Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 75 / Monday, April 20, 2015 / Notices 21717 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Final 

NPDES General Permits MAG070000 

And NHG070000. 

SUMMARY: The Director of the Office of 

Ecosystem Protection, EPA-New 

England, is providing a notice of 

availability of final National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

general permits for dewatering activity 

discharges to certain waters of the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts and 

the State of New Hampshire. These 

General Permits replace the Dewatering 

General Permits (DGP), which expired 

on September 30, 2013. 

DATES: The DGP will be effective May 

20, 2015 and will expire five years from 

the effective date. In accordance with 40 

CFR part 23, this permit shall be 

considered issued for the purpose of 

judicial review on May 4, 2015. Under 

section 509(b) of the Clean Water Act, 

judicial review can be had by filing a 

petition for review in the United States 

Court of Appeals within 120 days after 

the permit is considered issued for 

purposes of judicial review. Under 

section 509(b)(2) of the Clean Water Act, 

the requirements in this permit may not 

be challenged later in civil or criminal 

proceedings to enforce these 

requirements. In addition, this permit 

may not be challenged in other agency 

proceedings. 

ADDRESSES: The required notice of 

intent (NOI) information to obtain 

permit coverage is provided in the DGP. 

This information shall be submitted to 

EPA. NOIs may be submitted 

electronically or via mail at the 

addresses provided below: 

(1) Email: GeneralPermit.Dewatering@

epa.gov. 

(2) Mail: Victor Alvarez, U.S. EPA— 

Region 1, 5 Post Office Square—Suite 

100, Mail Code OEP06–4, Boston, MA 

02109–3912. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Additional information concerning the 

final General Permits may be obtained 

between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

Monday through Friday, excluding 

holidays, from Victor Alvarez, Office of 

Ecosystem Protection, 5 Post Office 

Square—Suite 100, Boston, MA 02109–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

reissuing two general permits for the 

discharge of uncontaminated water from 

construction dewatering intrusion and/ 

or stormwater accumulation from sites 

that disturb less than one acre of land 

and short and long term dewatering of 

foundation sumps. While the final 

general permits are two distinct permits, 

for convenience, EPA has grouped them 

together in a single document and has 

provided a single fact sheet for the two 

draft general permits. This document 

refers to the final general ‘‘permit’’ in 

the singular. The final general permit, 

appendices and fact sheet are available 

at: http://www.epa.gov/region1/npdes/

dewatering.html. 

The General Permit establishes Notice 

of Intent (NOI) requirements, effluent 

limitations, standards, prohibitions, and 

management practices for facilities with 

construction dewatering of groundwater 

intrusion and/or storm water 

accumulation from sites less than one 

acre and short-term and long-term 

dewatering of foundation sumps. 

The draft permit includes effluent 

limitations based on best professional 

judgment (BPJ) and water quality 

considerations. When EPA has not 

promulgated effluent limitations for a 

category of discharges, or if an operator 

discharges a pollutant not covered by an 

effluent limitation guideline, effluent 

limitations may be based on the BPJ of 

the agency or permit writer. The BPJ 

limits in the general permit are in the 

form of non-numeric control measures, 

commonly referred to as best 

management practices (BMPs). The 

effluent limits established in the draft 

permit assures that the surface water 

quality standards of the receiving water 

are protected, maintained and/or 

attained. Discharges that contain 

pollutants in quantities which represent 

reasonable potential to cause or 

contribute to violations of water quality 

standards will not be granted coverage 

under this general permit. Those 

dischargers must either apply for an 

individual permit or seek coverage 

under EPA’s Remediation General 

Permit. 

Other Legal Requirements 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

The ESA provisions have been 

updated from the 2008 general permit 

and new species of concern have been 

added. EPA has received concurrence 

from U.S Fish and Wildlife Service and 

National Marine Fisheries Service in 

connection with this final permit. 

Authority: This action is being taken 

under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 

et seq. 

Dated: March 31, 2015.

Abstract: This information collection 

request (ICR) covers revisions to the 

2008 Renovation, Repair, and Painting 

(RRP) rule, which established reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements for 

individuals and firms conducting 

renovations in target housing (most 

housing constructed before 1978) and 

child-occupied facilities (pre-1978 

residential, public, or commercial 

buildings where children under age six 

are regularly present). EPA revised the 

RRP rule under the authority of sections 

402, 404 and 407 of the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA). This 

ICR describes and analyzes the 

incremental changes to the reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements under 

another existing approved ICR (EPA ICR 

No. 1715.12, OMB Control No. 2070– 

0155). 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

745, Subpart L). Respondents may claim 

all or part of a response confidential. 

EPA will disclose information that is 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

only to the extent permitted by, and in 

accordance with, the procedures in 

TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. 

Form Numbers: 8500–25; 8500–27. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Persons who provide training in leadbased paint activities and/or renovation, 

persons who are engaged in lead-based 

paint activities and/or renovation, and 

state agencies that administer leadbased paint activities and/or renovation 

programs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

170 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 151 hours per 

year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $27 per year, 

includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB.

fuel for calendar year 2014. The 

proposed consent decree establishes 

deadlines for EPA to take proposed and 

final action regarding renewable fuel 

obligations for 2015, a deadline for EPA 

to take final action regarding renewable 

fuel obligations for 2014 and a deadline 

for EPA to approve or disapprove 

Plaintiffs’ petition seeking a partial 

waiver of CAA renewable fuel 

applicable volumes for 2014.

The proposed consent decree would 

resolve the lawsuit filed by Plaintiffs by

proposed action by June 1, 2015 and 

final action by November 30, 2015 to 

address renewable fuel obligations 

under CAA 211(o) for calendar year 

2015. In addition, the proposed decree 

would establish that EPA must take 

final action by November 30, 2015 to 

address renewable fuel obligations for

withhold consent to the proposed 

consent decree if the comments disclose 

facts or considerations that indicate that 

such consent is inappropriate, 

improper, inadequate, or inconsistent 

with the requirements of the Act. Unless 

EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent to this consent 

decree should be withdrawn, the terms 

of the decree will be affirmed.
