That analysis shows that compliance with the permit requirements will not result in a significant impact on dischargers, including small businesses, covered by this permit. EPA Region 6, therefore, concludes that the permit being proposed today will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Section 201 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), Pub. L. 104–4, generally requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their ‘‘regulatory actions’’ on State, local, and tribal governments and the private sector. UMRA uses the term ‘‘regulatory actions’’ to refer to regulations. (See, e.g., UMRA section 201, ‘‘Each agency shall * * * assess the effects of Federal regulatory actions * * * (other than to the extent that such regulations incorporate requirements specifically set forth in law)’’ (emphasis added)). UMRA section 102 defines ‘‘regulation’’ by reference to section 658 of Title 2 of the U.S. Code, which in turn defines ‘‘regulation’’ and ‘‘rule’’ by reference to section 601(2) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). That section of the RFA defines ‘‘rule’’ as ‘‘any rule for which the agency publishes a notice of proposed rulemaking pursuant to section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), or any other law * * *’’ NPDES general permits are not ‘‘rules’’ under the APA and thus not subject to the APA requirement to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking. NPDES general permits are also not subject to such a requirement under the Clean Water Act (CWA). While EPA publishes a notice to solicit public comment on draft general permits, it does so pursuant to the CWA section 402(a) requirement to provide ‘‘an opportunity for a hearing.’’ Thus, NPDES general permits are not ‘‘rules’’ for RFA or UMRA purposes. EPA thinks it is unlikely that this permit issuance would contain a Federal requirement that might result in expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any one year. The Agency also believes that the permit issuance would not significantly nor uniquely affect small governments. For UMRA purposes, ‘‘small governments’’ is defined by reference to the definition of ‘‘small governmental jurisdiction’’ under the RFA. (See UMRA section 102(1), referencing 2 U.S.C. 658, which references section 601(5) of the RFA.) ‘‘Small governmental jurisdiction’’ means governments of cities, counties, VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:03 Dec 27, 2006 Jkt 211001 towns, etc., with a population of less than 50,000, unless the agency establishes an alternative definition. The permit issuance also would not uniquely affect small governments because compliance with the permit conditions affects small governments in the same manner as any other entities seeking coverage under the permit.
