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.
