area of another MS4 permit provided 

the MS4 is located fully or partially 

within an urbanized area as determined 

by the 2000 and 2010 Decennial Census; 

is designated as a regulated MS4 

pursuant to 40 CFR 122.32; or this 

permit may also authorize an operator of 

a MS4 covered by this permit for 

discharges from areas of a regulated 

small MS4 located outside an Urbanized 

Areas or areas designated by the 

Director provided the permittee 

complies with all permit conditions in 

all areas covered under the permit. 

Maps of 2010 Census urbanized areas 

are available online at: http://

At the time the general permit 

NMR040000 was issued, permit 

coverage was actually provided by three 

legally separate and distinctly 

numbered permits (NMR040000, 

NMR04000I, OKR04000I). NMR04000I 

was issued for MS4s on Indian Country 

in New Mexico, general permit 

OKR04000I was issued for MS4s on 

Indian Country lands in Oklahoma. MS4 

General Permit OKR04000I expired June 

30, 2012, without any MS4s submitting 

a Notice of Intent to be covered. Since 

no MS4 operators took advantage of the 

authorization offered by that permit 

during its five year term and there are 

no administratively continued 

permittees covered by the permit, EPA 

Region 6 considers the permit 

terminated as of the expiration date and 

is not proposing to reissue MS4 General 

Permit OKR04000I at this time. Any 

MS4 operators on Indian Country lands 

in Oklahoma requiring permit coverage 

should contact EPA Region 6 for 

information on how to obtain permit 

coverage. 

B. Statutory and Regulatory History 

The overall intent of the permit 

conditions is to support the statutory 

goals of Section 101 of the Clean Water 

Act (CWA) to restore and maintain the 

chemical, physical and biological 

integrity for the Nation’s waters. The 

1987 Water Quality Act (WQA) 

amended the CWA by adding section 

402(p) which requires that NPDES 

permits be issued for various categories 

of storm water discharges. Section 

402(p)(2) requires permits for five 

categories of storm water discharges, 

commonly referred to as Phase I of the 

NPDES Storm Water Program. Included 

in Phase I are discharges from large 

municipal separate storm sewer systems 

(MS4s) (systems serving a population of 

250,000 or more). Phase I regulations 

published November 16, 1990 (55 FR 

47990) addressed discharges from large 

MS4s. 

Section 402(p)(6) of the CWA requires 

permitting for certain additional storm 

water discharges (Phase II of the storm 

water program) to protect water quality. 

EPA promulgated final Phase II storm 

water regulations on December 8, 1999 

(64 FR 68722). These regulations set 

forth the additional categories of 

discharges to be permitted and the 

requirements of the program. The 

additional discharges to be permitted 

included small MS4s located in 

Urbanized Areas designated by the 

Bureau of the Census and those 

designated by the Director on a case-bycase basis to protect water quality. This 

proposed permit offers coverage to 

Phase II regulated MS4s in the 

Farmington, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Las 

Cruces, and El Paso UAs into a single 

general permit. 

The discharge control conditions 

established by this permit are based on 

Section 402(p)(3)(B) of the Act which 

mandates that a permit for discharges 

from Phase II MS4s must effectively 

prohibit the discharge of nonstormwater to the MS4 and require 

controls to reduce pollutants in 

discharges from the MS4 to the 

maximum extent practicable (MEP) 

including management practices, 

control techniques and system design 

and engineering methods, and such 

other provisions as the Administrator 

deems appropriate for the control of 

pollutants. MS4 permits requiring 

implementation of Best Management 

Practices (BMPs) addressing the Six 

Minimum Control Measures at 40 CFR 

122.34(b) are generally deemed to be an 

appropriate means of meeting the MEP 

standard. Protection of water quality 

and compliance with Total Maximum 

Daily Loads (TMDLs) are addressed 

through the CWA 402(p)(3)(B)(iii) 

authority for ‘‘other such provisions as 

the Administrator deems appropriate for 

the control of pollutants.’’ 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The information collection required 

by this permit will reduce paperwork 

significantly by implementation of 

electronic reporting requirements. EPA 

is working on an electronic notice of 

intent (eNOI) system so applicants will 

file their NOIs online. EPA estimates 

that it takes 10 to 15 minutes to fill up 

all information required by eNOI for 

each lease block. And it takes much less 

time to add, delete, or modify eNOI. 

EPA will also incorporate an electronic 

discharge monitoring report (NetDMR) 

requirement in the permit. The time for 

NetDMR preparation will be much less 

than that for paper DMR. The electronic 

filing systems will also significantly 

reduce the mailing cost. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires that EPA 

prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis 

for regulations that have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. As indicated below, the permit 

reissuance proposed today is not a 

‘‘rule’’ subject to the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart OOO. Owners or operators of 

the affected facilities must submit initial 

notification, performance tests, and 

periodic reports and results. Owners or 

operators are also required to maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Nonmetallic mineral processing 

facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

OOO). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

4,896 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 14,120 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,648,000 (per 

year), includes $228,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in the respondent burden from 

the most recently approved ICR. This 

increase is not due to any program 

changes. The previous ICR reflected 

burdens and costs associated with 

initial activities for subject facilities, 

including performance testing and 

establishing recordkeeping systems. 

This ICR accounts for the additional 

burden incurred by existing sources that 

must conduct five-year performance 

testing during this ICR period. This ICR 

also reflects an increase in the total 

number of respondents due to industry 

growth. The overall result is an increase 

in total burden hours and costs. 

EPA has also updated the capital/

startup and O&M costs to reflect the 

additional costs incurred by existing 

sources that must conduct five year 

performance tests. This adjustment 

resulted in an overall increase in the 

total capital/startup and O&M cost. 

There is a decrease in Agency burden 

from the most recently approved ICR. 

The previous ICR’s burden calculations 

largely overestimated the number of 

existing sources submitting performance 

test reports to EPA. We have adjusted 

the number of sources accordingly. This 

adjustment resulted in the overall 

decrease in the Agency burden.
