Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 193 / Friday, October 5, 2007 / Notices
promulgated ‘‘Standards for the Use or
Disposal of Sewage Sludge’’ (40 CFR
part 503) and made revisions to the
NPDES regulations to include the
permitting of facilities/operations that
generate, treat, and/or use/dispose of
sewage sludge. The 503 regulations
were amended on August 4, 1999 (64 FR
42551). The States of South Dakota and
Utah currently are the only States in
Region 8 that have been authorized to
administer the biosolids (sludge)
program. The State of Colorado has not
been authorized permitting authority for
Federal facilities. In 2002 EPA issued
general permits for facilities or
operations that generate, treat, and/or
use/dispose of sewage sludge by means
of land application, landfill, and surface
disposal in the States of CO, MT, ND,
and WY and in Indian country in the
States of CO, MT, ND, SD, WY and UT
(except for the Goshute Indian
Reservation and the Navajo Indian
Reservation). Those general permits
expire on August 16, 2007. Proposed
reissuance of the general permits was
published in the Federal Register on
July 3, 2007 (72 FR 36453). The public
comment period closed on August 2,
2007. A summary of each comment
received and Region 8’s response to the
comments are given in a separate
document, ‘‘Response to Comments on
Reissuance of Region 8 Biosolids
General Permits in 2007.’’ To obtain a
copy of the Response to Comments See
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
above. None of the comments resulted
in a change to the general permits as
proposed. Accordingly, the permits are
being issued without any change from
the public notice draft.
The renewal permits are very similar
to the previous permits. The
administrative burden for most of the
regulated sources is expected to be less
under the general permits than with
individual permits, and it will be much
quicker to obtain permit coverage with
general permits than with individual
permits. The substantive permit
requirements would be essentially the
same with an individual permit or
under the general permit. Facilities or
operations that incinerate sewage sludge
are not eligible for coverage under these
general permits and must apply for an
individual permit. Wastewater lagoon
systems that are not using/disposing of
sewage sludge do not need to apply for
permit coverage unless notified by the
permit issuing authority. The deadlines
for applying for coverage under the
general permits are given in the permits
and the Fact Sheet. Facilities/operations
that had coverage under the previous
general permit and have submitted a
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
timely request for coverage under this
renewal permit are covered
automatically under the permits unless
the permit issuing authority requires the
submittal of a new notice of intent
(NOI).
Other Legal Requirements
Section 401(a)(1) Certification: Since
these permits do not involve discharges
to waters of the United States,
certification under § 401(a)(1) of the
Clean Water Act is not necessary for the
issuance of these permits and
certification will not be requested.
Economic Impact (Executive Order
12866): EPA has determined that the
issuance of this general permit is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
the terms of Executive Order 12866 (58
FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)) and is
therefore not subject to formal OMB
review prior to proposal.
Paperwork Reduction Act: EPA has
reviewed the requirements imposed on
regulated facilities in these proposed
general permits under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 501, et
seq. The information collection
requirements of these permits have
already been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget in submissions
made for the NPDES permit program
under the provisions of the Clean Water
Act.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5
U.S.C 601, et seq., as amended by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act (SBREFA): The RFA
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.
The permit proposed today, however, is
not a ‘‘rule’’ 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, local governments and the private
sector. The permit proposed today,
however, is not a ‘‘rule’’ subject to the
RFA and is therefore not subject to the
requirements of the UMRA.
Appeal of Permit: Any interested
person may appeal the general permits
in the Federal Court of Appeals in
accordance with Section 509(b)(1) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1369(b)(1)).
This appeal must be filed within 120
days of the effective date of the permit.
Persons affected by a general NPDES
permit may not challenge the conditions

of the permit as a right of further EPA
proceedings (see 40 CFR 124.19).
Instead, they may either challenge the
permit in court or apply for an
individual permit and then request a
formal hearing on the issuance or denial
on an individual permit.

et seq.
