12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have determined that this action is one
of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the
establishment of a temporary safety
zone on the waters of the Savannah
River that will be enforced for a total of
five hours. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

Ocean Dumping; Designation of Ocean
Dredged Material Disposal Sites
Offshore of Yaquina Bay, Oregon
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Final rule.
The EPA is finalizing the
designation of two new ocean dredged
material disposal (ODMD) sites offshore
of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, pursuant to the
Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act, as amended (MPRSA).
On April 5, 2012, the EPA published a
proposed rule to designate the sites and
opened a public comment period under
Docket ID No. EPA–R10–OW–2012–
0197. The comment period closed on
May 7, 2012. The EPA received several
comments on the proposed rule. The
EPA’s responses are included in section
2.c of this final rule labeled ‘‘Response
to Comments Received.’’ The EPA
decided to finalize the action to
designate the new sites because the new
sites are needed to serve the long-term
need for a location to dispose of
material dredged from the Yaquina
River navigation channel, and to
provide a location for the disposal of
dredged material for persons or entities
who have received a permit for such
disposal. The newly designated sites are
subject to ongoing monitoring and
management to ensure continued
protection of the marine environment.
DATES: The effective date of this final
action shall be October 9, 2012.
Docket: All documents in the docket
are listed in the www.regulations.gov
index. Although listed in the index,
some information may not be publicly
available, e.g., confidential business
information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, will be publicly

2. Background
a. History of Disposal Sites Offshore of
Yaquina Bay, Oregon
The Corps historically used the
general area offshore of Yaquina Bay for
dredged material disposal. In 1977, an
Interim ODMD site offshore of Yaquina
Bay received an EPA interim
designation and was used by the Corps
for dredged material disposal after 1977
and prior to 1986 (Figure 1). Because of
increased mounding in the Interim Site

and its potential adverse effect on
navigation safety, the Corps selected an
alternate ODMD site, the ‘‘Adjusted
Site,’’ under the authority of Section 103
of the MPRSA, with the EPA’s
concurrence. The Corps began to use
this ‘‘Adjusted Site’’ in 1986. By 1990,
dredged material had accumulated in
the Adjusted Site to an extent that
portions of the Site had to be avoided,
and careful placement of material was
necessary on specific portions of the
Adjusted Site. In 2000, the Corps ceased
