Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 68 / Monday, April 9, 2012 / Notices 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). 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 are 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. Appeal of Permit pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 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, 33 U.S.C. 1369(b)(1). 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. Dated: March 29, 2012. Michael A. Bussell, Director, Office of Water and Watersheds, Region 10, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
