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.

Development as part of the review of the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for ozone. 

EPA is releasing this draft document 

to seek review by the Clean Air 

Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)

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 (O3) 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.

Examination Rating System 

AGENCY: Federal Housing Finance 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Housing Finance 

Agency (FHFA) is requesting comments 

on a proposed new examination rating 

system, which would be used when 

examining Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 

(Enterprises), the Federal Home Loan 

Banks (Banks), (regulated entity or 

entities), and the Banks’ Office of 

Finance. The new rating system would 

be based on a ‘‘CAMELSO’’ framework 

and would require an assessment of 

seven individual components dealing 

with Capital, Asset quality, 

Management, Earnings, Liquidity, 

Sensitivity to market risk, and 

Operational risk. The new system would 

replace those that had been developed 

by FHFA’s predecessor agencies, and 

FHFA intends to begin using the new 

ratings system for examinations that 

commence after January 1, 2013. 

DATES: FHFA will accept comments in 

writing on or before July 19, 2012.

and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 

(HERA), Public Law 110–289, 122 Stat. 

2654 (2008), created FHFA as an 

independent agency of the Federal

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
