request to modify its State Operating
Permit Programs EPA-authorized
program to allow electronic reporting.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
emcdonald on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On August 8, 2010 the New York
State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) submitted an
amended application titled ‘‘Air
Compliance and Emission Electronic
Reporting System’’ for modification of
its EPA-authorized Part 70 program
under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed
NYSDEC’s request to modify Part 70—
‘‘State Operating Permit Programs’’ and,
based on this review, EPA determined
that the application met the standards
for approval of authorized program
modification set out in 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision
to approve New York State’s request to
modify its Part 70—State Operating
Permit Programs to allow electronic
reporting under 40 CFR part 70 is being
published in the Federal Register.
NYSDEC was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program
listed above.

Proposed Modification of a General
NPDES Permit for Small Suction
Dredging—Permit Number IDG–37–
0000
Region 10, Environmental
Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed modification of a
general permit.
AGENCY:
EPA proposes to modify a
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) General
Permit for placer mining operations in
Idaho using small suction dredges
(intake nozzle size of 5 inches in
diameter or less and with equipment
rated at 15 horsepower or less). When
the 2013 GP was issued, the language of
the GP contained a discrepancy with the
total maximum daily load (TMDL) that
was issued for Mores Creek. The GP did
not include any reference to the
tributaries of Mores, Elk or Grimes
creeks that were included in the loading
allocations of the TMDL. This
modification proposes to rectify that
discrepancy by including a reference to
the tributaries within the GP
requirements for Mores, Grimes and Elk
creeks and listing the tributaries in
Appendix F to the GP. Other parts of the
GP are not open for public comment at
this time.
DATES: Interested persons may submit
comments on the proposed modification
of the general permit to EPA, Region 10
at the address below. Comments must
be postmarked by February 3, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed
modified General Permit should be sent
to Director, Office of Water and
Watersheds; USEPA Region 10; 1200
Sixth Avenue Suite 900, OWW–130;
Seattle, Washington 98101. Comments
may also be submitted by fax to (206)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

permit and Statement of Basis are
available upon request. Requests may be
made to Audrey Washington at (206)

Permits’’ then ‘‘Draft Permits for Idaho
Dischargers.’’
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 this GP, as issued, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities.
