Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated Authority, 11875-11876 [E7-4249]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 14, 2007 / Notices cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Federal regulations at 40 CFR 123.62(b)(2) . EPA received no comments in response to the public notice. As part of EPA’s obligation under the Endangered Species Act, EPA prepared a biological evaluation to determine if approval of the revised Regulations Governing the Control of Water Pollution will adversely affect threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat in Delaware. The biological evaluation found that EPA’s approval would not adversely affect threatened or endangered species. EPA shared this evaluation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Services and they concurred with EPA’s finding on October 9, 2003 and November 7, 2003, respectively. Regulatory Flexibility Act Based on General Counsel Opinion 78–7 (April 18, 1978) EPA has long considered a determination to approve or deny a State NPDES program submittal to constitute an adjudication because an ‘‘approval,’’ within the meaning of the APA, constitutes a ‘‘license,’’ 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. Among these are provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. Under the RFA, whenever a Federal agency proposes or promulgates a rule under Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), after being required by that section or any other law to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking, the Agency must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for the rule, unless the Agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. If the Agency does not certify the rule, the regulatory flexibility analysis must describe and assess the impact of a rule on small entities affected by the rule. Even if this approval of revisions to Delaware’s NPDES program were a rule subject to the RFA, the Agency would certify that approval of the State’s revised NPDES program would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. EPA’s action to approve an NPDES program merely recognizes that the necessary elements of an NPDES program have already been enacted as a matter of State law; it would, therefore, impose no additional obligations upon those subject to the State’s program. Accordingly, the Regional Administrator would certify VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:03 Mar 13, 2007 Jkt 211001 that this approval, even if a rule, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Notice of Decision: I hereby provide public notice of the Agency’s approval, pursuant to 40 CFR 123.62, of the State of Delaware’s revisions to its Regulations Governing the Control of Water Pollution, as consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act NPDES Program. Dated: February 15, 2007. William T. Wisniewski, Acting Regional Administrator, Region 3. [FR Doc.
