Title: ●Repeal of Regulation Identifying Dumping Sites Designated on an Interim Basis Under the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act
Abstract: This final rule would remove 40 CFR 228.14 "Dumping sites designated on an interim basis" from the Ocean Dumping regulations. Under section 506 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1992, the authority to use these dumping sites expired in January 1997. Though no interim sites have been designated since the WRDA amendments, the interim site designation has been revised three times since then to delete individual sites that were designated on a final basis. The removal of section 228.14 is needed as a housekeeping measure to implement the 1992 Act. Additionally, the regulated community is confused by the fact that the interim sites are listed in the regulation yet unavailable for use.
