By letter dated November 24, 2004, we requested concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer that approval of Ohio EPA to implement a sewage sludge management program would not have an adverse impact on historical and archeological resources. We received concurrence on January 4, 2005. C. Other Provisions Based on General Counsel Opinion 78–7 (April 18, 1978), EPA has long considered a determination to approve or deny a State Clean Water Act (CWA) program submission to constitute an adjudication because an ‘‘approval,’’ within the meaning of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), constitutes a ‘‘licence,’’ which, in turn, is the product of an ‘‘adjudication.’’ For this reason, the statutes and Executive Orders that apply to rulemaking action are not applicable here.
