concerns regarding the adequacy of the

standard MOE/safety factor.

The toxicology data base for

methoxyfenozide included acceptable

developmental toxicity studies in both

rats and rabbits as well as a 2–

generation reproductive toxicity study

in rats. The data provided no indication

of increased sensitivity of rats or rabbits

to in utero and/or postnatal exposure to

methoxyfenozide. There is a complete

toxicity data base for methoxyfenozide

and exposure data are complete or are

estimated based on data that reasonably

accounts for potential exposures. Based

on the completeness of the data base

and the lack of prenatal and postnatal

toxicity, EPA determined that an

additional safety factor was not needed

for the protection of infants and

children.

Since no acute toxicological

endpoints were established, acute

aggregate risk is considered to be

negligible. Using the exposure

assumptions described in this unit,

Rohm and Haas has concluded that

aggregate exposure to methoxyfenozide

from food will utilize 37.6% of the

cPAD for infants and children. EPA

generally has no concern for exposures

below 100% of the cPAD because the

cPAD represents the level at or below

which daily aggregate dietary exposure

over a lifetime will not pose appreciable

risks to human health. Despite the

potential for exposure to

methoxyfenozide in drinking water,

Rohm and Haas does not expect the

aggregate exposure to exceed 100% of

the cPAD. Short and intermediate term

risks are judged to be negligible due to

the lack of significant toxicological

effects observed. Based on these risk

assessments, Rohm and Haas concludes

that there is a reasonable certainty that

no harm will result to infants and

children from aggregate exposure to

methoxyfenozide residues.

F. International Tolerances

There are no established or proposed

Codex, Canadian or Mexican limits for

residues of methoxyfenozide in/on plant

or animal commodities. Therefore, no

compatibility issues exist with regard to

the proposed U.S. tolerances.

Massachusetts Marine Sanitation

Device Standard; Receipt of Petition

Notice is hereby given that a petition

has been received from the State of

Massachusetts requesting a

determination of the Regional

Administrator, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, pursuant to section

312(f)(3) of Public Law 92–500 as

amended by Public Law 95–217 and

Public Law 100–4, that adequate

facilities for the safe and sanitary

removal and treatment of sewage from

all vessels are reasonably available for

the Three Bay/Centerville Harbor Area

in the Town of Barnstable, County of

Barnstable, State of Massachusetts, to

qualify as a ‘‘No Discharge Area’’ (NDA).

The areas covered under this petition

include Cotuit Bay, West Bay, East Bay,

and Squaw Island Marsh, north of a line

drawn 500 feet south of their mouths at

Nantucket Sound. The area also

includes the following sub-embayments:

North Bay, Prince Cove, Marstons Mills

River South of Route 28, Scudder Bay

South of Bumps River Road, Bumps

River East of Bumps River Road,

Centerville River West of Craigville

Beach Road, and Halls Creek South of

28488 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2001 / Notices

Craigville Beach Road. The proposed

NDA encompasses approximately 2,150

surface acres in the Southwest corner in

the Town of Barnstable. The area is

roughly bounded by: 41°36′40.0′′ N by

70°26′41.1′′ W, 41°37′26.9′′ N by

70°19′05.4′′ W, 41°38′19.8′′ N by

70°19′21.9′′ W, and 41° 39′03.2′′ N—

70°24′53.8′′ W.

The State of Massachusetts has

certified that there will be two pumpout facilities located within the

proposed area to service vessels in the

Three Bay/Centerville Harbor Area. The

first, is a pump-out boat operated by the

Harbormasters Office, and docked at the

Oyster Harbor Marine when not in use.

The boat has a holding capacity of 300

gallons. The pump-out boat is available

Wednesday through Sunday from 0930

to 1630 (9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) from

Memorial Day to Thanksgiving. The

pump-out boat is accessible by VHF

marine radio via Channel 9 and by

calling the Marine and Environmental

Affairs Division (MEAD) in Barnstable

at (508) 790–6273. The second pumpout facility is a self service trailer unit

and located at the Oyster Harbor

Marine, with a holding capacity of 250

gallons, and provides access for vessels

up to 50 feet in length and a draft of 4

feet at mean low water. This facility is

available daily from June 15 through

September 15 from approximately 0800

to 1700 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). During the

early spring and late fall this facility is

available by contacting the

Harbormaster Office by phone at (508)

790–6273.

The town of Barnstable maintains

public facilities at four locations, Loops

Beach, Craigville Beach, Covells Beach

and Dowse’s Beach, and are seasonal. In

addition the three marinas located

within the proposed NDA provide onshore toilet facilities for marina patrons

and their guests.

The waste from the pump-out boat is

off loaded to the trailer unit and then

transported to the Barnstable Water

Pollution Control Facility. The

Barnstable Board of Health issues a

waste permit for this disposal.

The number of mooring permits

indicate that 1,667 vessels reside within

the Three Bay/Centerville Harbor Area

and 1584 are identified as recreational

and 83 are commercial vessels. The

Three Bay/Centerville Harbor Area is

primarily a ‘‘parking lot’’ harbor and

70% of the vessel population is under

25 feet in length, and therefore do not

have any type of Marine Sanitation

Device (MSD). There are a number of

locations in the Three Bay/Centerville

Harbor Area with public launching

ramps, however, the size and condition

of the ramps and the depth of the water

generally limit use to vessels 25 feet and

under. In addition to the vessels that

reside in the Three Bay/Centerville

Harbor Area, there is a transient

population estimated at 110 vessels

which have MSDs.

The resources of the Three Bay/

Centerville Harbor Area are recreational

and commercial. There are four public

beaches, the Dead Neck Audubon Bird/

Wildlife Refuge, and town conservation

lands located within the proposed No

Discharge Area. The area is also used by

both recreational and commercial shell

fishermen for the harvest of quahogs,

and soft-shell clams.

Comments and reviews regarding this

request for action may be filed on or

before June 22, 2001. Such

communications, or requests for

information or a copy of the applicant’s

petition, should be addressed to Ann
