SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

On September 7, 2022, EPA Region 10 

proposed to reissue the general permit 

(87 FR 54688). In response to requests 

from the regulated community, EPA 

Region 10 extended the end of the 

public comment period from November 

7 to December 22, 2022 (87 FR 66178). 

On July 18, 2023, EPA Region 10 

initiated a second public comment 

period focused exclusively on four 

changes made to the General Permit (88 

FR 45901). Eligible facilities include 

Concentrated Aquatic Animal 

Production (CAAP) facilities, non-CAAP 

facilities, aquaculture research facilities, 

and dam fish passage facilities. 

Currently, there are 32 facilities covered 

under the existing administratively 

continued general permit. Existing 

aquaculture facilities may request 

authorization to discharge under the 

general permit by submitting a Notice of 

Intent (NOI) no more than ninety (90) 

days following the effective date of the 

general permit. New facilities that begin 

operations after the effective date of the 

general permit must submit a NOI at 

least 180 days prior to initiation of 

operations. Upon receipt, EPA will 

review the NOI to ensure that all permit 

requirements are met. If determined 

appropriate by EPA, a discharger will be 

granted coverage under the general 

permit upon the date that EPA provides 

written notification. 

Please see the general permit and fact 

sheet. 

Other Legal Requirements 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was therefore not 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review.

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and 

associated Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) for a proposed facility 

at Cassimer Bar was available for review 

and comment along with this general 

permit. 

Compliance with Endangered Species 

Act, Essential Fish Habitat, Paperwork 

Reduction Act, and other requirements 

are discussed in the 2022 fact sheet to

Appeal of Permit: Any interested 

person may appeal the final permit 

action on or before May 7, 2024 (i.e., 120 

days from the issuance date of this 

permit) in the Federal Court of Appeals 

in accordance with section 509(b)(1) of 

the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1369(b)(1).

evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate forms of 

information technology. EPA will 

consider the comments received and 

amend the ICR as appropriate. The final 

ICR package will then be submitted to

time, EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB.
