Region 4] 

EPA’s Approval of Florida’s Clean 

Water Act Section 404 Assumption 

Request 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On August 20, 2020, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

received from the Governor of the State 

of Florida a complete program 

submission to assume regulating 

discharges of dredged or fill material 

into waters within the jurisdiction of the 

State in accordance with Clean Water 

Act (CWA) section 404(g–l). Receipt of 

the package initiated a 120-day statutory 

review period. After careful review of 

the package submitted, as well as 

consideration of comments submitted 

on the package by the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

(Corps), comments received during 

consultation with tribes, and over 3,000 

comments received from the public, 

EPA has determined that the State of 

Florida has the necessary authority to 

operate a CWA Section 404 program in 

accordance with the requirements found 

in CWA section 404(g–l) and EPA’s 

implementing regulations. Therefore, 

EPA has taken final action to approve 

Florida’s assumption of the program. 

DATES: Florida’s program assumption 

will be applicable December 22, 2020. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Kelly Laycock, Oceans, Wetlands and 

Streams Protection Branch, USEPA 

Region 4, 61 Forsyth St. SW, Atlanta, 

GA 30303; telephone number: (404)

404Assumption-FL@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CWA 

established the Section 404 program, 

under which the Secretary of the Army, 

acting through the Chief of Engineers of 

the Corps, may issue permits for the 

discharge of dredged or fill material into 

waters of the United States as identified 

in the CWA. Section 404(g)(1) of the 

CWA provides states and tribes the 

option of submitting to EPA a request to 

assume administration of a CWA 

Section 404 program in certain waters 

within state or tribal jurisdiction. 

The regulations establishing the 

requirements for the approval of state or 

tribal programs under section 404 of the 

CWA were published in the Federal 

Register at 53 FR 20764 (June 6, 1988) 

(40 CFR parts 232 and 233), and can be 

accessed at https://www.epa.gov/ 

cwa404g/statutory-and-regulatoryrequirements-assumption-under-cwasection-404. ‘‘State regulated waters’’ 

are defined in 40 CFR 232.2. 

The Corps generally retains CWA 

Section 404 permitting authority over 

waters of the United States within 

‘‘Indian country’’ as that term is defined 

at 18 U.S.C. 1151, unless a tribe has 

assumed administration of a CWA 

Section 404 program within Indian 

country. See 40 CFR 233.1(b). 

A state application to administer a 

Section 404 program must include the 

following: (a) A letter from the Governor 

of the state requesting program 

approval; (b) a complete program 

description as set forth in 40 CFR 

233.11; (c) an Attorney General’s 

statement or a statement from the 

attorney for those state or interstate 

agencies which have independent legal 

counsel, as set forth in 40 CFR 233.12; 

(d) a Memorandum of Agreement with 

the EPA Regional Administrator, as set 

forth in 40 CFR 233.13; (e) a 

Memorandum of Agreement with the 

Secretary of the Army, as set forth in 40 

CFR 233.14; and (f) copies of all 

applicable state statutes and regulations, 

including those governing applicable 

state administrative procedures. 40 CFR 

233.10. 

On September 16, 2020, EPA 

published a Federal Register notice of 

its receipt of a complete program 

assumption request package (85 FR 

57853), opened a public comment 

period, and scheduled two virtual 

public hearings on the Section 404 

program submitted by Florida. EPA held 

virtual public hearings on October 21, 

2020, and October 27, 2020, and 

received comments submitted to Docket 

ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2018–0640 during 

the public comment period which 

ended November 2, 2020. EPA received 

and reviewed over 3,000 comments 

submitted during the comment period 

and public hearings, comments 

provided during tribal consultation, as 

well as comments from USFWS, NMFS, 

and the Corps. EPA also consulted 

under section 7 of the Endangered 

Species Act with the USFWS, and under 

section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) with the 

Advisory Council on Historic 

Preservation (ACHP), the Florida State 

Historic Preservation Officer (Florida 

SHPO), the Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection (FDEP), and 

Indian tribes with interests in the State 

of Florida on its decision whether to 

approve Florida’s program request. On 

December 16, 2020, EPA entered into a 

programmatic agreement with the 

ACHP, the Florida SHPO, and FDEP 

which evidences EPA’s compliance 

with section 106 of the NHPA and its 

implementing regulations. The 

programmatic agreement became 

effective on December 16, 2020. EPA 

has concluded that the State of Florida 

and FDEP have the necessary authority 

to operate a program in accordance with 

the requirements found in CWA section 

404 and 40 CFR part 233. EPA has met 

its requirements under ESA section 

7(a)(2) by completing ESA consultation 

and receiving a ‘‘no jeopardy’’ 

Biological Opinion from the USFWS on 

November 17, 2020. A summary of the 

comments received, EPA’s responses to 

the comments, and a memorandum 

documenting the basis for EPA’s 

decision (‘‘State of Florida’s Request to 

Assume a Clean Water Act Section 404 

Program’’, December 17, 2020) can be 

found in the docket for this action
