SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

13, 1996, VA published a final rule in 

the Federal Register (61 FR 21964) 

amending its medical regulations in 38 

CFR part 17 by making a number of 

nonsubstantive changes. In the 

document, we removed § 17.31 (a), (b) 

introductory text and (b)(1) through 

(b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(7), and (c), leaving 

(b)(5) and (d). Inadvertenly, we then 

redesignated § 17.31(b)(5) as § 17.31, 

creating a second § 17.31. The second 

§ 17.31 is obsolete. This document 

corrects the error by removing the 

second § 17.31 from 38 CFR part 17.

Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: Due to an adverse comment, 

EPA is withdrawing the direct final rule 

to extend the attainment date from June 

15, 2010 to June 15, 2011 for the 

Baltimore nonattainment area, which is 

classified as moderate for the 1997 8- 

hour ozone national ambient air quality 

standard (NAAQS). In the direct final 

rule published on July 23, 2010, we

take effect. EPA received an adverse 

comment within the comment period. 

EPA will address the comment received 

in a subsequent final action based upon 

the proposed action also published on

not institute a second comment period 

on this action.

[FRL–9197–6] 

Ocean Dumping; Guam Ocean 

Dredged Material Disposal Site 

Designation 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The EPA is designating the 

Guam Deep Ocean Disposal Site (G– 

DODS) as a permanent ocean dredged 

material disposal site (ODMDS) located 

offshore of Guam. Dredging is essential 

for maintaining safe navigation at port 

and naval facilities in Apra Harbor and 

other locations around Guam. Beneficial 

re-use of dredged material (e.g., for 

habitat creation, construction material, 

or landfill cover) is preferred over ocean 

disposal. However, not all dredged 

materials are suitable for beneficial reuse, and not all suitable materials can be 

re-used or stockpiled for future use 

given costs, logistical constraints, and 

capacity of existing land disposal or rehandling sites. Therefore, there is a need 

to designate a permanent ODMDS 

offshore of Guam. Disposal operations at 

the site will be limited to a maximum 

of 1 million cubic yards (764,555 cubic 

meters) per calendar year and must be 

conducted in accordance with the Site 

Management and Monitoring Plan and 

any project-specific permit conditions. 

The designated ODMDS will be 

monitored periodically to ensure that 

the site operates as expected. 

DATES: Effective October 8, 2010.
