The permit was signed on December 18, 2008 and became effective on December 19, 2008. EPA subsequently noticed final issuance of the VGP for the states of Hawaii and Alaska, after receipt of a certification pursuant to section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) from Hawaii and a final response on the national consistency determination required by section 307(c)(1) of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) from Alaska, which was signed on February 2, 2009, with an effective date of February 6, 2009. Today’s notice of availability provides notice of EPA’s deletion of specific State section 401 certification conditions from Part 6 of the VGP for the States of New Jersey, Illinois, and California.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:01 Mar 10, 2009 Jkt 217001 Pursuant to Clean Water Act section 401(a) and EPA’s implementing regulations, EPA may not issue a NPDES permit (including the VGP) until the appropriate State certifications have been granted or waived. 40 CFR 124.53(a). Through the certification process, States were given the opportunity, before the VGP was issued, to add conditions to the permit they believe are necessary to ensure that the permit complies with the Clean Water Act and other appropriate requirements of State law, including State water quality standards. New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection issued its section 401 certification for the VGP on September 24, 2008, and modified its certification on February 2, 2009. This modification deleted certification conditions #1 and #2. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued its section 401 certification for the VGP on November 21, 2008, and modified its certification on February 4, 2009. This modification deleted certification condition #9. California State Water Resources Control Board issued its section 401 certification for the VGP on December 17, 2008, and modified its certification on February 4, 2009. This modification deleted certification conditions #1, #2, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #13, #14, #15, and 7.1 and 7.2 from certification condition #16 and Attachments 4, 5, and 6 from certification condition #17. Pursuant to EPA’s implementing regulations at 40 CFR 124.55(b), EPA may, at the request of a permittee, modify the VGP based on a modified certification received after final agency action on the permit ‘‘only to the extent necessary to delete any conditions based on a condition in a certification invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an appropriate State board or agency.’’ 40 CFR 124.55(b). In accordance with this provision, EPA has removed these deleted certification conditions from the VGP.1 EPA’s letters notifying the requesting permittees that their requests to delete the permit conditions were granted, and a copy of the VGP reflecting those deletions, can be found 1 In addition, the regulations at 40 CFR 124.55(b) also require that EPA receive a request from a permittee for the deleted certification conditions to be removed from the permit. EPA received such requests to remove deleted conditions from Express Marine Inc. on February 3, 2009 in New Jersey, Canal Barge Company Inc. on February 4, 2009 in Illinois and from Foss Maritime Company on February 5, 2009 in California.
