Commission, a copy of the
communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are

Unless the Commission determines that
the prohibited communication and any
responses thereto should become a part
of the decisional record, the prohibited
off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in
reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to
respond to any facts or contentions
made in a prohibited off-the-record

the Commission place the prohibited
communication and responses thereto
in the decisional record. The
Commission will grant such a request
only when it determines that fairness so
requires. Any person identified below as
having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the
document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable

Final Issuance of General NPDES
Permits (GP) for Small Suction
Dredges in Idaho
Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 10.
ACTION: Final notice of reissuance of a
general permit.
AGENCY:
EPA is issuing a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) General Permit (IDG–37–0000)
to placer mining operations in Idaho for
small suction dredges (intake nozzle
size of 5 inches in diameter or a
diametric equivalent or less and with
equipment rated at 15 horsepower or
less). On January 22, 2010, EPA
proposed the GP and there was a 45 day
comment period. Public Informational
Workshops were held in Grangeville,
Boise, Salmon and Idaho Falls the week
of February 22. During the comment
period, EPA received many comments
and decided to make changes to the
draft based on the comments received.
On May 1, 2012, EPA re-noticed the GP
with a new Fact Sheet requesting new
comments. The comment period ended
on June 1, 2012.
DATES: The issuance date of the GP is
April 4, 2013, the date of publication of
this notice. The GP will be effective May
6, 2013. Facilities may start submitting
Notices of Intent (NOI) to receive
coverage under the GP.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the GP and
Response to Comments are available
upon request. Written requests may be
submitted to EPA, Region 10, 1200 Sixth
Avenue, Suite 900, OWW–130, Seattle,
WA 98101. Electronic requests may be
mailed to: washington.audrey@epa.gov
or godsey.cindi@epa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
GP, Fact Sheet and Response to
Comments along with detailed maps
may be found on the Region 10 Web site

Requests by telephone may be made
to Audrey Washington at (206) 553–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA requested final certification
under the Clean Water Act § 401 from
the State of Idaho and Tribal
governments. EPA received certification
from the Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality in a letter dated
March 8, 2013 that the subject
discharges comply with the applicable
provisions of Sections 208(e), 301, 302,
306 and 307 of the Clean Water Act.
EPA received letters from the Coeur
d’Alene Tribe (May 23, 2012) and the
Shoshone Bannock Tribe (March 20,
2013) denying certification. As a result
of Tribal government-to-government
consultation and coordination, the GP
does not cover any of the five
Reservations with land within the
boundaries of the State of Idaho.
EPA prepared a Biological Evaluation
for consultation with the US Fish and
Wildlife Service and the National
Marine Fisheries Service. EPA received
concurrence from both Services on a
Not Likely to Adversely Affect
determination.
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.
Regulatory Flexibility Act: Under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal agency
must prepare an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis ‘‘for any proposed
rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is required
by section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), or any other law,
to publish general notice of proposed
rulemaking.’’ The RFA exempts from
this requirement any rule that the
issuing agency certifies ‘‘will not, if
promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.’’ EPA has
concluded that NPDES general permits
are permits, not rulemakings, under the
APA and thus not subject to APA
rulemaking requirements or the RFA.
Notwithstanding that general permits
are not subject to the RFA, EPA has
determined that these general permits,
as issued, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
