expected to exceed a 1% cost-to-revenue 

threshold ranges from 76 under low cost 

assumptions to 340 under high cost 

assumptions. Of this universe, the total 

number of entities expected to exceed a 

3% cost-to-revenue threshold ranges 

from 5 under low cost assumptions to 

30 under high cost assumptions. This is 

based out of 5,480 total small firms. 

Accordingly, EPA concludes that the 

VGP will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities or other 

businesses. 

B. Benefits of the VGP 

Although EPA was unable to evaluate 

the expected benefits of the permit in 

dollar terms due to data limitations, the 

Agency collected and considered 

relevant information to enable 

qualitative consideration of ecological 

benefits and to assess the importance of 

the ecological gains from the revisions. 

EPA expects that reductions in vessel 

discharges will benefit society in two 

broad categories: (1) Enhanced water 

quality from reduced pollutant 

discharges and (2) reduced risk of 

invasive species introduction and 

dispersal. With some of the most 

damaging invasive species having cost 

the U.S. economy upwards of 1 billion 

dollars each, the environmental and 

economic benefits of stopping and 

slowing new invasions introductions 

and dispersal are significant. 

Because many of the nation’s busiest 

ports are considered to be impaired by 

a variety of pollutants found in vessel 

discharges, reducing pollutant loadings 

from these discharges is expected to 

have benefits associated with the 

reduction of concentrations of nutrients, 

metals, oil, grease, and toxics in waters 

with high levels of vessel traffic. 

V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Under Executive Order (EO) 12866 

(58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)) EPA has 

determined this action is a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action.’’ Accordingly, EPA 

submitted this action to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 (76 FR 3821) and any 

changes made in response to OMB 

recommendations have been 

documented in the docket for this 

action.
