SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On August 8, 2010 the New York 

State Department of Environmental 

Conservation (NYSDEC) submitted an 

amended application titled ‘‘Air 

Compliance and Emission Electronic 

Reporting System’’ for modification of 

its EPA-authorized Part 70 program 

under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed 

NYSDEC’s request to modify Part 70— 

‘‘State Operating Permit Programs’’ and, 

based on this review, EPA determined 

that the application met the standards 

for approval of authorized program 

modification set out in 40 CFR part 3, 

subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve New York State’s request to 

modify its Part 70—State Operating 

Permit Programs to allow electronic 

reporting under 40 CFR part 70 is being 

published in the Federal Register. 

NYSDEC was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.

Proposed Modification of a General 

NPDES Permit for Small Suction 

Dredging—Permit Number IDG–37– 

0000 

AGENCY: Region 10, Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed modification of a 

general permit. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to modify a 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) General 

Permit for placer mining operations in 

Idaho using small suction dredges 

(intake nozzle size of 5 inches in 

diameter or less and with equipment 

rated at 15 horsepower or less). When 

the 2013 GP was issued, the language of 

the GP contained a discrepancy with the 

total maximum daily load (TMDL) that 

was issued for Mores Creek. The GP did 

not include any reference to the 

tributaries of Mores, Elk or Grimes 

creeks that were included in the loading 

allocations of the TMDL. This 

modification proposes to rectify that 

discrepancy by including a reference to 

the tributaries within the GP 

requirements for Mores, Grimes and Elk 

creeks and listing the tributaries in 

Appendix F to the GP. Other parts of the 

GP are not open for public comment at 

this time. 

DATES: Interested persons may submit 

comments on the proposed modification 

of the general permit to EPA, Region 10 

at the address below. Comments must 

be postmarked by February 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

modified General Permit should be sent 

to Director, Office of Water and 

Watersheds; USEPA Region 10; 1200 

Sixth Avenue Suite 900, OWW–130; 

Seattle, Washington 98101. Comments 

may also be submitted by fax to (206) 

553–0165 or electronically to 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the proposed modified general 

permit and Statement of Basis are 

available upon request. Requests may be 

made to Audrey Washington at (206) 

553–0523 or to Cindi Godsey at (907) 

271–6561. Requests may also be 

electronically mailed to: 

washington.audrey@epa.gov or 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov. These documents 

may also be found on the EPA Region 

10 Web site at http://yosemite.epa.gov/ 

R10/water.nsf/NPDES+Permits/

Permits+Homepage then click on ‘‘Draft 

Permits’’ then ‘‘Draft Permits for Idaho 

Dischargers.’’ 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Order 12866: The Office of 

Management and Budget has exempted 

this action from the review 

requirements of Executive Order 12866 

pursuant to Section 6 of that order. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal agency 

must prepare an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis ‘‘for any proposed 

rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is required 

by section 553 of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), or any other law, 

to publish general notice of proposed 

rulemaking.’’ The RFA exempts from 

this requirement any rule that the 

issuing agency certifies ‘‘will not, if 

promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.’’ EPA has 

concluded that NPDES general permits 

are permits, not rulemakings, under the 

APA and thus not subject to APA 

rulemaking requirements or the RFA. 

Notwithstanding that general permits 

are not subject to the RFA, EPA has 

determined that this GP, as issued, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities.
