Urea: Revocation of Tolerance Exemptions AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Direct Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is amending 40 CFR part 180 subpart D to revoke four exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for urea because these tolerance exemptions are no longer necessary. The Agency is acting on its own initiative. This direct final rule is being published today with a companion final rule titled `` Urea: Exemption From The Requirement of A Tolerance.'' DATES: This final rule is effective on March 26, 2003 without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment within 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information You may be affected by this action if you are an agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer. Potentially affected categories and entities may include, but are not limited to:   Crop production ( NAICS code 111)   Animal production ( NAICS code 112)   Food manufacturing ( NAICS code 311)   Pesticide manufacturing ( NAICS code 32532) This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be affected. The North American Industrial Classification System ( NAICS) codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining whether this action might apply to certain entities. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Get Copies Of This Document and Other Related Information?

1. Docket. EPA has established an official public docket for this action under docket identification ( ID) number OPP   2002   0276. The official public docket consists of the documents specifically referenced in this action, any public comments received, and other information related to this action. Although a part of the official docket, the public docket does not include Confidential Business Information ( CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. The official public docket is the collection of materials that is available for public viewing at the Public Information and Records Integrity Branch ( PIRIB), Rm. 119, Crystal Mall # 2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Arlington, VA. This docket facility is open from 8: 30 a. m. to 4 p. m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The docket telephone number is ( 703) 305   5805. 2. Electronic access. You may access this Federal Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the `` Federal Register'' listings at http:// www. epa. gov/ fedrgstr/ A frequently updated electronic version of 40 CFR part 180 is available at http:// www. access. gpo. gov/ nara/ cfr/ cfrhtml_ 00/ Title_ 40/ 40cfr180_ 00. html, a beta site currently under development.

Once in the system, select `` search,'' then key in the appropriate docket ID number.

II. Authority A. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

This direct final rule is issued pursuant to section 408( e) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Proctection Act ( FQPA) ( 21 U. S. C. 346a( e)). Section 408 of FFDCA authorizes the establishment of tolerances, exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance, modifications in tolerances, and revocation of tolerances for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities and processed foods. Without a tolerance or tolerance exemption, food containing pesticide residues is considered to be unsafe and therefore, `` adulterated'' under section 402( a) of the FFDCA. If food containing VerDate Dec< 13> 2002 14: 36 Dec 24, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 26DER1. SGM 26DER1 78714 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 248 / Thursday, December 26, 2002 / Rules and Regulations pesticide residues is found to be adulterated, the food may not be distributed in interstate commerce ( 21 U. S. C. 331( a) and 342 ( a)).

B. Why is EPA Issuing this as a Direct Final Rule?

EPA is issuing this action as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency believes that this action is not controversial and is not likely to result in any adverse comments. This action removes four exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for the pesticide chemical, urea. These tolerance exemptions are not necessary.

III. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

In a companion final rule published in today's Federal Register, the Agency discussed the reasons and rationale for establishing a tolerance exemption for urea in 40 CFR 180.950. Given the establishment of this unlimited tolerance exemption, the tolerance exemptions for urea in 40 CFR 180.1001 ( c), ( d), and ( e) and 180.1117 are no longer needed. Therefore, the Agency is removing these exemptions. No uses are lost through the removal of these tolerance exemptions. All uses are covered under the tolerance exemption established today in 40 CFR 180.950.

B. Which Tolerance Exemptions are Being Removed?

1. In 40 CFR 180.1001 ( c) and ( e), there are two exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for urea. These exemptions are restricted to use as a stabilizer and inhibitor. 2. There is an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for urea in 40 CFR 180.1001 ( d). This exemption is for its use as an adjuvant/ intensifer for herbicides. 3. Another exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is listed in 40 CFR 180.1117. This tolerance exemption was established for residues of urea when used as a frost protectant in or on the following raw agricultural commodities when used before harvest in the production of: Alfalfa, almonds, apples, apricots, artichokes, asparagus, avocados, beans, bell pepppers, blackberries, blueberries, broccoli, brussels sprouts, boysenberries, craneberries, canola, cantaloupes, carrots, cauliflower, casaba, celery, cherries, chili pepers, chinese cabbage ( bok choy, napa), cooking peppers, corn, cotton, crenshaw, cucumbers, figs, grapefruit, grapes, honeydew melon, hops, kiwifruit, kohlrabi, lemons, lentils, lettuce, limes, macadamia nuts, musk melon, nectarines, olives, onions, oranges, peaches, pears, peanuts, peas, persian melon, pistachios, plums, potatoes, pumpkin, prunes, radish, raspberries, rice, safflower, sorghum, spinach, spinach ( New Zealand), squash ( winter and summer), strawberries, sugar beets, sunflower, sweet pepper, table beets, tangerines, tomatoes, walnuts, watermelon, and zucchini.

IV. Statute and Executive Order Reviews Under Executive Order 12866, entitled Planning and Review ( 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), it has been determined that this direct final rule is not a `` significant regulatory action'' under section 3( f) of the Executive Order, because EPA is removing four tolerance exemptions that are no longer necessary given the publication of the companion final rule that establishes a broader tolerance exemption that will cover these four tolerance exemptions. This direct final rule is not expected to have any adverse impact and does not otherwise impose any new requirements. Since it is not significant under Executive Order 12866, it is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), or Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use ( 66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This direct final rule directly regulates food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, but does not affect States, local or Tribal governments directly. This action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of FFDCA section 408( n)( 4). This action will not have substantial direct effects on State or tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal government and States or Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and States or Indian tribes. As a result, this action does not require any action under Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism ( 64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), or under Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments ( 65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000). Nor does it impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ( UMRA) ( Public Law 104   4). Nor does it require special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations ( 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); or Executive Order 12630, entitled Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights ( 53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988). This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( NTTAA), Public Law 104   113, section 12( d) ( 15 U. S. C. 272 note). Under section 605( b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act ( RFA) ( 5 U. S. C. 601 et seq.), the Agency hereby certifies that these revocations will not have significant negative economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The rationale supporting this conclusion is as follows. The rationale here is that we are replacing these exemptions with a broader one.

V. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General The Congressional Review Act, 5 U. S. C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U. S. Senate, the U. S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a `` major rule'' as defined by 5 U. S. C. 804( 2).

II. Background and Statutory Findings In the Federal Register of April 7, 2000 ( 65 FR 18324) ( FRL   6499   7), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA), 21 U. S. C. 346a, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA) ( Public Law 104   170), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance petition ( PP 9E6028) by Ecolab, Inc., 370 N. Wabasha Street, St. Paul, MN 55102. This notice included a summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner Ecolab. There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.1001 be amended by establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of urea in or on raw agricultural commodities, in processed commodities, and in or on meat and meat by products of cattle, sheep, hogs, goats, horses, poultry, milk, dairy products, eggs, seafood and shellfish, and fruits and vegetables when such residues result from the use of urea as a component of a food contact surface sanitizing solution for use in food handling establishments. Section 408( b)( 2)( A)( i) of the FFDCA allows EPA to establish an exemption from the requirement for a tolerance ( the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the exemption from tolerance is `` safe.'' Section 408( b)( 2)( A)( ii) defines `` safe'' to mean that `` there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable VerDate Dec< 13> 2002 17: 05 Dec 24, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\ FR\ FM\ 26DER1.

    (e) Within 60 days after the date of completing each performance
test required by this subpart, you must submit the results of the
performance test following the procedures specified in paragraphs
(e)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) Data collected using test methods supported by the EPA's
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the EPA's ERT website
(https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/electronic-reporting-tool-ert) at the time of the test. Submit the results of the
performance test to the EPA via the CEDRI, which can be accessed
through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The data must be
submitted in a file format generated through the use of the EPA's ERT.
Alternatively, you may submit an electronic file consistent with the
XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT website.
    (2) Data collected using test methods that are not supported by the
EPA's ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT website at the time of the test.
The results of the performance test must be included as an attachment
in the ERT or an alternate electronic file consistent with the XML
schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit the ERT generated
package or alternative file to the EPA via CEDRI.
    (3) Confidential business information (CBI). If you claim some of
the information submitted under paragraph (e)(1) of this section is
CBI, you must submit a complete file, including information claimed to
be CBI, to the EPA. The file must be generated through the use of the
EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file consistent with the XML
schema listed on the EPA's ERT website. Submit the file on a compact
disc, flash drive, or other commonly used electronic storage medium and
clearly mark the medium as CBI. Mail the electronic medium to U.S. EPA/
OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group Leader, Measurement Policy
Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same file
with the CBI omitted must be submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as
described in paragraph (e)(1) of this section.
    (f) If you are required to electronically submit a report through
CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim of EPA system outage for
failure to timely comply with the reporting requirement. To assert a
claim of EPA system outage, you must meet the requirements outlined in
paragraphs (f)(1) through (7) of this section.
    (1) You must have been or will be precluded from accessing CEDRI
and submitting a required report within the time prescribed due to an
outage of either the EPA's CEDRI or CDX systems.
    (2) The outage must have occurred within the period of time
beginning five business days prior to the date that the submission is
due.
    (3) The outage may be planned or unplanned.
    (4) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a
delay in reporting.
    (5) You must provide to the Administrator a written description
identifying:
    (i) The date(s) and time(s) when CDX or CEDRI was accessed and the
system was unavailable;
    (ii) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the
regulatory deadline to EPA system outage;
    (iii) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in
reporting; and
    (iv) The date by which you propose to report, or if you have
already met the reporting requirement at the time of the notification,
the date you reported.
    (6) The decision to accept the claim of EPA system outage and allow
an extension to the reporting deadline is solely within the discretion
of the Administrator.
    (7) In any circumstance, the report must be submitted
electronically as soon as possible after the outage is resolved.
    (g) Claims of force majeure. If you are required to electronically
submit a report through CEDRI in the EPA's CDX, you may assert a claim
of force majeure for failure to timely comply with the reporting
requirement. To assert a claim of force majeure, you must meet the
requirements outlined in paragraphs (g)(1) through (5) of this section.
    (1) You may submit a claim if a force majeure event is about to
occur, occurs, or has occurred or there are lingering effects from such
an event within the period of time beginning five business days prior
to the date the submission is due. For the purposes of this section, a
force majeure event is defined as an event that will be or has been
caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility,
its contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that
prevents you from complying with the requirement to submit a report
electronically within the time period prescribed. Examples of such
events are acts of nature (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods),
acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond
the control of the affected facility (e.g., large scale power outage).
    (2) You must submit notification to the Administrator in writing as
soon as possible following the date you first knew, or through due
diligence should have known, that the event may cause or has caused a
delay in reporting.
    (3) You must provide to the Administrator:
    (i) A written description of the force majeure event;
    (ii) A rationale for attributing the delay in reporting beyond the
regulatory deadline to the force majeure event;
    (iii) Measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay in
reporting; and
    (iv) The date by which you propose to report, or if you have
already met the reporting requirement at the time of the notification,
the date you reported.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP14-532-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization

    Take notice that on August 8, 2014, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
L.L.C. (Tennessee), 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed
in Docket No. CP14-532-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections
157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (NGA) as amended, requesting authorization to abandon an
inactive injection and withdrawal well (Well 4789) and related lateral
pipeline and appurtenances in the Hebron Storage Field in Potter
County, Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The
filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Specifically, Tennessee proposes to plug and abandon Well 4789 and
abandon by removal the related well head, a meter run, approximately
350 feet of 6-inch diameter lateral pipeline and riser. Tennessee
states that it has made numerous attempts to clean and repair Well
4789, which have proved unsuccessful. Tennessee asserts that Well 4789
is inactive and, due to its mechanical condition, cannot be utilized as
an injection and withdrawal well. Tennessee avers that the proposed
abandonment of Well 4789 will not affect either the capacity or
deliverability of the Hebron Storage Field and has not been used to
provide service to any customer for more than 12 months. Tennessee
estimates the cost of the proposed project to be $545,860.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9944-20-Region 2]

New York State Prohibition of Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Notice
of Proposed Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed determination.

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

SUMMARY: By petition dated September 20, 2012 and submitted pursuant to
33 CFR 1322(f)(3) and 40 CFR 140.4(a), the State of New York certified
that the protection and enhancement of the waters of the New York State
portion of the St. Lawrence River and the numerous navigable
tributaries, harbors and embayments thereof, requires greater
environmental protection than the applicable Federal standards provide,
and petitioned the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
Region 2, for a determination that adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are
reasonably available for those waters, so that the State may completely
prohibit the discharge from all vessels of any sewage, whether treated
or not, into such waters. On April 22, 2013, the EPA requested
additional information regarding the population of commercial vessels
using the subject waters and the availability of options for sewage
removal from those vessels. Upon consideration of the petition, and
subsequently obtained information regarding commercial vessels that has
been made part of the administrative record, the EPA proposes to make
the requested determination and hereby invites the public to comment.

DATES: Comments relevant to this proposed determination are due by
April 25, 2016.
    Petition: To receive a copy of the petition and/or any other part
of the administrative record, please contact Moses Chang at 212 637
3867 or email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:
     Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Include ``Comments on Proposed
Determination on New York State portion of St. Lawrence River NDZ
Petition'' in the subject line of the message.
     Mail and Hand Delivery/Courier: Moses Chang, U.S. EPA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Proposed No Discharge Zone: The proposed
Vessel Waste No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for the New York State portion of
the St. Lawrence River includes the waters of the River within the New
York State boundary, stretching from its southwestern boundary at
Tibbetts Point, where the river meets Lake Ontario, to its northeastern
boundary at the St. Lawrence-Franklin County Line, near Akwesasne, New
York.\1\ The proposed NDZ encompasses approximately 112 miles of river
and shoreline, and the numerous navigable tributaries, harbors, and
embayments of the River--including, but not limited to, the New York
State portions of the Raquette River, the Grass River, Brandy Brook,
Sucker Brook, Whitehouse Bay, Oswegatchie River, Morristown Bay, Blind
Bay, Chippewa Creek, Chippewa Bay, Crooked Creek, Goose Bay, Lake of
the Isles, Eel Bay, South Bay, Carnegie Bay, Greens Creek, Otter Creek,
Swan Bay, Spicer Bay, Carrier Bay, French Creek Bay, Sawmill Bay, Sand
Bay, Dodge Bay, Millen Bay, Peos Bay and Grass Bay--and other formally
designated habitats and waterways of local, state and national
significance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ New York State's petition proposes to establish a NDZ that
extends, in the northeast, to the U.S.-Canadian border. However, New
York State's jurisdiction over waters of the St. Lawrence River
ends, in the northeast, at the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation border
at the St. Lawrence-Franklin county line. Therefore, New York State
does not have the authority under the Clean Water Act to establish a
NDZ for the 2.9 miles of the St. Lawrence River that lie within the
United States, between the St. Lawrence-Franklin county line and the
U.S.-Canadian border. Accordingly, this tentative determination only
regards the approximately 112 miles of the St. Lawrence River over
which New York State has jurisdiction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certification of Need: New York's petition contains a certification
by the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) that the protection and enhancement of the New
York State portion of the St. Lawrence River and the numerous navigable
tributaries, harbors and embayments thereof, requires greater
environmental protection than the applicable Federal standards provide.
The certification states that the subject waters are of unique
ecological, economic and public health significance, and that pathogens
and chemicals contained in the currently-lawful effluent from
discharging marine sanitation devices (MSDs) threaten public health and
the environment and contravene the State's ongoing efforts to control
point and non-

point source pollution from, among other things, municipal discharges,
combined sewer overflows and stormwater runoff.
    In support of the certification, the Commissioner notes that the
St. Lawrence River supports a diversity of uses, including providing
drinking water for approximately 17,000 people in New York, valuable
wildlife habitat, a commercial shipping corridor, recreational boating
and numerous sites for aquatic recreation. The River serves as an
economic engine for the region, and is heavily used and enjoyed by the
citizens of the many lakeshore communities and throughout the
watershed. The River is also home to the Thousand Islands Region, an
international tourism destination encompassing communities on both
sides of the U.S. and Canadian border along the River and the eastern
shores of Lake Ontario. While New York acknowledges that a No Discharge
Zone designation alone will not obviate the need for other water
quality improvement efforts, a NDZ for the St. Lawrence River would
complement the benefits of the State's other efforts to protect and
improve water quality in the River.
    Adequacy of Sewage Removal and Treatment Facilities: In determining
whether adequate facilities exist for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of sewage from all vessels using a water body, the EPA relies
on the ``Clean Vessel Act: Pumpout Station and Dump Station Technical
Guidelines,'' (CVA Guidelines) published by the U.S. Department of the
Interior, which provides that at least one pumpout station should be
provided for every 300 to 600 vessels over 16 feet in length. See 59 FR
11297. The guidelines also provide that approximately 20% of vessels
between 16 and 26 feet, 50% of vessels between 26 and 40 feet and all
vessels over 40 feet in length can be assumed to have an installed
toilet with some type of Marine Sanitation Device (MSD). Vessels below
16 feet in length are generally presumed not to have an MSD onboard.

Estimated Recreational Vessel Population

    There is no single definitive source of information on the number
of vessels, or vessels with MSDs, that frequent the St. Lawrence River.
The number and distribution fluctuates depending on the time of year,
day of the week, weather conditions and special events. In order to
develop a reasonable estimate of recreational vessel population, New
York relied on two major sources of information. The first was the New
York Department of State's (DOS's) Clean Vessel Act Plan (``Statewide
Plan''), released in 1996. The purpose of the plan was to characterize
pumpout adequacy across New York State. From August 1994 to July 1995,
DOS surveyed municipalities to assess the availability of public sewage
pumpout facilities. Many private marina operators were also contacted.
Private pumpouts and dump stations were initially estimated from the
NYSDEC and New York Sea Grant boating guides, augmented with
information on vessel registration, aerial photographs of peak season
use and local plans and studies. Using data from the Statewide Plan,
the estimated number of recreational vessels in Jefferson and St.
Lawrence Counties, which border the St. Lawrence River, is a total of
3,775 vessels (3,170 and 605, respectively).
    The second, and more recent, source for information about the
recreational vessel population in the proposed NDZ is the New York
State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation's 2012
Boating Report (OPRHP Report) for the counties of Jefferson and St.
Lawrence, which encompass the proposed NDZ. The OPRHP Report provides a
breakdown of the of the vessel registrations by vessel length for each
county. Applying the CVA Guidelines, above, on the relationship between
vessel length and MSDs to the data in the OPRHP Report yields an
estimate of 2,611 vessels with MSDs registered in Jefferson and St.
Lawrence counties, all of which, conservatively, were assumed to
operate on the St. Lawrence River.

Available Pumpout Facilities to Recreational Vessels

    The federal Clean Vessel Act of 1992 made grants available to
states for construction, replacement and renovation of recreational
vessel pumpouts. The NYSDEC applied for the first federal grant in 1994
and initiated a statewide program known as the Clean Vessel Assistance
Program (CVAP), managed and administered by the New York State
Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). The NYSEFC provides
three distinct grant programs: CVAP Construction Grants (for new
installations or replacement), CVAP Upgrade Grants (for improvements to
existing pumpouts) and CVAP Operation & Maintenance Grants (for annual
upkeep of pumpouts). The NYSEFC also provides funding for information
and education on the benefits, use and availability of pumpouts. New
York's petition listed 22 currently operating stationary CVAP pumpout
facilities that serve the St. Lawrence River in Jefferson and St.
Lawrence counties in the state, but the EPA's review has determined the
number to be 21. These facilities are summarized in Table 1, below.

Ratio of Pumpout Facilities-to-Recreational Vessels

    In calculating the ratio of pumpout facilities-to-vessels, only
CVAP-funded facilities were considered. (If all pumpout facilities
(CVAP and non-CVAP) are considered, the ratios would show even greater
coverage.) This calculation shows that overall, within the proposed St.
Lawrence River NDZ, there are an adequate number of stationary pumpout
facilities to support the proposed NDZ, with a pumpout-to-vessel ratio
as high as 1:180 (using the estimate of 3,775 vessels from the 1996
CVAP Statewide Plan) and as low as 1:119 (using the estimate of 2,611
registered vessels from the 2012 OPRHP Report). By either of the
methods discussed above, there are currently sufficient pumpout
facilities to meet the upper/maximum 1:600 ratio, and both ratios fall
well below the lower/minimum 1:300 ratio used to determine adequacy of
pumpout facilities.

Adequacy of Available Pumpout Facilities to Commercial Vessels

    Commercial vessel populations were estimated using data from the
National Ballast Information Clearinghouse (NBIC), which records
ballast water discharge reports for ships arriving at the two main
commercial ports on the St. Lawrence River (U.S. side)--Ogdensburg and
Massena. In calendar year 2011, ballast manifests showed eight vessels
arriving in Ogdensburg and one in Massena. These vessels were either
bulkers or passenger cruise ships. Most passenger cruise ships using
ports in the proposed NDZ are smaller, chartered site-seeing boats, but
this commercial traffic also includes two cruise passenger vessels (the
St. Laurent and Pearl Mist), which can hold 200 to 300 passengers each.
In calendar year 2010, there were four commercial arrivals at
Ogdensburg and seven at Massena. Overall, at both ports combined,
annual commercial traffic averages approximately one vessel per month.
While other commercial vessels move through the proposed NDZ, they do
not stop at the main commercial ports.
    Commercial vessels in the proposed NDZ that are too large to use a
CVAP stationary pumpout facility may dock at either commercial port,
and call a mobile septic waste hauler (pumpout truck) to meet the
vessel and provide pumpout services at the dock. There are

at least four mobile septic waste hauling companies with trucks that
have the capacity to pumpout and transfer a combined total of 36,400
gallons of sewage to a local sewage treatment plant. Based on the low
level of commercial vessel traffic using the ports in the proposed NDZ,
and the transience of these vessels, the availability of four septic
hauler pumpout truck companies provides adequate pumpout capacity for
commercial vessels. These services are summarized in Table 2, below.

    Based on a total recreational vessel population of 3,775 and 21
currently available pumpout facilities, the ratio of vessels to
pumpouts is 180:1, which means there are significantly more pumpouts
than the recommended range of 300-600:1. Also, based on the low level
of commercial vessel traffic (approximately one vessel per month) at
the two St. Lawrence River commercial ports and the transience of these
vessels, the availability of four septic hauler pumpout truck companies
provides adequate pumpout capacity for vessels that are too large to
use the stationary pumpout facilities. Therefore, the EPA proposes to
issue a determination that adequate pumpout facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of sewage for all vessels are reasonably
available for the waters of the New York portion of the St. Lawrence
River.
    A 30-day period for public comment has been opened on this matter
and the EPA invites any comments relevant to its proposed
determination. If, after the public comment period ends, the EPA makes
a final determination that adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are
reasonably available for the waters of the New York State portion of
the St. Lawrence River, the State may completely prohibit the discharge
from all vessels of any sewage, whether treated or not, into such
waters.
