Availability of an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) and Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Environmental Assessment 

(EA)/Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI). 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 

U.S.C. 4321–4307h), the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508), 

and EPA’s regulations for implementing 

NEPA (40 CFR part 6), EPA has 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) to analyze the potential 

environmental impacts related to the 

reissuance of the National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

General Permit for stormwater 

discharges associated with Industrial 

Activity (the ‘‘2015 Multi-Sector 

General Permit’’). The EA evaluates the 

potential environmental impacts from 

the discharge of pollutants in 

stormwater discharges associated with 

industrial activities where EPA is the 

permitting authority. Based on the 

environmental impact analysis in the 

EA, EPA has made a preliminary 

determination that no significant 

environmental impacts are anticipated 

from the issuance of the 2015 MultiSector General Permit. 

This notice initiates the 30-day review 

period and invites comments from 

Federal, State, and local agencies, 

Indian tribes, and the public regarding 

EPA’s preliminary determination. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

February 16, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

seeking public comment regarding its 

preliminary Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) to document its 

determination that no significant 

environmental impacts are anticipated 

from the issuance of the 2015 MultiSector General Permit. EPA invites the 

public to submit comments through 

Regulations.gov or by mail to the 

address cited in the ADDRESSES section 

during the 30-day comment period 

following the publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register. 

Since 1995, EPA has issued a series of 

NPDES Multi-Sector General Permits 

(MSGP) that cover areas where EPA is 

the permitting authority. At present, 

EPA is the permitting authority in 

Idaho, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, 

and New Mexico, Indian Country Lands, 

Puerto Rico, Washington, DC, and U.S. 

territories and protectorates. EPA’s 

current MSGP became effective on 

September 29, 2008 (73 FR 56572) and 

expired at midnight on September 29, 

2013. The proposed action, would 

replace the 2008 MSGP. EPA proposes 

to issue the MSGP for five (5) years 

during which time the permit will 

provide coverage to eligible existing and 

new dischargers for the ten categories of 

industrial activities identified in 40 CFR 

122.26(b)(14)(i)–(xi) where EPA is the 

NPDES permitting authority. On 

November 15, 2013, EPA initiated 

scoping for the development of the 

environmental issues and reasonable 

alternatives to be addressed in the EA. 

78 FR 68835. 

The environmental review process, 

which is documented by the 

Environmental Assessment (EA), 

indicates that no potential significant 

adverse environmental impacts are 

anticipated from the proposed action. 

The EA, which analyzed the potential 

environmental impacts of issuing the 

new MSGP, considered the potential 

environmental impacts from the 

discharge of pollutants in stormwater 

discharges associated with industrial 

activities where EPA is the permitting 

authority. 

Based on the environmental impact 

analysis in the EA, EPA has determined 

that no significant environmental 

impacts are anticipated from the 

issuance of the 2015 Multi-Sector 

General Permit and the proposed action 

does not constitute a major Federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment, making the 

preparation of an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) unnecessary. Therefore,

provide an overview of the state-of-thescience on UFP emissions, air quality 

impacts, exposures, and health effects, 

as well as promote discussions on 

relevant UFP metrics to promote 

consistency and collaboration in current 

and future research. The workshop will 

be held on February 11–13, 2015 in 

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. 

The workshop will be open to 

attendance by interested public 

observers on a first-come, first-served 

basis up to the limits of available space.

together internal and external experts 

from multiple disciplines including, but 

not limited to, atmospheric science, 

monitoring, air quality analysis, and 

health assessment, to discuss new and 

emerging research related to ultrafine 

particles. The workshop will consist of 

platform presentations and panel 

discussions on UFP-relevant science 

related to emissions, ambient air 

quality, exposures, and health effects. 

State-of-the-science presentations will 

be provided on combustion emissions 

and control issues, health effects 

evidence, and previous policy 

considerations in the United States and
