IV. Cost Impacts of the Draft 2026 PGP 

Based on the cost analyses performed 

for EPA’s previously issued PGPs, EPA 

expects the costs that covered entities, 

including small businesses, will bear to 

comply with this permit will be 

minimal. Since the draft 2026 PGP is 

largely similar to the 2021 PGP, EPA 

projects that the proposed changes will 

have minimal incremental cost impacts 

on regulated entities. Copies of EPA’s 

economic analyses and cost impact 

analyses for EPA’s previously issued 

PGPs are available in the docket for this 

permit. See Appendix D of the draft 

2026 PGP Fact Sheet for further 

discussion of the potential incremental 

costs of the draft 2026 PGP. 

V. Statutory and Executive Orders 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulations 

and Regulatory Review 

The draft 2026 PGP is not a significant 

regulatory action and was therefore not 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review. 

B. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations and Executive 

Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation’s 

Commitment to Environmental Justice 

for All 

EPA believes that the human health 

and environmental conditions that exist 

prior to this action is not likely to result 

in disproportionate and adverse effects 

on communities with EJ concerns. As 

part of the general permit development 

process, EPA reviews available 

information to evaluate whether 

issuance of a permit could affect 

overburdened communities. The 

information supporting this Executive 

Order review is contained in Appendix 

E of the draft 2026 PGP Fact Sheet. 

C. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13175. It will neither impose 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

federally recognized tribal governments, 

nor preempt tribal law. EPA directly 

implements the NPDES Program, 

including the 2026 PGP when it is 

finalized, in Indian Country; therefore, 

in compliance with EPA Policy on 

Consultation and Coordination with 

Indian Tribes, EPA consulted with tribal 

officials early in the process to provide 

tribes an opportunity to have 

meaningful and timely input into the 

renewal of the PGP. To gain an 

understanding of, and where necessary, 

to address tribal implications of the 

draft 2026 PGP, EPA conducted the 

following activities: 

• August 22, 2023—EPA emailed 

notification letters to tribal leaders 

initiating consultation and coordination 

on the renewal of the PGP. The 

initiation letter was also posted on 

EPA’s Tribal Consultation Opportunities 

Tracking System (TCOTS) at https://

tcots.epa.gov/. 

• September 19 and 21, 2023—EPA 

held two informational webinars open 

to all tribal representatives and reserved 

the last part of each webinar for official 

consultation comments. Eighteen tribal 

representatives participated in the 

webinar. No official comments were 

received during the webinar. The 

presentation was posted on the tribal 

portal website at http://tcots.epa.gov. 

EPA received one comment from 

tribes and tribal organizations during 

the consultation and coordination 

period. Records of the tribal 

informational webinar and a 

consultation summary are included in 

the docket for this proposed action 

(Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2023– 

0268). EPA has considered the comment 

received in the proposal. The Agency 

specifically solicits additional comment 

on this proposed permit during the 

public comment period. EPA also notes 

that as part of the finalization of this 

proposed permit, the Agency will 

complete the Clean Water Act section 

401 certification procedures with all 

authorized tribes where this permit will 

apply.
