determination.
7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13045 because it is not
economically significant as defined in
Executive Order 12866, and because the
EPA does not believe the environmental
health or safety risks addressed by this
action present a disproportionate risk to
children.
8. Executive Order 13211: Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, because it is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
9. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve
technical standards.

10. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes the human health or
environmental risk addressed by this
action will not have a
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority, low-income or indigenous
populations.
11. Executive Order 13158: Marine
Protected Areas
Executive Order 13158 (65 FR 34909,
May 31, 2000) requires EPA to
‘‘expeditiously propose new sciencebased regulations, as necessary, to
ensure appropriate levels of protection
for the marine environment.’’ EPA may
take action to enhance or expand
protection of existing marine protected
areas and to establish or recommend, as
appropriate, new marine protected
areas. The purpose of the Executive
Order is to protect the significant
natural and cultural resources within
the marine environment, which means,
’’those areas of coastal and ocean
waters, the Great Lakes and their
connecting waters, and submerged lands
thereunder, over which the United
States exercises jurisdiction, consistent
with international law.’’
The EPA expects that this proposed
rule will afford additional protection to
the waters of Long Island Sound and
organisms that inhabit them. Building
on the existing protections of the
MPRSA and the ocean dumping

regulations, the proposed regulatory
amendments are designed to promote
the reduction of open-water disposal of
dredged material in Long Island Sound.
12. Executive Order 13547: Stewardship
of the Ocean, Our Coasts, and the Great
Lakes
Section 6(a)(i) of Executive Order
13547, (75 FR 43023, July 19, 2010)
requires, among other things, EPA and
certain other agencies ‘‘. . . to the
fullest extent consistent with applicable
law [to] . . . take such action as
necessary to implement the policy set
forth in section 2 of this order and the
stewardship principles and national
priority objectives as set forth in the
Final Recommendations and subsequent
guidance from the Council.’’ The
policies in section 2 of Executive Order
13547 include, among other things, the
following: ‘‘. . . it is the policy of the
United States to: (i) protect, maintain,
and restore the health and biological
diversity of ocean, coastal, and Great
Lakes ecosystems and resources; [and]
(ii) improve the resiliency of ocean,
coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems,
communities, and economies . . ..’’ As
with Executive Order 13158 (Marine
Protected Areas), the overall purpose of
the Executive Order is to promote
protection of ocean and coastal
environmental resources.
The EPA expects that this proposed
rule will afford additional protection to
the waters of Long Island Sound and the
organisms that inhabit them. Building
on the existing protections of the
MPRSA and the ocean dumping
regulations, the proposed regulatory
amendments are designed to promote
the reduction or elimination of openwater disposal of dredged material in
Long Island Sound.
