Availability of the Baseline Inspection 

Report for Public Comment 

EPA is seeking public comment on 

our proposed approval of the INL CCP 

waste characterization program and the 

proposed tiering structure for changes to 

the INL CCP waste characterization 

program. EPA’s inspection report of INL 

CCP’s waste characterization program is 

in the public dockets described in 

ADDRESSES. This report can also be 

found online in EDOCKET ID No. OAR–

2005–0162 and at our Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/radiation/wipp. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 194.8, EPA is 

providing the public 45 days to 

comment on EPA’s proposed approval 

and inspection report. 

EPA will evaluate public comments 

and revise the inspection report as 

necessary. If appropriate, EPA will then 

issue a final inspection report and a 

letter to DOE approving the INL CCP 

waste characterization program for 

disposal of TRU waste at WIPP. Any 

approval letter and final inspection 

report will be available from the 

DOCKETS and from our WIPP Web site. 

EPA will not make a determination 

regarding the approval of the INL CCP 

waste characterization program before 

the end of the 45-day comment period 

ends.

[FRL–7966–9] 

Notice of Availability of Final NPDES 

General Permits MAG910000 and 

NHG910000 for Discharges From 

Groundwater Remediation, 

Contaminated Construction DeWatering, and Miscellaneous Surface 

Water Discharge Activities in the 

States of Massachusetts and New 

Hampshire and Indian Country Lands 

in the State of Massachusetts: The 

Remediation General Permit (RGP) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of final 

NPDES general permits MAG910000 

and NHG910000: The Remediation 

General Permit (RGP). 

SUMMARY: The Director of the Office of 

Ecosystem Protection at the 

Environmental Protection Agency’s New 

England Regional Office (EPA–NE), is 

issuing National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) general 

permits to cover discharges of 

contaminated ground and surface waters 

in Massachusetts (MA), New Hampshire 

(NH), as well as in Indian Country lands 

located in MA, to surface receiving 

waters (waters of the United States) 

related to the following: groundwater 

remediation activities; construction 

projects where chemical contamination 

is present in the water; well 

development or rehabilitation and 

aquifer pump testing at formerly 

contaminated sites; clean-up of 

industrial sumps; hydrostatic testing of 

pipelines and tanks; and short-term 

testing at dredging projects not covered 

by a permit issued by the Army Corps 

of Engineers. 

The purpose of this document is to 

inform the public that the new general 

permit in Massachusetts and New 

Hampshire, known as the Remediation 

General Permit (RGP), is now available. 

The Notice of Availability for the draft 

RGP was published in the Federal 

Register on November 2, 2004 (69 FR 

63531). In response to a number of 

requests, on December 8, 2004, EPA–NE 

extended the comment period from 

December 17, 2004, to January 18, 2005. 

During the public comment period, 

EPA–NE received 18 sets of comments 

regarding the RGP. EPA–NE prepared a 

response-to-comments document and 

made a number of corresponding 

changes to the RGP, including, but not 

limited to: removing utility vaults and 

manholes from the applicability, 

allowing the use of historic data in 

certain circumstances, expanding the 

period of intermittent shutdowns from 

90 to 120 days, etc. The response-tocomments document is available with 

the final general permit. 

The final RGP establishes notification 

requirements, effluent limitations, 

monitoring requirements, and 

administrative requirements, as well as 

other standards, conditions, 

prohibitions, and management practices 

for discharges to both fresh and marine 

waters. The RGP does not cover new 

sources as defined under 40 CFR 122.2. 

Also, the final RGP does not cover 

discharges from utility vaults and 

manholes, as proposed. Rather, EPA 

plans to develop a separate general 

permit for that discharge category. 

DATES: The general permit shall be 

effective September 9, 2005. See the 

general permit for specific application 

deadlines.

final permit may be obtained between

Proposed Project 

Evaluation of an Intervention to 

Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in 

Primary Care Clinics—New—National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description: 

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third 

most frequent form of cancer and the 

second leading cause of cancer-related 

deaths among both men and women in 

the United States. Research shows that 

screening can reduce both the 

occurrence of colorectal cancer and 

colorectal cancer deaths. Screening is 

beneficial for: (1) Detection and removal 

of precancerous polyps, resulting in 

patients recovering without progression 

to a diagnosis of cancer, and (2) early 

detection of CRC for more effective 

treatment and improved survival. 

Regular CRC screening is recommended 

for people aged 50 years and older. 

Many screening tests are widely 

available and screening has been shown 

to be effective in reducing CRC 

mortality. Despite this demonstrated 

effectiveness, CRC screening remains 

low. Some reasons attributed to the low 

screening rates include limited public 

awareness of CRC and the benefits of 

screening, failure of health care 

providers to recommend screening to 

patients, and inefficient surveillance 

and support systems in many health 

care settings. 

The purpose of this study is to 

evaluate and understand the effect of a 

multi-component intervention on CRC 

screening rates in primary care clinics. 

The study will also examine the effects 

of the intervention conditions on 

behavioral outcomes (e.g., clinicianpatient discussions about CRC 

screening) and on attitudes, beliefs, 

opinions, and social influence 

surrounding CRC screening among 

patients, clinicians, and clinic support 

staff. The target population includes 

average-risk patients aged 50–80 years, 

clinicians, and clinic support staff 

within the primary care clinics in two 

managed care organizations (MCOs). 

There are three tasks in this study. In 

Task 1, 180 primary care clinicians will 

complete a survey assessing 

demographics; opinions about 

preventive services; CRC screening 

training and practices; satisfaction with 

CRC screening; and CRC screening 

beliefs, facilitators, and barriers. The 

survey will be administered to primary 

care clinicians pre- and postintervention. In Task 2, 180 clinic 

support staff will complete a survey 

assessing demographics; work-related 

responsibilities; opinions about 

preventive services; CRC training and 

practices; satisfaction with CRC 

screening; and CRC screening beliefs, 

facilitators, and barriers. The survey 

will be administered to clinic support 

staff pre- and post intervention. In Task 

3, clinic patients will complete a survey 

assessing demographics, health status; 

receipt of previous CRC screening and 

other preventive services; knowledge 

and opinions about CRC and CRC 

screening; and social support. The 

survey will be administered to 4,252 

patients pre-intervention baseline and 

4,252 patients post-intervention followup. We are requesting OMB clearance 

for one year. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time.
