Initiation of Scoping for an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Initiation of scoping. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42 

U.S.C. 4321–4307h), the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR Part 1500–1508), 

and EPA’s regulations for implementing 

NEPA (40 CFR Part 6), EPA will prepare 

an Environmental Assessment (EA) to 

analyze the potential environmental 

impacts related to the reissuance of the 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) General 

Permit for Discharges from Industrial 

Activities, also referred to as the MultiSector General Permit. The EA will 

evaluate the potential environmental 

impacts from the discharge of pollutants

in stormwater discharges from new 

sources associated with industrial 

facilities where EPA is the permitting 

authority. EPA will use the information 

in the EA to determine whether to 

prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS). 

This notice initiates the scoping 

process by inviting comments from 

Federal, State, and local agencies, 

Indian tribes, and the public to help 

identify the environmental issues and 

reasonable alternatives to be examined 

in the EA. The scoping process will 

inform the preparation of the EA, which 

will be made available for public 

comment. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

December 16, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit scoping

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

seeking public comment to determine 

the scope of environmental issues and 

reasonable alternatives to be addressed 

in the EA on the reissuance of the 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) general 

permit for the discharge of pollutants in 

stormwater discharges from new sources 

associated with industrial facilities 

where EPA is the permitting authority. 

EPA invites the public to submit 

comments electronically through email 

or by mail or fax to the address cited in 

the ADDRESSES section during the 30- 

day comment period following the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Since 1995, EPA has issued a series of 

NPDES Multi-Sector General Permits 

(MSGP) that cover areas where EPA is 

the permitting authority. At present, 

EPA is the permitting authority in four 

states (Idaho, Massachusetts, New 

Hampshire, and New Mexico), the 

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, all 

U.S. territories with the exception of the 

Virgin Islands, federal facilities in four 

states (Colorado, Delaware, Vermont, 

and Washington), most Indian lands and 

a few other specifically designated 

activities in specific states (e.g., oil and 

gas activities in Texas and Oklahoma). 

EPA’s current MSGP became effective 

on September 29, 2008 (see 73 FR 

56572) and will expire on September 29, 

2013 (Note: Facilities that obtained 

coverage under the 2008 MSGP prior to 

its expiration are automatically granted 

an administrative continuance of permit 

coverage. EPA has issued a 

memorandum concerning new facilities 

that begin discharging stormwater 

associated with industrial activity after 

September 29, 2013. This memorandum 

provides a ‘‘no action assurance’’ for the 

new facilities that comply with the 

requirements of the 2008 MSGP, subject 

to particular terms and conditions as set 

forth in the memorandum). On 

September 27, 2013, EPA proposed for 

public comment the proposed National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

general permit for the discharge of 

pollutants in stormwater discharges 

from industrial facilities. 78 Fed. Reg. 

59675. The proposed permit, would 

replace the 2008 MSGP. EPA proposes 

to issue the multi-sector general permit 

for five (5) years, and to provide permit 

coverage for sectors of industrial point 

source discharges that occur in areas not 

covered by an approved state NPDES 

program. 

EPA is currently planning to analyze 

two alternatives in the EA: No Action, 

that is not issuing the MSGP; and the 

proposed action, which is issuing the 

draft MSGP as proposed for a designated 

new source of industrial stormwater 

discharge. The EA will focus its analysis 

on the potential environmental impacts 

of both alternatives.
