ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 228 

[EPA–R06–OW–2013–0221; FRL–9904–86] 

Ocean Dumping Regulations: 

Atchafalaya-West Ocean Dredged 

Material Disposal Site Designation; 

Calcasieu, Sabine Neches, and 

Atchafalaya-East Site Corrections 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule and technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(c) of 

the Marine Protection, Research and 

Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (MPRSA), the 

EPA today designates the AtchafalayaWest Ocean Disposal Site (ODMDSWest), located adjacent to and west of 

the Atchafalaya River Bar Channel 

(ARBC) of Louisiana as a permanent 

ocean dredged material disposal site 

(ODMDS). This designation will allow 

continued use of the site, which was 

previously designated a temporary site 

pursuant to MPRSA section 103(b). 

In addition to the designation, the 

EPA now issues a technical amendment 

to correct seven typographical errors. 

The designation of the Atchafalaya 

ODMDS-West disposal site does not by 

itself authorize the disposal of dredged 

material, but makes the site available for 

use for dredged material from the ARBC 

if no environmentally preferable, 

practicable alternative for managing that 

dredged material exists, and if analysis 

of the dredged material indicates that it 

is suitable for open-water disposal. This 

action is to designate adequate, 

environmentally-acceptable ocean 

disposal site capacity for suitable 

dredged material from the ARBC. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

February 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R06–OW–2013–0221. All 

documents in the docket are listed on 

the http://www.regulations.gov Web 

site. Publicly available docket materials 

are available either electronically 

through http://www.regulations.gov or 

in hard copy at the Marine & Coastal 

Section (6WQ–EC), Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue, 

Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75202–2733. 

The file will be made available by 

appointment for public inspection in 

the Region 6 Freedom of Information 

Act Review Room between the hours of 

8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays 

except for legal holidays. Contact the

I. Background 

The background for today’s action is 

discussed in detail in our May 21, 2013 

proposal [78 FR 29687, Tuesday, May 

21, 2013]. We received no comments on 

the proposed rule itself, and two 

comments on the draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed 

designation. Those comments were 

addressed in the Final EIS (Section 

4.3.6.2 and Section 5.3), which is 

available at http://www.epa.gov/

region6/water/ecopro/feis-odmds-westfinal.pdf. 

For the Calcasieu, LA, Dredged 

Material Site 3, the EPA found a 

typographical error in 40 CFR 

228.15(j)(7)(i), 4th longitudinal 

coordinate, which was incorrectly 

published as 93°16′5′′ W. The correct 

longitude for coordinate number 4 is 

93°16′25′′ W. For the Sabine-Neches, 

TX, Dredged Material Site D, the EPA 

found a typographical error in 40 CFR 

228.15(j)(25)(i), 3rd longitudinal 

coordinate, which was incorrectly 

published as 93°44′10′′ W. The correct 

longitude for coordinate number 3 is 

93°41′10′′ W. For the Sabine-Neches, 

TX, Dredged Material Sites A–D and 

Atchafalaya East, LA, the EPA did not 

clarify which North American Datum 

was used for the location coordinates. 

According to 228.15(a)(3) the default 

datum is NAD27. The correct North 

American Datum for these sites is 

NAD83. 

This final rule is also a record of 

decision in accordance with 40 CFR 

1505.2. 

II. Final Action 

The EPA hereby designates the 

Atchafalaya-West Ocean Disposal Site 

(ODMDS-West) as a permanent ocean 

dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) 

pursuant to MPRSA Section 102(c). This 

ODMDS is located adjacent to and west 

of the Atchafalaya River Bar Channel of 

Louisiana. 

This action also corrects the 

typographical errors as noted in the 

Background section of this preamble. 

III. Regulatory Requirements 

Details of the regulatory requirements 

of this rule are in our May 21, 2013 

proposed rule, 78 FR 29694, Tuesday, 

May 21, 2013. To summarize, this final 

rule complies as follows: 

—It complies with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) under the doctrine of 

functional equivalency; the EPA has 

relied on information from the final 

Environmental Impact Statement in 

its consideration and application of 

ocean dumping criteria to the 

ODMDS-West; 

—It complies with the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA), regarding 

consultation with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service in that designation of 

the ocean disposal site is not expected 

to adversely affect any threatened or 

endangered species or their critical 

habitat; 

—It complies with the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act of 1996 (MSFCMA) 

regarding consultation with the 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) in that designation of the 

ocean disposal site is not expected to 

have significant impacts to marine 

fishery resources; 

—It complies with the Coastal Zone 

Management Act, regarding federal 

activities that affect a state’s coastal 

zone in that the designation of the 

ODMDS-West is not inconsistent with 

the approved Louisiana Coastal 

Resources Program; 

—It complies with the Coastal Barrier 

Improvement Act of 1990 in that 

project activities related to disposal 

are exempt from the prohibitions set 

forth in the act. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Details of the applicability of 

executive orders and statutory 

provisions to this rule are in our May 

21, 2013 proposed rule, 78 FR 29695, 

Tuesday, May 21, 2013. To summarize, 

this final rule complies with applicable 

executive orders and statutory 

provisions as follows: 

—It is not a ‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

review under Executive Order 12866 

(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993); 

—It does not impose an information 

collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq; 

—It is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601); 

—It does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform 

Act of 1995 (Public Law 104–4); 

—It does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

—It is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

—It has no Tribal implications, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000); 

—It is not an economically significant 

regulatory action subject to Executive 

Order 12866 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

1997), and does not present a 

disproportionate risk to children; 

—It is not a significant regulatory action 

under Executive Order 12866 and so 

is not subject to Executive Order 

13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning 

Regulations That Significantly Affect 

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ 

(66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001) ; 

—It is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 

104–113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) as 

it does not involve technical 

standards; and 

—It will not have a disproportionately 

high and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority or 

low-income populations subject to 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as amended 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 to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. The EPA will 

submit a report containing this action 

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 action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2) and 

its effective date thus need not be 

delayed for 60 days.
