SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Endangered Species Act [16 U.S.C. 1531
et al.]: EPA has analyzed the discharges
proposed to be authorized by the
General Permit, and their potential to
adversely affect threatened or
endangered species or their designated
critical habitat areas in the vicinity of
the discharges. Based on this analysis,
EPA has determined that the issuance of
this permit will have no effect to any
threatened or endangered species in the
vicinity of the discharge. Therefore, ESA
consultation was not required.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) [42 U.S.C. 4321 et.seq.] and
Other Federal Requirements:
Regulations at 40 CFR 122.49 list the
federal laws that may apply to the
issuance of permits i.e., ESA, National
Historic Preservation Act, the Coastal
Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments
(CZARA), NEPA, and Executive Orders,
among others. The NEPA compliance
program requires analysis of
information regarding potential impacts,
development and analysis of options to
avoid or minimize impacts, and
development and analysis of measures
to mitigate adverse impacts. EPA
determined that no Environmental
Assessments (EAs) or Environmental
Impact Statements (EISs) are required
under NEPA. EPA also determined that
CZARA does not apply.
Essential Fish Habitat (EFH): The
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management
and Conservation Act requires EPA to
consult with NOAA–NMFS when a
proposed discharge has the potential to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:00 Sep 22, 2015
Jkt 235001
adversely affect a designated EFH. The
EFH regulations define an adverse effect
as ‘‘any impact which reduces quality
and/or quantity of EFH . . . [and] may
include direct (e.g. contamination or
physical disruption), indirect (e.g. loss
of prey, reduction in species’ fecundity),
site-specific or habitat-wide impacts,
including individual, cumulative, or
synergistic consequences of actions.’’
NMFS may recommend measures for
attachment to the federal action to
protect EFH; however, such
recommendations are advisory, and not
prescriptive in nature. EPA has
evaluated the General Permit and has
made the determination that issuance of
the General Permit will have no effect
on EFH.
Executive Order 12866: The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
exempts this action from the review
requirements of Executive Order 12866
pursuant to Section 6 of that order.
Economic Impact [Executive Order
12291]: The EPA has reviewed the effect
of Executive Order 12291 on this
General Permit and has determined that
it is not a major rule pursuant to that
Order.
Paperwork Reduction Act [44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.]: The EPA has reviewed the
requirements imposed on regulated
facilities in the General Permit and finds
them consistent with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.
Regulatory Flexibility Act [5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.]: The Regulatory Flexibility
Act (RFA) requires that EPA prepare an
initial regulatory flexibility analysis for
rules subject to the requirements of the
Administrative Procedures Act [APA, 5
U.S.C. 553] that have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. However, EPA has concluded
that NPDES General Permits are not
rulemakings under the APA, and thus
not subject to APA rulemaking
requirements or 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, General
NPDES Permits are not rules subject to
the requirements of the APA, and are,
therefore, not subject to the UMRA.
Appeal of Permit
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
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
U.S.C. 1369(b)(1). This appeal must be
filed within 120 days of the General
Permit issuance date. Affected persons
may not challenge the conditions of the
General Permit in further EPA
proceedings (see 40 CFR 124.19).
Instead, they may either challenge the
General Permit in court or apply for an
individual NPDES permit.
Authority: This action is taken under the
authority of Section 402 of the Clean Water
Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1342.
Dated: September 9, 2015.

impact which reduces quality and/or quantity of EFH . . . [and] may
include direct (e.g. contamination or physical disruption), indirect

Executive Order 12866: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
exempts this action from the review requirements of Executive Order
12866 pursuant to Section 6 of that order.
Economic Impact [Executive Order 12291]: The EPA has reviewed the
effect of Executive Order 12291 on this General Permit and has
determined that it is not a major rule pursuant to that Order.
Paperwork Reduction Act [44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.]: The EPA has
reviewed the requirements imposed on regulated facilities in the

Regulatory Flexibility Act [5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.]: The Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) requires that EPA prepare an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis for rules subject to the requirements of the
Administrative Procedures Act [APA, 5 U.S.C. 553] that have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. However,
EPA has concluded that NPDES General Permits are not rulemakings under
the APA, and thus not subject to APA rulemaking requirements or 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, General NPDES Permits are not rules subject to the
requirements of the APA, and are, therefore, not subject to the UMRA.
Appeal of Permit
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 General Permit issuance date. Affected persons may not
challenge the conditions of the General Permit in further EPA
proceedings (see 40 CFR 124.19). Instead, they may either challenge the
General Permit in court or apply for an individual NPDES permit.
Authority: This action is taken under the authority of Section
402 of the Clean Water Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1342.
