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:// water.epa.gov/polwaste/npdes/stormwater/Urbanized-Area-Maps-forNPDES-MS4-Phase-II-StormwaterPermits.cfm.

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 thosedesignated 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 effectivelyprohibit 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.
