Other Legal Requirements 

Endangered Species Act [16 U.S.C. 

1531 et al.]. Section 7 of the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA) requires Federal 

agencies to consult with NOAA 

Fisheries (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) (the Services) 

if their actions have the potential to 

either beneficially or adversely affect 

any threatened or endangered species. 

EPA has analyzed the discharges 

proposed to be authorized by the draft 

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 will have no effect to any 

threatened or endangered species in the 

vicinity of the discharge. Therefore, ESA 

consultation is 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 

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 Draft 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 Draft 

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 Draft 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. 

Authority: This action is taken under the 

authority of Section 402 of the Clean Water 

Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1342. I hereby 

provide public notice of the Draft General 

Permit for Tribal Marine Net Pen 

Enhancement Facilities in Washington State 

in accordance with 40 CFR 124.10. 

Dated: April 23, 2015.

Director, Office of Water and Watersheds,

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This ICR authorizes the 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements established in the 

regulations stated in 40 CFR part 82, 

subpart A and as required by the United 

States’ commitments under The 

Montreal Protocol on Substances that 

Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol). This 

information collection allows EPA to 

monitor the United States’ compliance 

with the Protocol and Title VI of the 

Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 

(CAA). 

Under its Protocol commitments, the 

United States is obligated to cease 

production and import of Class I 

controlled substances excluding 

chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that are 

subject to essential use exemptions, 

methyl bromide that is subject to critical 

use exemptions or exemptions for 

quarantine and preshipment uses, 

previously used material, and material 

that will be transformed, destroyed, or 

exported to developing countries. The 

Protocol also establishes limits and 

reduction schedules leading to the 

eventual phaseout of Class II controlled 

substances with similar exemptions 

beyond the phaseout. The CAA has its 

own limits on production and 

consumption of controlled substances 

that EPA must adhere to and enforce. 

Under 40 CFR 82.13, producers, 

importers, exporters, and distributors of 

Class I ozone-depleting substances 

(ODS) must meet quarterly, annual, and/ 

or transactional recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements. 

The reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for Class I ODS will enable 

EPA to: (1) Ensure compliance with the 

restrictions on production, import, and 

export of Class I controlled substances; 

(2) allow exempted production and 

import for certain uses and the 

consequent tracking of that production 

and import; (3) address industry and 

Federal concerns regarding the illegal 

import of mislabeled used controlled 

substances; (4) satisfy the United States’ 

obligations to report data under Article 

7 of the Montreal Protocol; (5) fulfill 

statutory obligations under Section 

603(b) of the CAA for reporting and 

monitoring; (6) provide information to 

report to the U.S. Congress on the 

production, use, and consumption of 

Class I controlled substances as 

statutorily required in Section 603(d) of 

Title VI of the CAA. 

The reported data will enable EPA to 

maintain compliance with the Protocol 

requirements for annual data 

submission on the production of ODS 

and analyze technical use data to ensure 

that exemptions are used in accordance 

with requirements included in the 

annual authorization rulemakings. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Chemical Producers, Importers, and 

Exporters (CFCs); Research and 

Development (Laboratories); and MeBr 

Producers, Importers, Exporters, 

Distributors, and Applicators. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1143 (total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

annually, occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 2583 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $277,085 (per 

year), includes $5,535 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs.
