**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Notice is hereby given that a petition has been received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requesting a determination by the Regional Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, pursuant to Section 312 of Public Law 92–500 as amended by Public Law 95–217 and Public Law 100–4, that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for all coastal waters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The majority of Massachusetts waters have already been designated as ‘‘no discharge’’ for boat sewage. This petition covers three areas: a strip near the state-federal boundary spanning from Manchester-By-The-Sea to Marshfield, a corridor in Vineyard Sound, and a corridor in Nantucket Sound. The state wide NDA will seamlessly integrate the 20 smaller NDAs that have been designated in Massachusetts since 1991, while also incorporating the remaining undesignated coastal waters into the statewide prohibition on boat sewage disposal. The boundaries for this statewide NDA encompass all Commonwealth of Massachusetts coastal waters: from mean low water along the coast of Massachusetts, seaward to the state-federal boundary, north to the border with New Hampshire, and south to the border with Rhode Island: http:// www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/ program-areas/coastal-water-quality/ ndas/).

Previous NDA designations included estimates of the number of boats and number of Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs) in each region of interest. Based upon the figures provided in each of the applications, there are an estimated 23,080 vessels with MSDs using Massachusetts coastal waters. There are approximately 64 marinas, roughly 25,000 permitted public slips, and moorings. Massachusetts has certified that there are a total of 132 pumpout facilities in coastal Massachusetts: http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/ program-areas/coastal-water-quality/ clean-boating/pumpout-list.html.

Boat owners spend close to $200 million per year on new boats, engines, trailers, and accessories. Massachusetts has over 500 bathing beaches covering over 727 miles of sandy coastline. The shellfish habitat supports hundreds of commercial shellfishermen with a landings value of over $27 million. Coastal tourism and recreation employs over 125,000 individuals in Massachusetts and generates over $14 billion.

Notice is hereby given that a petition has been received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requesting a determination by the Regional Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that adequate facilities for the safe and
