B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments.

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, EPA seeks information on any 

groups or segments of the population 

who, as a result of their location, 

cultural practices, or other factors, may 

have atypical or disproportionately high 

and adverse human health impacts or 

environmental effects from exposure to 

the pesticides discussed in this 

document, compared to the general 

population. 

II. Registration Applications

register pesticide products containing 

active ingredients not included in any 

currently registered pesticide products.

actions being evaluated under EPA’s 

public participation process for 

registration actions, there will be an 

additional opportunity for public 

comment on the proposed decisions.

[9931–85–Region 10] 

Final Reissuance of a General NPDES 

Permit (GP) for Oil and Gas 

Exploration Facilities in the Federal 

Waters of Cook Inlet, Alaska 

AGENCY: Region 10, Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ACTION: Final notice of reissuance of a 

general permit. 

SUMMARY: EPA is reissuing a National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) GP (AKG–28–5100) to cover 

Oil and Gas Exploration Facilities in the 

Federal Waters of Cook Inlet. EPA 

proposed the GP on March 22, 2013 for 

a 60 day comment period. Public 

Hearings were held the week of April 

29, 2013, in Kenai (April 29), Homer 

(April 30), and Anchorage (May 2). 

DATES: The effective date of this GP will 

be September 1, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the GP and 

Response to Comments are available 

through written requests submitted to 

EPA, Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue, 

Suite 900, OWW–191, Seattle, WA 

98101. Electronic requests may be sent 

to: washington.audrey@epa.gov or 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov. For requests by 

phone, call Audrey Washington at (206) 

553–0523 or Cindi Godsey at (206) 553–

GP, Fact Sheet, Response to Comments 

and Ocean Discharge Criteria Evaluation 

may be found on the Region 10 Web site

General+NPDES+Permits/#oilgas. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA 

prepared a Biological Evaluation for 

consultation with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service and the National 

Marine Fisheries Service. EPA received 

concurrence from both Services on a 

Not Likely to Adversely Affect 

determination. 

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.
