Notice of Availability of the Project XL

Proposed Final Project Agreement:

Naval Station Mayport Project—

Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Material;

Regulatory Reinvention (XL) Pilot

Projects

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the

Project XL Proposed Final Project

Agreement: Naval Station Mayport

Project—Beneficial Reuse of Dredged

Material.

SUMMARY: EPA is requesting comments

on a proposed Project XL Final Project

Agreement (FPA) for Naval Station

Mayport (hereafter ‘‘NS Mayport’’). The

FPA is a voluntary agreement developed

collaboratively by NS Mayport, the

Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers (COE), the Florida

Department of Environmental Protection

(DEP), the City of Jacksonville

(Jacksonville) and EPA. Project XL,

announced in the Federal Register on

May 23, 1995 (60 FR 27282), gives

regulated entities the flexibility to

develop alternative strategies that will

replace or modify specific regulatory or

procedural requirements on the

condition that they produce greater

environmental benefits. EPA has set a

goal of implementing fifty XL projects

undertaken in full partnership with the

states.

In order to maintain operations at NS

Mayport, 600,000 cubic yards of

sediment must be dredged every 18–24

months from the facility’s entrance

channel and turning basin. Since 1993,

NS Mayport has been disposing of this

material into the ocean. To reduce and

eventually eliminate ocean disposal, NS

Mayport proposes to use this excess

dredged material as the foundation for

the production of construction blocks

and artificial reef material. Initially, the

dredged material for construction of the

building blocks and the artificial reef

material will be derived from two

existing upland holding sites. In the

future, the dredged material will come

(either directly or indirectly through

temporary storage at the upland holding

sites) from the facility’s maintenance

dredging projects thereby eliminating

the need for ocean disposal of this

material. By the year 2020, NS Mayport

has estimated that without this project,

it will have disposed of approximately

ten (10) million cubic yards of dredged

material into the ocean. Additionally,

NS Mayport is considering use of excess

flyash produced by Jacksonville’s

electrical generating plant as a

solidification material for the

construction blocks. No flyash will be

used to make materials for artificial

reefs.

In order for NS Mayport to dredge its

entrance channel and turning basin, and

dispose of the material into the ocean,

it is required to obtain two permits from

the COE: a Section 10 permit for

dredging and a Section 103 permit for

ocean disposal. COE 103 permits for

ocean disposal are subject to EPA

concurrence. NS Mayport is also

required to obtain from Florida DEP an

Environmental Resource Permit and any

associated Sovereign Submerged Land

authorizations. As noted above, NS

Mayport is currently required to obtain

three permits, with three different timelines, to dredge and dispose of its

maintenance dredged material. This

creates a confusing process during the

permit’s renewal and public comment

periods. Through Project XL, NS

Mayport is asking EPA to participate in

a partnership with COE, Florida DEP,

Jacksonville, and interested

Stakeholders to synchronize the

dredging and ocean disposal permitting

process. The COE regulations state that

ocean disposal permits will not exceed

three (3) years. These regulations,

however, allow the COE district

engineer to grant permit extensions.

Though the regulations allow

extensions, EPA Region 4 and the

Jacksonville District of the COE do not

have procedures for such extensions.

This Project establishes procedures for

EPA Region 4 and the Jacksonville

District of the COE by proposing a fiveyear (5) permit sequence, consisting of

a three-year (3) permit with a two-year

(2) permit extension when appropriate.

This XL project has no bearing on the

separate discussions surrounding the

Agency’s final regulatory determination

for flyash. Further, this Federal Register

Notice is not soliciting comments on the

Agency’s final regulatory determination

for flyash. NS Mayport is not seeking

any relief from regulatory requirements,

including any that may result from EPA

action pursuant to the regulatory

determination for flyash.

DATES: The period for submission of

comments ends on May 22, 2000.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[DA–00–868]

Telecommunications Services

Between the United States and Cuba

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: On April 13, 2000, the FCC

approved the application of CODETEL

International Communications

Corporation (CIC) to provide

international message telephone service

(IMTS) between the United States and

Cuba transiting the Dominican

Republic, subject to specific conditions.

CIC plans to offer service to Cuba

using facilities of Compan ̃ia Dominicana

de Tele ́fonos (CODETEL), the dominant

carrier in the Dominican Republic, with

which CIC is affiliated within the

meaning of 47 CFR 63.09(e). The U.S.-

Dominican Republic portion of the

traffic will be carried over a submarine

cable owned by CODETEL. The

Dominican Republic-Cuba portion of the

traffic will travel over satellite circuits

already in use for CODETEL’s traffic

with Cuba.

The FCC found that granting CIC’s

application would serve the public

interest under Section 214 of the Act, by

increasing competition on the U.S.-Cuba

international services route and

providing more choices to U.S.

consumers.

DATES: April 13, 2000.
