special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information

II. Background 

The purpose of this notice is to extend 

the public comment period on the EPA’s 

recently posted draft non-binding 

guidance titled, ‘‘Guidance for 1-Hour 

SO2 SIP Submissions.’’ The comment 

period notice published in the Federal 

Register on October 3, 2011 at 76 FR 

61098. The original comment period is 

scheduled to expire on November 2, 

2011. By this notice, the EPA is 

extending the comment period for an 

additional 30 days resulting in the 

comment period ending on December 2, 

2011. The EPA is extending the 

comment period due to public requests 

that have been made stating that 

additional time is required in order to 

fully evaluate the guidance and provide 

substantive comment. 

While the EPA is providing additional 

time for the public to submit comments 

on the draft guidance, we are also taking 

into consideration that there is a need 

to finalize the guidance as quickly as 

possible so that states, tribes, and air 

agencies have the necessary information 

to begin work on their State 

Implementation Plans submittals to 

address 1-hour SO2 NAAQS. We are 

therefore working to assure that the 

delays that result from this extension of 

the comment period on the draft 

guidance are kept to a minimum. In 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 209 / Friday, October 28, 2011 / Notices 66927 

addition, as stated in the draft guidance, 

the EPA is also currently drafting a 

proposed rulemaking on specific 

elements of the draft guidance 

concerning the elements necessary for 

the section 110(a)(1) maintenance plan 

submittal. Since these two documents 

are linked in terms of issues involved, 

the EPA will be taking into 

consideration the comments that will be 

received on the draft guidance in 

making decisions concerning each 

document.

New York State Prohibition of 

Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Final 

Affirmative Determination 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of determination. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that, 

pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 

312(f)(3) (33 U.S.C. 1322(f)(3)), the State 

of New York has determined that the 

protection and enhancement of the 

quality of Jamaica Bay (the Bay) in the 

New York City metropolitan area 

requires greater environmental 

protection, and has 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. 

The New York State Department of 

Conservation (NYSDEC) on behalf of the 

New York City Department of 

Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) 

has proposed to establish a Vessel Waste 

No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for the Bay 

that covers an area of approximately 

20,000 acres (17,177 acres of open water 

and 2,695 acres of upland islands and 

salt marshes). It is bounded on the west 

and northwest by Brooklyn, and on the 

north and northeast by Queens. The 

northeastern and southeastern corners 

of the Bay are bordered by Nassau 

County. The northern shore of the 

Rockaway Peninsula, a part of Queens, 

forms the southern boundary. The Bay 

is connected to the Atlantic Ocean 

through the Rockaway Inlet and has a 

tidal range of approximately 5 to 6 feet. 

The NYSDEC certified the need for 

greater protection of the water quality. 

EPA hereby makes a final affirmative 

determination that adequate facilities 

for the safe and sanitary removal and 

treatment of sewage from all vessels are 

reasonably available for the Bay. 

EPA published a tentative affirmative 

determination on August 3, 2011 in the 

Federal Register. Public comments were 

solicited for 30 days and the comment 

period ended on September 2, 2011. 

EPA received a total of twenty (25) 

comments via letter and email. The 

comment tally was twenty-three (23) in 

favor of, and two (2) questioning or 

opposing, the No Discharge Zone 

designation. All the relevant comments 

received have been considered in the 

final affirmative determination. This 

Federal Register document will address 

all comments submitted in response to 

the August 3, 2011 (Volume 76 Issue 

149) Federal Register document. 

Response to Comments 

1. Comment: Twenty-three 

commenters including boaters, 

paddlers, kayakers, non-governmental 

organizations, and community 

advocates expressed strong support for 

EPA’s action to establish a vessel waste 

no discharge zone for the Bay. Some 

commenters pointed out that this action 

will reduce pathogens and chemicals, 

improve water quality and further 

protect and restore the Bay. 

EPA Response: EPA is in full 

agreement that designating the Bay is an 

important step to further protect this 

valuable natural resource, water quality, 

wetlands and habitats throughout the 

entire the Bay area. 

2. Comment: One commenter stated 

that discharges from several small tugs 

with the required Marine Sanitation 

Devices (MSDs) are a relatively small 

source of pollution compared to the 

pollution caused by 1,200 to 1,500 of 

recreational vessels that utilized the 

Bay. 

EPA Response: These comments go 

beyond the scope of EPA’s authority in 

this action. Because EPA’s authority 

here is limited to determining whether 

adequate pumpout facilities exist, it 

cannot base its determination on 

whether commercial vessel sewage is 

comparable in quantity or impact to 

other sources of pollution, or whether 

banning such discharges is otherwise 

unfair to commercial boaters. However, 

it is noted that the sewage discharged 

from MSDs is treated with chlorine, 

quaternary ammonia and formaldehyde, 

which can all pose threats to the marine 

environment, especially if present in
