This document also includes our findings on resubmitted petitions and describes our progress in revising the Lists of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants (Lists) during the period October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2024. Combined with other decisions for individual species that were published separately from this CNOR in the past two years, the current number of species that are candidates for listing or uplisting is 16 (as of September 30, 2024). Identification of candidate species can assist environmental planning efforts by providing advance notice of potential listings, and by allowing landowners, resource managers, States, Tribes, range countries, and other stakeholders to take actions to alleviate threats and thereby possibly remove the need to list species as endangered or threatened.

This action addresses the efficacy and toxicity of dispersants and other chemical and biological agents, as well as public, state, local, and federal officials' concerns regarding their use. Specifically, the Agency is amending the Subpart J regulatory requirements for the NCP Product Schedule in two distinct ways. First, the Agency is adding new listing criteria, revising the efficacy and toxicity testing protocols, and clarifying the evaluation criteria for removing products from the NCP Product Schedule. Second, the Agency is amending requirements for the authorities, notifications, and data reporting when using chemical or biological agents in response to oil discharges to Clean Water Act (CWA) section 311 jurisdictional waters and adjoining shorelines. These requirements are anticipated to encourage the development of safer and more effective spill mitigating products and better target the use of these products to reduce the risks of oil discharges and response technologies to human health and the environment. Further, the amendments are intended to ensure that On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs), Regional Response Teams (RRTs), and Area Committees (ACs) have sufficient information to support agent authorization of use decisions.","document_number":"2023-11904","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/06/12/2023-11904/national-oil-and-hazardous-substances-pollution-contingency-plan-product-schedule-listing-and","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-06-12/pdf/2023-11904.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-11904.pdf?1686150915","publication_date":"2023-06-12","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"excerpts":"toxicity testing results for the product's original listing submission yet may still meet the applicable threshold(s) that were required to list the product on the NCP Product Schedule.
