Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 133 / Thursday, July 13, 2017 / Notices effective date, the MS4s would have to update portions of their existing Stormwater Management Plans. Given the status of the litigation, the possibility that the parties will engage in ADR and that the Agency may decide to make changes to the permit, the Agency believes it is reasonable to defer imposition of these obligations and costs for the period of the postponement. Moreover, postponing the effective date by one year will have the benefit of matching the Massachusetts permit’s effective date with the effective date of the New Hampshire small MS4 general permit, which EPA Region 1 issued on January 18, 2017 and will take effect on July 1, 2018. Various parties have filed petitions for review of the New Hampshire permit in the D.C. Circuit, as well as one petition in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. EPA is also interested in exploring the use of ADR in that case. EPA has filed a motion with the First Circuit to transfer the petition that was filed there to the D.C. Circuit so that all of the New Hampshire petitions may be consolidated. Aligning the effective dates could promote efficiency in the resolution of both cases by facilitating the development of a unified ADR process that would address those issues raised in both permit appeals. C. Conclusion Based on the above, EPA concluded that justice requires postponement of the effective date. Thus EPA postponed the July 1, 2017 effective date of the Massachusetts permit for one year to July 1, 2018. Dated: June 30, 2017. Ken Moraff, Acting Deputy Regional Administrator, EPA Region 1.
