately 200-mile corridor, from Victorville, California, to Las
Vegas, Nevada. The Preferred Alternative rail alignment would generally
be immediately adjacent to the Interstate 15 (I-15) freeway travel
lanes within the existing Interstate 15 (I-15) right-of-way (ROW). The
Preferred Alternative also includes passenger station and maintenance
facility sites in Victorville and greater Las Vegas.

DATES: Written comments on the Final EIS for the DesertXpress project
will be accepted until April 18, 2011. Written comments on the Final
EIS may be sent to: Ms. Wendy Messenger, Attn: DesertXpress EIS, Office
of Railroad Policy and Development, Federal Railroad Administration,
U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., MS-20,
Washington, DC 20590 or via e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Wendy Messenger, Environmental
Protection Specialist, Office of Railroad Policy and Development,
Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation,
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., MS-20, Washington, DC 20590 or via e-mail
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DesertXpress project would involve the
construction and operation of an interstate high-speed passenger train
system between Victorville, California and Las Vegas, Nevada, along an
approximately 200-mile corridor. The purpose of the DesertXpress
project is to provide reliable and safe passenger rail transportation
between southern California and Las Vegas using proven high-speed rail
technology that results in a convenient alternative to automobile or
air travel that also adds transportation capacity to the I-15 freeway
corridor. The need for the DesertXpress project stems from several
factors, including but not limited to high and increasing travel demand
on I-15--the only major roadway linking southern California to Las
Vegas having limited opportunities to increase capacity. Other factors
include constraints on the expansion of air travel from southern
California and an above-average automobile accident rate on the I-15
freeway.
    In March 2009, FRA, in coordination with the Cooperating Agencies,
published a Draft EIS and circulated the document for a 56-day public
and agency review and comment period. The Draft EIS analyzed a No
Action Alternative and various Action Alternatives for the construction
and operation of the DesertXpress high-speed passenger train. The
Action Alternatives included multiple options for rail alignments,
passenger stations, maintenance facilities, and locomotive
technologies. The Draft EIS was structured to allow the Lead and
Cooperating Agencies to compose a Preferred Alternative from the
various options. FRA convened three public hearings on the Draft EIS,
held in Las Vegas, Barstow, and Victorville on April 28, April 29, and
April 30, 2009, respectively.
    Following publication of the Draft EIS, the Applicant proposed
several modifications and additions to the Action Alternatives
presented in the Draft EIS, based upon substantive comments received
during public and agency review and to reduce or avoid significant
potential environmental impacts. The project modifications and
additions included a new Victorville passenger station site, a new rail
alignment through central Barstow within the I-15 freeway corridor, a
new rail alignment through the Clark Mountains, new sites for
maintenance facilities in unincorporated Clark County, and minor shifts
in the rail alignment to avoid or reduce potential environmental
impacts or improve operating characteristics.
    After evaluating the proposed project modifications and additions,
FRA determined, pursuant to 40 CFR 1502.9, that it was necessary to
prepare a Supplemental Draft EIS to analyze the potential environmental
impacts of the project modifications and additions. The FRA and the
Cooperating Agencies published the Supplemental Draft EIS in September
2010 and circulated the document for a 46-day public and agency review
and comment period. FRA convened two public hearings on the
Supplemental Draft EIS in the Las Vegas and Barstow areas on October 13
and October 14, 2010, respectively.
    The FRA and the Cooperating Agencies considered the entire record
and compared the potential environmental impacts of the action
alternatives as well as the no action alternative to select the
Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative rail alignment would
be almost entirely located within the existing I-15 corridor, with
tracks running alongside freeway travel lanes. The Preferred
Alternative also identifies station and maintenance facility sites and
selects Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) as the preferred locomotive
technology.
    In accordance with regulations implementing NEPA, the Final EIS
evaluates the environmental effects associated with the Preferred
Alternative compared to the other

Action Alternatives and the No Action Alternative and identifies
appropriate mitigation measure to minimize the potential environmental
impacts. The Final EIS also includes amendments to the Draft EIS and
Supplemental Draft EIS to both reflect updated information since
publication of the previous documents and to address certain comments
received during the respective public and agency comment periods (40
CFR 1502.9(b)).
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.10, the Final EIS will be circulated for a
30-day period commencing on the date the Environmental Protection
Agency's notice of availability is published in the Federal Register.
The Lead and Cooperating Agencies will each issue a Record of Decision
on the proposed action, pursuant to 40 CFR 1505.2 and 1506.10. Each
Record of Decision will explain each agency's decision on the proposed
action and explain factors considered in reaching the decision and will
describe appropriate mitigation measures to minimize potential
environmental impacts.
    Prior to issuing a Record of Decision on the proposed project, FRA
and the Cooperating Agencies will consider written comments on this
Final EIS provided such comments are received by May 2, 2011. Written
comments on this Final EIS should be sent to the Federal Railroad
Administration by mail addressed to: Attn: DesertXpress, Ms. Wendy
Messenger, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
SE., MS-20, Washington, DC 20590.
    Copies of the Final EIS are available online at FRA's Web site:
http://www.fra.dot.gov; they are also available for viewing at the
following locations near the planned rail system:
     Victorville City Library, 15011 Circle Drive, Victorville,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR.
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving,
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the
State, Tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option
of the State, Tribe or local government in place of procedures
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On February 22, 2011, the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) submitted an application titled ``e-Reporting System
Electronic Document Receiving System'' for revisions/modifications of
its EPA-authorized programs under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed FDEP's
request to revise/modify its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this
review, EPA determined that the application met the standards for
approval of authorized program revisions/modifications set out in 40
CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice
of EPA's decision to approve Florida's request to modify/revise its
following EPA-authorized programs to allow electronic reporting under
40 CFR parts 51, 60, 70, 141, 144, 146, 257-258, 262-265, 268, and 270-
271 is being published in the Federal Register:
    Part 52--Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
    Part 61--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants,
Subpart M--National Emission Standard for Asbestos;
    Part 70--State Operating Permit Programs;
    Part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation;
    Part 147--State, Tribal, and EPA-Administered Underground Injection
Control Programs; and
    Part 272--Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs.
    FDEP was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program listed above.
    Also, in today's notice, EPA is informing interested persons that
they may request a public hearing on EPA's action to approve the State
of Florida's request to revise its authorized public water system
program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f).
Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30 days of
publication of today's Federal Register notice. Such requests should
include the following information:
    (1) The name, address and telephone number of the individual,
organization or other entity requesting a hearing;
    (2) A brief statement of the requesting person's interest in EPA's
determination, a brief explanation as to why EPA should hold a hearing,
and any other information that the requesting person wants EPA to
consider when determining whether to grant the request;
    (3) The signature of the individual making the request, or, if the
request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the
signature of a responsible official of the organization or other
entity.
    In the event a hearing is requested and granted, EPA will provide
notice of the hearing in the Federal Register not less than 15 days
prior to the scheduled hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for hearing may be denied by EPA. Following such a public
hearing, EPA will review the record of the hearing and issue an order
either affirming today's determination or rescinding such
determination. If no timely request for a hearing is received and
granted, EPA's approval of the State of Florida's request to revise its
Part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation
program to allow electronic reporting will become effective 30 days
after today's notice is published, pursuant to CROMERR section
3.1000(f)(4).

Thirty-Sixth Update of the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Compliance Docket

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
maintained a Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket
(``Docket'') under section 120(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Section 120(c)
requires EPA to establish a Docket that contains certain information
reported to EPA by Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or
from which a reportable quantity of hazardous substances has been
released. As explained further below, the Docket is used to identify
Federal facilities that should be evaluated to determine if they pose a
threat to public health or welfare and the environment and to provide a
mechanism to make this information available to the public. This notice
identifies the Federal facilities not previously listed on the Docket
and also identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA since the last
update on April 29, 2019. In addition to the list of additions to the
Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions of the previous
Docket list and a section of Federal facilities that are to be deleted
from the Docket. Thus, the revisions in this update include zero
additions, three deletions, and zero corrections to the Docket since
the previous update. At the time of publication of this notice, the new
total number of Federal facilities listed on the Docket is 2,372.

DATES: This list is current as of October 10, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Electronic versions of the Docket and
more information on its implementation can be obtained at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/previous-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-updates by clicking on the link for Cleanups at Federal
Facilities or by contacting Benjamin Simes (Simes.Benjamin@epa.gov),

1.0 Introduction

    Section 120(c) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9620(c), as amended by the
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), requires
EPA to establish the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket.
The Docket contains information on Federal facilities that manage
hazardous waste and such information is submitted by Federal agencies
to EPA under sections 3005, 3010, and 3016 of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6925, 6930, and 6937.
Additionally, the Docket contains information on Federal facilities
with a reportable quantity of hazardous substances that has been
released and such information is submitted by Federal agencies to EPA
under Section 103 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9603. Specifically, RCRA section
3005 establishes a permitting system for certain hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities; RCRA section 3010
requires waste generators, transporters and TSD facilities to notify
EPA of their hazardous waste activities; and RCRA section 3016 requires
Federal agencies to submit biennially to EPA an inventory of their
Federal hazardous waste facilities. CERCLA section 103(a) requires the
owner or operator of a vessel or onshore or offshore facility to notify
the National Response Center (NRC) of any spill or other release of a
hazardous substance that equals or exceeds a reportable quantity (RQ),
as defined by CERCLA section 101. Additionally, CERCLA section 103(c)
requires facilities that have ``stored, treated, or disposed of''
hazardous wastes and where there is ``known, suspected, or likely
releases'' of hazardous substances to report their activities to EPA.
    CERCLA section 120(d) requires EPA to take steps to assure that a
Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed for those sites identified in
the Docket and that the evaluation and listing of sites with a PA be
completed within a reasonable time frame. The PA is designed to provide
information for EPA to consider when evaluating the site for potential
response action or inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL).
    The Docket serves three major purposes: (1) To identify all Federal
facilities that must be evaluated to determine whether they pose a
threat to human health and the environment sufficient to warrant
inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to compile and
maintain the information submitted to EPA on such facilities under the
provisions listed in section 120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a
mechanism to make the information available to the public. Previous
Docket updates are available at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/previous-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-updates.
    This notice provides some background information on the Docket.
Additional information on the Docket requirements and implementation
are found in the Docket Reference Manual, Federal Agency Hazardous
Waste Compliance Docket found at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/docket-reference-manual-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-interim-final or obtained by calling the Regional Docket Coordinators
listed below. This notice also provides changes to the list of sites
included on the Docket in three areas: (1) Additions, (2) Deletions,
and (3) Corrections. Specifically, additions are newly identified
Federal facilities that have been reported to EPA since the last update
and now are included on the Docket; the deletions section lists Federal
facilities that EPA is deleting from the Docket.\1\ The information
submitted to EPA on each Federal facility is maintained in the Docket
repository located in the EPA Regional office of the Region in which
the Federal facility is located; for a description of the information
required under those provisions, see 53 FR 4280 (February 12, 1988).
Each repository contains the documents submitted to EPA under the
reporting provisions and correspondence relevant to the reporting
provisions for each Federal facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Section 3.2 for the criteria for being deleted from the
Docket.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In prior updates, information was also provided regarding No
Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP) status changes. However,
information on NFRAP and NPL status is no longer being provided
separately in the Docket update as it is now available at: http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket
Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

3.0 Revisions of the Previous Docket

    This section includes a discussion of the additions, deletions, and
corrections, to the list of Docket facilities since the previous Docket
update.

3.1 Additions

    These Federal facilities are being added primarily because of new
information obtained by EPA (for example, recent reporting of a
facility pursuant to RCRA sections 3005, 3010, or 3016 or CERCLA
section 103). CERCLA section 120, as amended by the Defense
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies that EPA take steps to assure that
a Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed within a reasonable time
frame for those Federal facilities that are included on the Docket.
Among other things, the PA is designed to provide information for EPA
to consider when evaluating the site for potential response action or
listing on the NPL. This notice includes zero additions.

3.2 Deletions

    There are no statutory or regulatory provisions that address
deletion of a facility from the Docket. However, if a facility is
incorrectly included on the Docket, it may be deleted from the Docket.
The criteria EPA uses in deleting sites from the Docket include: A
facility for which there was an incorrect report submitted for
hazardous waste activity under RCRA (e.g., 40 CFR 262.44); a facility
that was not Federally-owned or operated at the time of the listing; a
facility included more than once (i.e., redundant listings); or when
multiple facilities are combined under one listing. (See Docket Codes
(Reasons for Deletion of Facilities) for a more refined list of the
criteria EPA uses for deleting sites from the Docket. Facilities being
deleted no longer will be subject to the requirements of CERCLA section
120(d). This notice includes three deletions.

3.3 Corrections

    Changes necessary to correct the previous Docket are identified by
both

EPA and Federal agencies. The corrections section may include changes
in addresses or spelling, and corrections of the recorded name and
ownership of a Federal facility. In addition, changes in the names of
Federal facilities may be made to establish consistency in the Docket
or between the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) and the
Docket. For the Federal facility for which a correction is entered, the
original entry is as it appeared in previous Docket updates. The
corrected update is shown directly below, for easy comparison. This
notice includes zero corrections.

4.0 Process for Compiling the Updated Docket

    In compiling the newly reported Federal facilities for the update
being published in this notice, EPA extracted the names, addresses, and
identification numbers of facilities from four EPA databases--the
WebEOC, the Biennial Inventory of Federal Agency Hazardous Waste
Activities, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information
System (RCRAInfo), and SEMS--that contain information about Federal
facilities submitted under the four provisions listed in CERCLA section
120(c).
    EPA assures the quality of the information on the Docket by
conducting extensive evaluation of the current Docket list and contacts
the other Federal Agency (OFA) with the information obtained from the
databases identified above to determine which Federal facilities were,
in fact, newly reported and qualified for inclusion on the update. EPA
is also striving to correct errors for Federal facilities that were
previously reported. For example, state-owned or privately-owned
facilities that are not operated by the Federal government may have
been included. Such problems are sometimes caused by procedures
historically used to report and track Federal facilities data.
Representatives of Federal agencies are asked to contact the EPA HQ
Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice if revisions of this update
information are necessary.

5.0 Facilities Not Included

    Certain categories of facilities may not be included on the Docket,
such as: (1) Federal facilities formerly owned by a Federal agency that
at the time of consideration was not Federally-owned or operated; (2)
Federal facilities that are small quantity generators (SQGs) that have
not, more than once per calendar year, generated more than 1,000 kg of
hazardous waste in any single month; (3) Federal facilities that are
very small quantity generators (VSQGs) that have never generated more
than 100 kg of hazardous waste in any month; (4) Federal facilities
that are solely hazardous waste transportation facilities, as reported
under RCRA section 3010; and (5) Federal facilities that have mixed
mine or mill site ownership.
    An EPA policy issued in June 2003 provided guidance for a site-by-
site evaluation as to whether ``mixed ownership'' mine or mill sites,
typically created as a result of activities conducted pursuant to the
General Mining Law of 1872 and never reported under section 103(a) of
CERCLA, should be included on the Docket. For purposes of that policy,
mixed ownership mine or mill sites are those located partially on
private land and partially on public land. This policy is found at
http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/policy-listing-mixed-ownership-mine-or-mill-sites-created-result-general-mining-law-1872. The policy of not
including these facilities may change; facilities now omitted may be
added at some point if EPA determines that they should be included.

6.0 Facility NPL Status Reporting, Including NFRAP Status

    EPA tracks the NPL status of Federal facilities listed on the
Docket. An updated list of the NPL status of all Docket facilities, as
well as their NFRAP status, is available at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address
provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
In prior updates, information regarding NFRAP status changes was
provided separately.

7.0 Information Contained on Docket Listing

    The information is provided in three tables. The first table is a
list of additional Federal facilities that are being added to the
Docket. The second table is a list of Federal facilities that are being
deleted from the Docket. The third table is for corrections.
    The Federal facilities listed in each table are organized by the
date reported. Under each heading is listed the name and address of the
facility, the Federal agency responsible for the facility, the
statutory provision(s) under which the facility was reported to EPA,
and a code.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each Federal facility listed in the update has been assigned
a code that indicates a specific reason for the addition or
deletion. The code precedes this list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The statutory provisions under which a Federal facility is reported
are listed in a column titled ``Reporting Mechanism.'' Applicable
mechanisms are listed for each Federal facility: For example, Sections
3005, 3010, 3016, 103(c), or Other. ``Other'' has been added as a
reporting mechanism to indicate those Federal facilities that otherwise
have been identified to have releases or threat of releases of
hazardous substances. The National Contingency Plan 40 CFR 300.405
addresses discovery or notification, outlines what constitutes
discovery of a hazardous substance release, and states that a release
may be discovered in several ways, including: (1) A report submitted in
accordance with section 103(a) of CERCLA, i.e., reportable quantities
codified at 40 CFR 302; (2) a report submitted to EPA in accordance
with section 103(c) of CERCLA; (3) investigation by government
authorities conducted in accordance with section 104(e) of CERCLA or
other statutory authority; (4) notification of a release by a Federal
or state permit holder when required by its permit; (5) inventory or
survey efforts or random or incidental observation reported by
government agencies or the public; (6) submission of a citizen petition
to EPA or the appropriate Federal facility requesting a preliminary
assessment, in accordance with section 105(d) of CERCLA; (7) a report
submitted in accordance with section 311(b)(5) of the Clean Water Act;
and (8) other sources. As a policy matter, EPA generally believes it is
appropriate for Federal facilities identified through the CERCLA
discovery and notification process to be included on the Docket.
    The complete list of Federal facilities that now make up the Docket
and the NPL and NFRAP status are available to interested parties and
can be obtained at http://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting
the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. As of the date of
this notice, the total number of Federal facilities that appear on the
Docket is 2,372.
