Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 86 / Thursday, May 6, 2021 / Notices
facilities meeting the eligibility
requirements outlined in Part 4 of this
General Permit must submit a notice of
intent (NOI) in accordance with 40 CFR
122.28(b)(2)(i) and (ii) within 60 days of
the effective date of this General Permit.
The NOI must be submitted
electronically through EPA’s NPDES
eReporting Tool (NeT) at https://
cdx.epa.gov. EPA has determined that
the 12 hatcheries identified in
Attachment 1 of the Fact Sheet all meet
the eligibility requirements for coverage
under the General Permit and may be
authorized to discharge under the
General Permit by this type of
notification.
Endangered Species Act: Section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act [16 U.S.C.
1431 et al.] (ESA) requires Federal
agencies to consult with the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine
Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) if their actions have the
potential to either beneficially or
adversely affect any threatened or
endangered species. With respect to
species under the jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries, EPA has analyzed the
discharges authorized by the General
Permit, and their potential to adversely
affect any of the 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 is not likely to adversely
affect any threatened or endangered
species in the vicinity of the discharge.
NOAA Fisheries has concurred with
this determination. With respect to
species under the jurisdiction of
USFWS, the applicant must assess sitespecific species impacts and seek input
from USFWS directly. The NOI must
document that one of the USFWS
eligibility criteria is met at the time of
submission or the facility is not eligible
for coverage. Because each NOI is
screened for eligibility upon
submission, EPA has determined that
the issuance of this permit is not likely
to adversely affect any threatened or
endangered species in the vicinity of the
discharge.
Essential Fish Habitat (EFH): Under
the 1996 Amendments (Pub. L. 104–
267) to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (1998)), EPA is
required to consult with NOAA
Fisheries if EPA’s actions or proposed
actions that it funds, permits or
undertakes ‘‘may adversely impact any
essential fish habitat’’ (EFH). 16 U.S.C.
1855(b). EPA finds that the general

permit action minimizes adverse effects
to aquatic organisms, including those
with designated EFH in the receiving
waters, including Atlantic salmon and
the life stages of a number of coastal
EFH designated species. EPA has made
the determination that additional
mitigation is not warranted under
section 305(b)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Act and transmitted that
determination to NOAA Fisheries.
NOAA Fisheries did not propose
additional mitigation measures for
protection of EFH.
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA): Facilities which adversely
affect properties listed or eligible for
listing in the National Registry of
Historic Places under the NHPA are not
authorized to discharge under the
General Permit. Based on the nature and
location of the discharges, EPA has
determined that the 12 hatcheries
eligible for authorization under the
General Permit do not have the potential
to affect a property that is either listed
or eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Coastal Zone Management Act (CZM):
An approved Coastal Zone Management
Program (CZMP) must make a
determination that a federally licensed
activity affecting the coastal zone is
consistent with the Coastal Zone
Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq.
(CZMA). In the case of general permits,
EPA has the responsibility for making
the consistency certification request and
submitting it to the state for
concurrence. EPA requested consistency
determinations from both the
Massachusetts and the New Hampshire
CZMPs and received determinations
that the General Permit is consistent
with the enforceable policies of both
CZMPs.
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 permit.
Authority: This action is being taken under
the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
Dated: May 3, 2021.
