National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

We have prepared an environmental 

impact statement and have determined 

that this rule will not have a significant 

effect on the quality of the human 

environment under the NEPA of 1969. 

The Plan/EIS for the Park and ROD that 

included an evaluation of bicycling 

within the proposed areas may be

Effects on the Energy Supply (Executive 

Order 13211) 

This rule is not a significant energy 

action under the definition in Executive 

Order 13211. A statement of Energy 

Effects is not required. 

Clarity of This Regulation 

We are required by Executive Orders 

12866 and 12988 and by the 

Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 

1998, to write all rules in plain 

language. This means that each rule we 

publish must: 

(a) Be logically organized; 

(b) Use the active voice to address 

readers directly; 

(c) Use clear language rather than 

jargon; 

(d) Be divided into short sections and 

sentences; and 

(e) Use lists and tables wherever 

possible. 

If you feel that we have not met these 

requirements, send us comments by one 

of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES

section. To better help us revise the 

rule, your comments should be as 

specific as possible. For example, you 

should tell us the numbers of the 

sections or paragraphs that you find 

unclear, which sections or sentences are 

too long, the sections where you feel 

lists or tables would be useful, etc. 

Drafting Information 

The primary authors of this regulation 

are Lynn Garrity, Outdoor Recreation 

Planner, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, 

and C. Rose Wilkinson and A.J. North, 

NPS Regulations Program, Washington,

practicable, to afford the public an 

opportunity to participate in the 

rulemaking process. Accordingly,

do so.

Modification of the Designations of the 

Caribbean Ocean Dredged Material 

Disposal Sites (San Juan Harbor, PR; 

Yabucoa Harbor, PR; Ponce Harbor, 

PR; Mayaguez Harbor, PR; Arecibo 

Harbor, PR) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to modify 

the designations for the five Ocean 

Dredged Material Disposal Sites 

(ODMDS) around Puerto Rico (San Juan 

Harbor, PR ODMDS; Yabucoa Harbor, 

PR ODMDS; Ponce Harbor, PR ODMDS; 

Mayaguez Harbor, PR ODMDS; Arecibo 

Harbor, PR ODMDS). Currently, each of 

the ODMDS is restricted to only allow 

disposal of dredged material from the 

specific harbor for which it is named. 

The proposed modification would 

remove the restriction that limits 

eligibility for disposal at each of the 

disposal sites based solely on the 

geographic origin of the dredged 

material. The proposed modifications to 

the site designations do not actually 

authorize the disposal of any particular 

dredged material at any site. All 

proposals to dispose of dredged material 

at any of the designated sites will 

continue to be subject to project— 

specific reviews and must still be 

demonstrated to satisfy the criteria for 

ocean dumping before any material is 

authorized for disposal. This action is 

necessary to provide long-term 

flexibility for management of any 

dredged material that may potentially be 

derived from maintenance, 

development, or emergency activities in 

areas outside those harbors currently
