IV. Cost Impacts of the Draft 2026 PGP Based on the cost analyses performed for EPA’s previously issued PGPs, EPA expects the costs that covered entities, including small businesses, will bear to comply with this permit will be minimal. Since the draft 2026 PGP is largely similar to the 2021 PGP, EPA projects that the proposed changes will have minimal incremental cost impacts on regulated entities. Copies of EPA’s economic analyses and cost impact analyses for EPA’s previously issued PGPs are available in the docket for this permit. See Appendix D of the draft 2026 PGP Fact Sheet for further discussion of the potential incremental costs of the draft 2026 PGP. V. Statutory and Executive Orders Reviews A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review The draft 2026 PGP is not a significant regulatory action and was therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 B. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All EPA believes that the human health and environmental conditions that exist prior to this action is not likely to result in disproportionate and adverse effects on communities with EJ concerns. As part of the general permit development process, EPA reviews available information to evaluate whether issuance of a permit could affect VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Nov 27, 2023 Jkt 262001 overburdened communities. The information supporting this Executive Order review is contained in Appendix E of the draft 2026 PGP Fact Sheet. Authority: Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. David W. Cash, Regional Administrator, EPA Region 1. C. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments Christine Ash, Acting Director, Water Division, EPA Region 2. This action does not have tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. It will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on federally recognized tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. EPA directly implements the NPDES Program, including the 2026 PGP when it is finalized, in Indian Country; therefore, in compliance with EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes, EPA consulted with tribal officials early in the process to provide tribes an opportunity to have meaningful and timely input into the renewal of the PGP. To gain an understanding of, and where necessary, to address tribal implications of the draft 2026 PGP, EPA conducted the following activities: • August 22, 2023—EPA emailed notification letters to tribal leaders initiating consultation and coordination on the renewal of the PGP. The initiation letter was also posted on EPA’s Tribal Consultation Opportunities Tracking System (TCOTS) at https:// tcots.epa.gov/. • September 19 and 21, 2023—EPA held two informational webinars open to all tribal representatives and reserved the last part of each webinar for official consultation comments. Eighteen tribal representatives participated in the webinar. No official comments were received during the webinar. The presentation was posted on the tribal portal website at https://tcots.epa.gov. EPA received one comment from tribes and tribal organizations during the consultation and coordination period. Records of the tribal informational webinar and a consultation summary are included in the docket for this proposed action (Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2023– 0268). EPA has considered the comment received in the proposal. The Agency specifically solicits additional comment on this proposed permit during the public comment period. EPA also notes that as part of the finalization of this proposed permit, the Agency will complete the Clean Water Act section 401 certification procedures with all authorized tribes where this permit will apply.
