Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 20, 2024 / Notices 12837 

1 In the Wet Weather Water Quality Act of 2000, 

Congress added section 402(q) to the CWA to 

provide that each permit, order, or decree issued 

after December 21, 2000, for a discharge from a 

municipal combined storm and sanitary sewer shall 

conform to the 1994 Combined Sewer Overflow 

Control Policy (33 U.S.C. 1342(q)(1)). 

2 In the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act 

(H.R. 7279), Congress added section 402(s) to the 

CWA that defines an Integrated Plan as one 

developed in accordance with the 2012 Integrated 

Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning 

Approach Framework; and requires the EPA to 

inform municipalities of the opportunity to develop 

an Integrated Plan that may inform permit terms 

and conditions to help meet their existing CWA 

obligations (33 U.S.C. 1342(s)). These amendments 

clarified that municipalities may develop an 

Integrated Plan as defined under the CWA and the 

permitting authority may develop NPDES permit 

terms and conditions informed by that plan. 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture of the new 

chemical substance or before engaging 

in the significant new use. 

The submitter of a notice to EPA for 

which EPA has made a finding of ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment’’ 

may commence manufacture of the 

chemical substance or manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

notwithstanding any remaining portion 

of the applicable review period. 

D. Does this action have any 

incremental economic impacts or 

paperwork burdens? 

No. 

II. Statements of Findings Under TSCA 

Section 5(a)(3)(C) 

In this unit, EPA provides the 

following information (to the extent that 

such information is not claimed as 

Confidential Business Information 

(CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs, and 

SNUNs for which, during this period, 

EPA has made findings under TSCA 

section 5(a)(3)(C) that the new chemical 

substances or significant new uses are 

not likely to present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment: 

The following list provides the EPA 

case number assigned to the TSCA 

section 5(a) submission and the 

chemical identity (generic name if the 

specific name is claimed as CBI).

Draft Guidance for Future National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination 

System (NPDES) Permitting of 

Combined Sewer Systems 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking 

comment on this draft Guidance to 

clarify and inform future National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) permitting actions for 

communities with combined sewer 

systems. This draft Guidance highlights 

the available approaches for permitting 

combined sewer overflow (CSO) 

communities nearing completion of the 

projects and activities identified in their 

Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP). The 

draft Guidance summarizes options 

under the Clean Water Act (CWA) that 

are articulated in the 1994 Combined 

Sewer Overflow Control Policy and the 

option to use the EPA’s 2012 Integrated 

Planning Framework to look holistically 

at future investments in controlling 

wastewater and stormwater discharges 

and improving water quality. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 21, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting Documentation. The docket 

contains supporting materials that were 

referenced in the development of this 

Guidance. 

I. Executive Summary 

The Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) 

Control Policy (CSO Policy) was issued 

in 1994 and incorporated into the Clean 

Water Act (CWA) in 2000.1 Since its 

issuance, communities with combined 

sewer systems nationwide have made 

substantial progress toward the goals 

established in the CSO Policy. During 

this same time, many factors that 

influence how communities address 

CSOs have evolved. Recognizing these 

ongoing changes and to aid 

communities addressing multiple 

municipal CWA requirements, in 2012, 

the EPA developed an Integrated 

Planning Framework that clarifies CWA 

flexibilities and offers a voluntary 

opportunity for a municipality to 

prioritize and sequence, where 

appropriate, those infrastructure 

projects that provide the greatest or 

fastest environmental and public health 

benefits. Integrated planning was added 

to the CWA in 2019.2 The EPA is issuing 

this draft Guidance to clarify and inform 

future National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) permitting 

actions for communities with CSOs. 

This draft Guidance would be 

applicable to permitting actions once 

the CSO permittee has completed 

construction of CSO controls and 

demonstrated that they are achieving 

the performance objectives outlined in 

their Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP). 

The draft Guidance is intended to 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
12838 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 20, 2024 / Notices 

clarify the options available for CSO 

communities when they are nearing 

completion of the projects and activities 

identified in their LTCPs and inform 

future permitting actions consistent 

with the CSO Policy, and the CWA. In 

addition, the draft Guidance provides 

recommendations for permitting 

authorities on how to develop future 

CSO permits in more transparent, 

equitable, and resilient ways.
