Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 174 / Monday, September 13, 2021 / Notices II. Background Section 24(c) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)) authorizes States to register ‘‘additional uses of federally registered pesticides to meet special local needs.’’ Pursuant to FIFRA section 24(c), EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR 162.154(h) require States to notify EPA of such special local needs registrations. EPA’s regulations pertaining to such special local need registrations state that ‘‘the Administrator may disapprove, on any reasonable grounds, any state [special local needs] registration . . . Grounds for disapproval . . . include . . . [p]robable creation of unreasonable adverse effects on man or the environment by the registered use[and f]ailure of information submitted by the State to support the State’s decision to issue the registration under the standards established by § 162.153.’’ 40 CFR 162.154(a)(1). In addition, FIFRA Section 24(c)(1) precludes state SLN registrations ‘‘if registration for such use has . . . previously been denied, disapproved, or canceled by the Administrator, or voluntarily canceled by the registrant subsequent to issuance of a notice of intent to cancel because of health or environmental concerns about an ingredient contained in the pesticide product.’’ 40 CFR 162.152(a)(3). III. Disapproval of Special Local Need Registrations On March 15, 2021, EPA disapproved special local need registrations from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to extend the application cut-off dates to July 31 for over-the-top (OTT) use of the following dicamba products on dicamba-tolerant soybean and dicambatolerant cotton: 1. EPA SLN No. NC200005—XtendiMax® with Vapor Grip® Technology (EPA Reg. No. 264–1210); containing dicamba. 2. EPA SLN No. NC210001—Engenia® Herbicide (EPA Reg.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50883 On May 11, 2021 (86 FR 25856), EPA published a notice of final determination, ‘‘Clean Water Act: No-Discharge Zones for Vessel Sewage in Maryland and Virginia.’’ The notice explained EPA’s determination that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the thirteen waterbodies located in Anne Arundel County for which Maryland sought to establish a no-discharge zone for vessel sewage under Clean Water Act section 312(f)(3). The document also provided one of the geographic coordinates from an existing no-discharge zone for Perrin River, Virginia, published at 85 FR 59796 on September 23, 2020. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Need for Correction As published, the notice of the final determination misidentified the geographic coordinates of the nodischarge zone boundaries for Bodkin Creek, Magothy and Little Magothy Rivers, Podickory Creek, Sandy Point/ Mezick Pond, Severn River, Fishing Creek, and South River waterbodies. The notice explained these boundaries in narrative terms; the earlier-published geographic coordinates did not correspond to the narrative descriptions of the boundaries for which EPA made the determination. Upon identifying the errors, EPA confirmed the correct geographic coordinates with Maryland. EPA finds that there is good cause to make this correction without prior notice and opportunity to comment on the basis that notice and comment is unnecessary and would not be in the public interest. The change merely conforms numeric geographic coordinates to the clear narrative descriptions and detailed maps of the no-discharge zone boundaries that were included in Maryland’s application and upon which EPA’s approval was based. As such, this correction does not alter EPA’s earlier determination. EPA further determines that good cause exists to make the change effective upon publication, rather than delay the effective date, because the narrative boundary descriptions are clear, rendering a delayed effective date unnecessary. In addition, public interest requires prompt confirmation of the correct numeric geographic coordinates further describing the no-discharge zone boundaries.

Clean Water Act: No-Discharge Zones for Vessel Sewage in Maryland 
and Virginia; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice--final determination; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a 
notice of final determination published on May 11, 2021. EPA determined 
that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and 
treatment of sewage from all vessels were reasonably available to 
support the State's prohibition of vessel sewage discharges in thirteen 
waterbodies in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, but has since identified 
errors in the geographic coordinates that correspond to the boundaries 
of the no-discharge zones as described in the earlier notice. This 
notice simply corrects those geographic coordinate errors; it does not 
otherwise change EPA's May 11, 2021 final determination.

DATES: This correction is effective on September 13, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ferry Akbar Buchanan, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency--Region III. Telephone: (215) 814-2570; 
email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 11, 2021 (86 FR 25856), EPA published 
a notice of final determination, ``Clean Water Act: No-Discharge Zones 
for Vessel Sewage in Maryland and Virginia.'' The notice explained 
EPA's determination that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary 
removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably 
available for the thirteen waterbodies located in Anne Arundel County 
for which Maryland sought to establish a no-discharge zone for vessel 
sewage under Clean Water Act section 312(f)(3). The document also 
provided one of the geographic coordinates from an existing no-
discharge zone for Perrin River, Virginia, published at 85 FR 59796 on 
September 23, 2020.

Need for Correction

    As published, the notice of the final determination misidentified 
the geographic coordinates of the no-discharge zone boundaries for 
Bodkin Creek, Magothy and Little Magothy Rivers, Podickory Creek, Sandy 
Point/Mezick Pond, Severn River, Fishing Creek, and South River 
waterbodies. The notice explained these boundaries in narrative terms; 
the earlier-published geographic coordinates did not correspond to the 
narrative descriptions of the boundaries for which EPA made the 
determination. Upon identifying the errors, EPA confirmed the correct 
geographic coordinates with Maryland. EPA finds that there is good 
cause to make this correction without prior notice and opportunity to 
comment on the basis that notice and comment is unnecessary and would 
not be in the public interest. The change merely conforms numeric 
geographic coordinates to the clear narrative descriptions and detailed 
maps of the no-discharge zone boundaries that were included in 
Maryland's application and upon which EPA's approval was based. As 
such, this correction does not alter EPA's earlier determination. EPA 
further determines that good cause exists to make the change effective 
upon publication, rather than delay the effective date, because the 
narrative boundary descriptions are clear, rendering a delayed 
effective date unnecessary. In addition, public interest requires 
prompt confirmation of the correct numeric geographic coordinates 
further describing the no-discharge zone boundaries.
