Correction

In proposed rule document 2023-27758, appearing on pages 88315-88336 in the issue of Thursday, December 21, 2023, make the following correction:

On page 88326, in the table titled “Table 7: Alternative 1: Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Expressed as Concentration (mg/L)”, the table is corrected to appear as set forth below:

Table 7—Alternative 1: Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Expressed as Concentration

[mg/L]

Season Water temperature (°C) Magnitude (mg/L) Duration Exceedance frequency
Spawning and Larval Development (March 1-June 30) * 23.3 (14.7) * 5.6 (6.7) Daily Average 10% (12 Days Cumulative).
Juvenile Development (July 1-October 31) +  N/A 5.4 Daily Average 10% (12 Days Cumulative).
  +  N/A 6.1 Daily Average 50% (61 Days Cumulative).
Overwintering (November 1-February 28/29) * 12.4 (5.6) * 7.0 (8.3) Daily Average 10% (12 Days Cumulative).
*  The 90th percentile of seasonal water temperature and corresponding criterion is used for the main estimate, while the average water temperature and corresponding criterion is shown in parentheses.
+  Water temperature is not applicable during the Juvenile Development season because the criteria magnitudes are derived from the EPA's Atlantic Sturgeon cohort model, described in section IV.C.1 of this preamble.
