However, Region 9 will forward the draft permit and fact sheet to NMFS for any comments on Region 9’s tentative conclusion concerning the potential effects on EFH. G. Permit Appeal Procedures Within 120 days following notice of EPA’s final decision for the general permit under 40 CFR 124.15, any interested person may appeal the permit decision in the Federal Court of Appeals in accordance with Section 509(b)(1) of the CWA. Persons affected by a general permit may not challenge the conditions of a general permit as a right in further Agency proceedings. They may instead either challenge the general permit in court, or apply for an individual permit as specified at 40 CFR 122.21 (and authorized at 40 CFR 122.28), and then petition the Environmental Appeals Board to review any condition of the individual permit (40 CFR 124.19). H. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires that EPA prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis for regulations that have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. The permit renewal proposed today is not a ‘‘rule’’ subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act. EPA prepared a regulatory flexibility analysis, however, on the promulgation of the Offshore Subcategory guidelines on which many of the permit’s effluent limitations are based. That analysis has shown that issuance of this permit would not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. I. Paperwork Reduction Act The information collection required by this proposed permit has been approved by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., in submissions made for the NPDES permit program and assigned OMB control numbers 2040– 0086 (NPDES permit application) and 2040–0004 (discharge monitoring reports). tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with Authority: Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
