Protection Agency—Region 2, 290 

Broadway, 24th Floor, New York, NY

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that a petition has been 

received from the State of New York 

requesting a determination by 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 Oyster Bay/Cold Springs 

Harbor Complex and its harbors and 

creeks within the following boundary: 

South of a line drawn from Rocky 

Point on Centre Island in west to 

Caumsett State Park in the east. The 

Complex encompasses 6400 acres of 

open water and intertidal area. The 

waterbodies included in the Complex 

are Oyster Bay Harbor between Bayville 

Bridge and Plum Point on Centre Island, 

Mill Neck Creek to the west of Bayville 

Bridge, Cold Spring Harbor south of a 

line between Cooper Bluff in Cove Neck 

and West Neck Beach in the Village of 

Lloyd Harbor, and Oyster Bay between 

Centre Island and the Lloyd Neck 

peninsula that connects Oyster Bay 

Harbor and Cold Spring Harbor to Long 

Island Sound. 

New York has provided 

documentation indicating that the total 

vessel population is estimated to be 

2,000 in the proposed area. Based upon 

boat census data, approximately 1000 to 

1500 vessels would be equipped with a 

Type III marine sanitation device 

(holding tank). Four pumpout facilities 

are operational in the Complex, these 

facilities are Roosevelt Marina, Powles 

Marina, Town of Oyster Bay Pumpout 

Barges (2–East and West), and Town of 

Oyster Bay Pumpout Vessel. Based upon 

the criteria cited in the Clean Vessel Act 

(a pumpout facility can adequately 

service 300 to 600 vessels) and based 

upon the vessel population, the 

Complex requires approximately three 

to six pumpout facilities. The harbor has 

five facilities operational which satisfies 

the criteria. An additional pumpout boat 

is available when needed. 

Roosevelt Marina Pumpout is located 

at 40° 52.635′′ N/73° 31.805′′ W. The 

pumpout is available 24 hours per day 

and 365 days a year. The contact for 

information on the pumpout is the 

Town of Oyster Bay, Roosevelt Marina 

Pumpout, VHF Channel 9 or 516–797–

4110. The facility fee is free. Vessel 

limitations are 36 feet in length and 4 

feet in draft at dead low tide. The 

collected vessel sewage is discharged to 

the sewer and treated at the Oyster Bay 

Sewer District Wasterwater Treatment 

Plant. 

Powles Marina Pumpout is at 40° 52′ 

31.17′′ N/73° 28′ 17.94′′ W. The 

pumpout is available 24 hours per day 

from Mid-April to October 31, seven 

days a week. The contact for 

information is the Powles Marina at 

631–367–7670 or VHF Channel 9. The 

facility fee is free. Vessel limitations are 

50 feet in length and 5 feet in draft at 

low tide. The pumpout facility is 

serviced by the town sewage truck. 

Town of Oyster Bay Pumpout Barges 

are located at 40° 52.657′′ N/73° 31.456′′ 

W and 40° 52.804′′ N/73° 32.264′′ W. 

The barges are available Mid-April 

through October 31, 24 hours a day, 7 

days per week. The contact for 

information is Oyster Bay Pumpout 

Barge on VHF Channel 9. The facility 

fee is free. Vessel limitations are 

location dependent. The pumpout 

barges offload vessel sewage at the 

Roosevelt Marina Pumpout. 

The Town of Oyster Bay Pumpout 

Vessel operates in the Complex and is 

available Mid-April through October 31, 

Thursday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. 

until 6 p.m. The contact for information 

is the Town of Oyster Bay Pumpout 

Vessel on VHF Channel 9. The facility 

fee is free. The Roosevelt Marina 

Pumpout is used for disposal sewage 

from the pumpout boat and the marina 

pumpout discharges to the Oyster Bay 

Sewer District wastewater treatment 

plant. 

The EPA hereby makes a tentative 

affirmative determination that adequate 

facilities for the safe and sanitary 

removal and treatment of sewage from 

all vessels are reasonably available for 

the Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor 

Complex in the Counties of Nassau and 

Suffolk, New York. A 30-day period for 

public comment has been opened on 

this matter which may result in a New 

York State prohibition of any sewage 

discharges from vessels in for the Oyster 

Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Complex in the 

Counties of Nassau and Suffolk, New 

York.

Commission, Office of the Secretary,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521, federal 

agencies must obtain approval from 

OMB for each collection of information 

they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of 

information’’ means agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. 44 U.S.C.

section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the 

FTC is providing this opportunity for

OMB extend the existing paperwork 

clearance for the Franchise Rule, 16 CFR

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including
