Telephone: (617) 918– 1538. Fax number: (617) 918–0538. Email address: rodney.ann@epa.gov. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On April 19, 2012, EPA published a notice that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had petitioned the Regional Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency, to determine that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the waters of Mount Hope Bay. Twelve comments were received on this petition, all commentors endorsed the designation.

The petition was filed pursuant to Section 312(f)(3) of Public Law 92–500, as amended by Public Laws 95–217 and 100–4, for the purpose of declaring these waters a No Discharge Area (NDA).

Section 312(f)(3) states: After the effective date of the initial standards and regulations promulgated under this section, if any State determines that the protection and enhancement of the quality of some or all of the waters within such State require greater environmental protection, such State may completely prohibit the discharge from all vessels of any sewage, whether treated or not, into such waters, except that no such prohibition shall apply until the Administrator determines that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for such water to which such prohibition would apply.

This Notice of Determination is for the waters of Mount Hope Bay. The NDA boundaries are as follows:

Waterbody/General area Latitude Longitude

The northern edge of the NDA boundary on the Taunton River is the Center Street/Elm Street bridge at 41 ° 50 ′5.90 ′′ N 71 ° 6 ′29.34′′ W The northern edge of the NDA boundary on the Lees River is the Route 6 bridge at ................................ 41 ° 44 ′24.87′′ N 71 ° 11 ′ 12.72 ′′ W The northern edge of the NDA boundary on the Cole River is the Route 6 Bridge at ................................ 41 ° 44 ′47.03 ′′ N 71 ° 12 ′ 7.81 ′′ W The southwestern edge of the NDA boundary is the Rhode Island/Massachusetts border at Swansea at 41 ° 42 ′43.94′′ N 71 ° 13 ′34.27′′ W The southeastern edge of the NDA boundary is the Rhode Island/Massachusetts border at Fall River at 41 ° 40 ′30.28 ′′ N 71 ° 11 ′43.86 ′′ W

The Mount Hope Bay NDA will encompass the tidal waters of Dighton, Berkley, Freetown, Somerset, Swansea, and Fall River to the mean high tide line.

The information submitted to EPA by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts certifies that there are three pumpout facilities within the proposed area available to the boating public. The location, contact information, hours of operation, and water depth are provided at the end of this notice.

Based on the examination of the petition and its supporting documentation, and information from site visits conducted by EPA New England staff, EPA has determined that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the area covered under this determination.

This determination is made pursuant to Section 312 (f)(3) of Public Law 92– 500, as amended by Public Laws 95–217 and 100–4.

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Information About the Document

Section 108 (a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to identify certain pollutants which, among other things, ‘‘cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare’’ and to issue air quality criteria for them. These air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air. * * *’’ Under section 109 of the Act, EPA is then to establish NAAQS for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria. Section 109 (d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health or welfare. EPA is also to periodically review and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based on the revised air quality criteria.

Ozone (O 3 ) is one of six principal (or ‘‘criteria’’) pollutants for which EPA has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis for these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) (formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical and policy assessments, provide the scientific basis for EPA decisions on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of possible alternative standards. The CASAC, an independent science advisory committee whose existence and whose review and advisory functions are mandated by Section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act, is charged (among other things) with independent scientific review of EPA’s air quality criteria.

On September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56581), EPA formally initiated its current review of the air quality criteria for ozone, requesting the submission of recent scientific information on specified topics. A draft of EPA’s ‘‘Integrated Review Plan for the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards Review’’ (EPA/452/P–09/001) was made available in September 2009 for public comment and was discussed by the CASAC via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on November 13, 2009 (74 FR 54562). In August 2010, EPA held a workshop to discuss, with invited scientific experts, initial draft materials prepared in the development of the ISA (75 FR 42085). The first external review draft ISA for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants was released on March 4, 2011 ( http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=217463 ). The CASAC panel met at a public meeting on May 19, 2011, to review the draft ISA (76 FR 23809). Subsequently, on August 10, 2011, the CASAC panel provided a consensus letter for their review to the Administrator of the EPA ( http:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 4620a620d0120f93852572410080d786/ 45A59F1BC8912FEE852578E800 66021C/$File/EPA-CASAC-11-009- unsigned.pdf ). The second external review draft ISA for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants was released on September 30, 2011 ( http:// cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/recordisplay. cfm?deid=226363 ). The CASAC panel met at a public meeting on January 9, 2012, to review the draft ISA (76 FR 76725). Subsequently, on March 13, 2012, the CASAC panel provided a consensus letter for their review to the Administrator of the EPA ( http:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 4620a620d0120f93852572410080d786/ 1336B2B88034AEB6852579C00070 70CA/$File/EPA-CASAC-12-004- unsigned.pdf ). The third external review draft ISA for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants will be discussed at a public meeting for review by CASAC, and public comments received will be provided to the CASAC review panel. A future Federal Register notice will inform the public of the exact date and time of that CASAC meeting.

A. Finance Agency’s Statutory Authorities

Effective July 30, 2008, the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654 (2008), created FHFA as an independent agency of the Federal Government and transferred to it the supervisory and oversight responsibilities over the Enterprises and Banks that formerly had been vested in its predecessor agencies, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) and the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), respectively. HERA provided that the Enterprises and the Banks were to be subject to the supervision and regulation of FHFA, and granted the Director of FHFA general regulatory
