SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866: The Office of Management and Budget exempted this action from the review requirements of Executive Order 12866 pursuant to section 6 of that order. The State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), has certified that the subject dischargers PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30405 comply with the applicable provisions of section 208(e), 301, 302, 306 and 307 of the Clean Water Act, and that the general permit is in compliance with the Standards of the Alaska Coastal Management Program. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA): Under the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal agency must prepare an initial regulatory flexibility analysis ‘‘for any proposed rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is required by section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), or any other law, to publish general notice of proposed rule making. The RFA exempts from this requirement any rule that the issuing agency certifies ‘‘will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact of a substantial number of small entities.’’ EPA has concluded that NPDES general permits are permits, not rulemakings, under the APA and thus not subject to APA rulemaking requirements or RFA.
