Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Issuance of final NPDES General
Permit.
AGENCY:
On November 12, 2008, the
Director, Office of Water and
Watersheds, EPA Region 10, proposed
to issue a general permit to cover federal
aquaculture facilities and aquaculture
facilities in Indian Country in the State
of Washington that meet minimum size
thresholds of 20,000 pounds annual
production and 5,000 pounds of feed
used in the maximum month of feeding.
During the 47-day comment period, EPA
received comments from six people
representing four organizations and has
prepared a Response to Comments
document to explain changes made in
the permit and reasons for not making
changes that were requested. EPA
received certification for the permit
under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act from the Lummi Nation, the Makah
Tribe, the Spokane Tribe, the Tulalip
Tribes, and the Washington Department
of Ecology.
DATES: The permit will become effective
August 1, 2009 and will expire July 31,
2014. The permit issuance date is July
15, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the General
Permit and the Response to Comments
may be requested from Audrey
Washington, EPA Region 10, 1200 Sixth
Avenue, Suite 900, OWW–130, Seattle,
WA 98101–3140, by phone at (206) 553–
0523, or by e-mail:
washington.audrey@epa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Copies of the general permit, fact sheet,
and response to comments are available
on the EPA Region 10 Web site at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. Endangered Species Act
EPA has determined that issuance of
the General Permit is not likely to
adversely affect threatened or
endangered salmonids, birds, or marine
mammals, their designated critical
habitat, or essential fish habitat. EPA
has also determined that issuance of the
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
31425
General Permit will have no effect on
any threatened or endangered marine
reptiles, terrestrial mammals,
invertebrates, or their designated critical
habitats. Consultation with the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and the National
Marine Fisheries Service is ongoing.
B. Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this action from the
review requirements of Executive Order
12866 pursuant to Section 6 of that
order.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection
requirements of this permit were
previously approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (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).
D. 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, general
NPDES permits are not ‘‘rules’’ subject
to the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b)
and are therefore not subject to the
UMRA.
E. Appeal of Permits
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
after the permit issuance date. Persons
affected by the permits may not
challenge the conditions of the permits
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.
Dated: June 23, 2009.
Michael A. Bussell,
Director, Office of Water & Watersheds,
Region 10.
