II. Background 

Section 24(c) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136v(c)) authorizes States to register 

‘‘additional uses of federally registered 

pesticides to meet special local needs.’’ 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 24(c), EPA’s 

regulations at 40 CFR 162.154(h) require 

States to notify EPA of such special 

local needs registrations. EPA’s 

regulations pertaining to such special 

local need registrations state that ‘‘the 

Administrator may disapprove, on any 

reasonable grounds, any state [special 

local needs] registration . . . Grounds 

for disapproval . . . include . . . 

[p]robable creation of unreasonable 

adverse effects on man or the 

environment by the registered use[and 

f]ailure of information submitted by the 

State to support the State’s decision to 

issue the registration under the 

standards established by § 162.153.’’ 40 

CFR 162.154(a)(1). In addition, FIFRA 

Section 24(c)(1) precludes state SLN 

registrations ‘‘if registration for such use 

has . . . previously been denied, 

disapproved, or canceled by the 

Administrator, or voluntarily canceled 

by the registrant subsequent to issuance 

of a notice of intent to cancel because 

of health or environmental concerns 

about an ingredient contained in the 

pesticide product.’’ 40 CFR 

162.152(a)(3). 

III. Disapproval of Special Local Need 

Registrations 

On March 15, 2021, EPA disapproved 

special local need registrations from the 

North Carolina Department of 

Agriculture and Consumer Services to 

extend the application cut-off dates to 

July 31 for over-the-top (OTT) use of the 

following dicamba products on 

dicamba-tolerant soybean and dicambatolerant cotton: 

1. EPA SLN No. NC200005—XtendiMax®

with Vapor Grip® Technology (EPA Reg. No. 

264–1210); containing dicamba. 

2. EPA SLN No. NC210001—Engenia®

Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 7969–472); 

containing dicamba. 

On April 9, 2021, EPA disapproved 

special local need registrations from the 

Tennessee Department of Agriculture to 

extend the application cut-off date to 

July 30 for OTT use of the following 

dicamba products on dicamba-tolerant 

soybean: 

1. EPA SLN No. TN210001—XtendiMax®

with Vapor Grip® Technology (EPA Reg. No. 

264–1210); containing dicamba. 

2. EPA SLN No. TN210002—Engenia®

Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 7969–472); 

containing dicamba. 

On April 23, 2021, EPA disapproved 

special local need registrations from the 

Georgia Department of Agriculture to 

reduce the annual application training 

requirement to every other year, remove 

application cut-off dates and reduce 

buffer requirements for OTT use of the 

following dicamba product on dicambatolerant soybean and dicamba-tolerant 

cotton: 

EPA SLN No. GA210001—XtendiMax®

with Vapor Grip® Technology (EPA Reg. No. 

264–1210); containing dicamba.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

[FRL 8767–01–R3] 

Clean Water Act: No-Discharge Zones 

for Vessel Sewage in Maryland and 

Virginia; Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice—final determination; 

correction. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is correcting a notice of 

final determination published on May 

11, 2021. EPA determined that adequate 

facilities for the safe and sanitary 

removal and treatment of sewage from 

all vessels were reasonably available to 

support the State’s prohibition of vessel 

sewage discharges in thirteen 

waterbodies in Anne Arundel County, 

Maryland, but has since identified 

errors in the geographic coordinates that 

correspond to the boundaries of the nodischarge zones as described in the 

earlier notice. This notice simply 

corrects those geographic coordinate 

errors; it does not otherwise change 

EPA’s May 11, 2021 final determination. 

DATES: This correction is effective on 

September 13, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

11, 2021 (86 FR 25856), EPA published 

a notice of final determination, ‘‘Clean 

Water Act: No-Discharge Zones for 

Vessel Sewage in Maryland and 

Virginia.’’ The notice explained EPA’s 

determination that adequate facilities 

for the safe and sanitary removal and 

treatment of sewage from all vessels are 

reasonably available for the thirteen 

waterbodies located in Anne Arundel 

County for which Maryland sought to 

establish a no-discharge zone for vessel 

sewage under Clean Water Act section 

312(f)(3). The document also provided 

one of the geographic coordinates from 

an existing no-discharge zone for Perrin 

River, Virginia, published at 85 FR 

59796 on September 23, 2020. 

Need for Correction 

As published, the notice of the final 

determination misidentified the 

geographic coordinates of the nodischarge zone boundaries for Bodkin 

Creek, Magothy and Little Magothy 

Rivers, Podickory Creek, Sandy Point/ 

Mezick Pond, Severn River, Fishing 

Creek, and South River waterbodies. 

The notice explained these boundaries 

in narrative terms; the earlier-published 

geographic coordinates did not 

correspond to the narrative descriptions 

of the boundaries for which EPA made 

the determination. Upon identifying the 

errors, EPA confirmed the correct 

geographic coordinates with Maryland. 

EPA finds that there is good cause to 

make this correction without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment on 

the basis that notice and comment is 

unnecessary and would not be in the 

public interest. The change merely 

conforms numeric geographic 

coordinates to the clear narrative 

descriptions and detailed maps of the 

no-discharge zone boundaries that were 

included in Maryland’s application and 

upon which EPA’s approval was based. 

As such, this correction does not alter 

EPA’s earlier determination. EPA 

further determines that good cause 

exists to make the change effective upon 

publication, rather than delay the 

effective date, because the narrative 

boundary descriptions are clear, 

rendering a delayed effective date 

unnecessary. In addition, public interest 

requires prompt confirmation of the 

correct numeric geographic coordinates 

further describing the no-discharge zone 

boundaries.
