Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 14, 2007 / Notices 11875 

Federal regulations at 40 CFR 

123.62(b)(2) . EPA received no 

comments in response to the public 

notice. 

As part of EPA’s obligation under the 

Endangered Species Act, EPA prepared 

a biological evaluation to determine if 

approval of the revised Regulations 

Governing the Control of Water 

Pollution will adversely affect 

threatened and endangered species and 

their critical habitat in Delaware. The 

biological evaluation found that EPA’s 

approval would not adversely affect 

threatened or endangered species. EPA 

shared this evaluation with the U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service and the 

National Marine Fisheries Services and 

they concurred with EPA’s finding on 

October 9, 2003 and November 7, 2003, 

respectively. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Based on 

General Counsel Opinion 78–7 (April 

18, 1978) 

EPA has long considered a 

determination to approve or deny a 

State NPDES program submittal to 

constitute an adjudication because an 

‘‘approval,’’ within the meaning of the 

APA, constitutes a ‘‘license,’’ which, in 

turn, is the product of an 

‘‘adjudication.’’ For this reason, the 

statutes and Executive Orders that apply 

to rulemaking action are not applicable 

here. Among these are provisions of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq. Under the RFA, 

whenever a Federal agency proposes or 

promulgates a rule under Section 553 of 

the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA), after being required by that 

section or any other law to publish a 

general notice of proposed rulemaking, 

the Agency must prepare a regulatory 

flexibility analysis for the rule, unless 

the Agency certifies that the rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. If the Agency does not certify 

the rule, the regulatory flexibility 

analysis must describe and assess the 

impact of a rule on small entities 

affected by the rule. Even if this 

approval of revisions to Delaware’s 

NPDES program were a rule subject to 

the RFA, the Agency would certify that 

approval of the State’s revised NPDES 

program would not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. EPA’s action 

to approve an NPDES program merely 

recognizes that the necessary elements 

of an NPDES program have already been 

enacted as a matter of State law; it 

would, therefore, impose no additional 

obligations upon those subject to the 

State’s program. Accordingly, the 

Regional Administrator would certify 

that this approval, even if a rule, would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

Notice of Decision: I hereby provide 

public notice of the Agency’s approval, 

pursuant to 40 CFR 123.62, of the State 

of Delaware’s revisions to its 

Regulations Governing the Control of 

Water Pollution, as consistent with the 

requirements of the Clean Water Act 

NPDES Program. 

Dated: February 15, 2007. 

William T. Wisniewski, 

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 3.
