facilities in Idaho, pursuant to the
provisions of the Clean Water Act, 33
U.S.C. 1251 et seq. The general permit
authorizes the discharge of treated
groundwater from new and existing
facilities to surface waters of the United
States within the State of Idaho. Existing
dischargers must apply for coverage
within 90 days of the effective date of
the permit by submitting a Notice of
Intent (NOI) in accordance with the
instructions in the permit. New
dischargers whose operations
commence after the effective date of the
general permit must submit a NOI at
least 30 days prior to the
commencement of the discharge. A fact
sheet has also been prepared which sets
forth the principle factual, legal, policy,
and scientific information considered in
the development of the general permit.
The general permit contains a variety
of technology-based and water qualitybased effluent limitations for 55
pollutants of concern commonly found
in contaminated groundwater, along
with administrative and monitoring
requirements, as well as other standard
conditions, prohibitions, and
management practices. Effluent limits
are applied at end-of-pipe with no
mixing zone. However, mixing zones are
available on an individual basis at the
discretion of the Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality (IDEQ) for
pollutants with water quality-based
effluent limits. Mixing zones will be
granted through an individual State
certification that will be attached to
EPA’s authorization to discharge letter.
DATES: Effective Date: The general
NPDES permit shall become effective on
July 1, 2007.
Public Comment: Pursuant to section
402 of the Clean Water Act, EPA
proposed the draft general permit and
solicited comments in the Federal
Register at 71 FR 34131–34132 (June 13,
2006). Notice of the draft permit was
also published in the Idaho Statesman
and the Coeur d’Alene Press. The 60 day
comment period on the draft permit
expired on August 14, 2006. In addition,
copies of the draft permit were sent to
known groundwater remediation
facilities discharging to surface water in
Idaho. Changes have been made from
the draft permit to the final permit in
response to comments received from
facility representatives, government
agencies, and trade groups. All
comments, along with EPA’s responses,
are summarized in the Response to
Comment document. The general
permit, fact sheet, and Response to
Comment document may be obtained by
contacting Robert Rau; USEPA Region
10; 1200 6th Ave, OWW–130; Seattle,

Other Legal Requirements
State Water Quality Standards and
State Certification
Pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act, IDEQ has certified that the
conditions of the general permit comply
with State Water Quality Standards
(IDAPA 58.01.02), including the State’s
antidegradation policy.
Endangered Species Act
26115
Appeal of Permit
Any interested person may appeal the
general permit in the Federal Court of
Appeals in accordance with section
509(b)(1) of the Clean Water Act. This
appeal must be filed within 120 days of
the permit effective date. Persons
affected by the permit may not
challenge the conditions of the permit
in further EPA proceedings (see 40 CFR
124.19). Instead, they may either
challenge the permit in court or apply
for an individual NPDES permit.
Signed this 27th day of April, 2007.

Director, Office of Water and Watersheds.
[FR Doc. E7–8664 Filed 5–7–07; 8:45 am]
EPA has determined that issuance of
the groundwater remediation discharge
general permit will have no affect any
threatened or endangered species,
designated critical habitat, or essential
fish habitat.
BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
Executive Order 12866
Notice of Sunshine Act Meeting
EPA has determined that this general
permit is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under the terms of Executive
Order 12866 and is therefore not subject
to Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) review.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection
requirements of this general permit were
previously approved by the OMB under
the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
and assigned OMB control numbers
2040–0086 (NPDES permit application)
and 2040–0004 (discharge monitoring
reports).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA),
5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires that EPA
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis
for rules subject to the requirements of
5 U.S.C. 553(b) that have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. However, general NPDES
permits are not ‘‘rules’’ subject to the
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b), and is
therefore not subject to the RFA.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Section 201 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), Public
Law 104–4, generally requires federal
agencies to assess the effects of their
‘‘regulatory actions’’ (defined to be the
same as ‘‘rules’’ subject to the RFA) on
tribal, State, and local governments and
the private sector. However, the general
permit issued today is not a ‘‘rule’’
subject to the RFA, and is therefore not
subject to the UMRA.
