**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 The second § 17.31 is obsolete.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. List of Subjects in 38 CFR Part 17

**[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 dredgedmaterials are suitable for beneficial reuse, and not all suitable materials can be re-used or stockpiled for future use given costs, logistical constraints, andcapacity 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.
