86804 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2024 / Notices 

This Draft CII General Permit is 

established pursuant to CWA sections 

301, 402(a)(1), 402(p)(2)(E), and 

402(p)(6). 

1. Technology-Based Requirements 

This Draft CII General Permit would 

be available to authorize certain 

stormwater discharges, as it is 

authorized to do under CWA sections 

301, 402(a)(1), 402(p)(2)(E) and 

402(p)(6), by requiring the 

implementation of BMPs. The Draft CII 

Permit regulates Phosphorus, a nonconventional pollutant, as an indicator 

parameter for all regulated pollutants. 

As provided in section 402(a)(1) of the 

CWA, EPA established TechnologyBased Effluent Limitations (TBELs) in 

this Draft Permit utilizing Best 

Professional Judgment (BPJ) to meet the 

‘‘best available technology economically 

achievable’’ (BAT), ‘‘best conventional 

pollutant control technology’’ (BCT), 

and ‘‘best practicable control technology 

currently available’’ (BPT) standards 

described in section 304(b) of the CWA. 

TBELs in this Draft Permit are expressed 

as requirements for implementation of 

effective best management practices 

(BMPs). 40 CFR 122.44(k). Section 2.1.1 

of the Draft CII GP requires all 

Permittees to develop and implement 

Stormwater Pollution Control Plans 

(SPCPs). The minimum BMPs specified 

in this CII GP represent common 

practices that can be implemented by 

most CII facilities. Dischargers have 

flexibility in designing their SPCP in 

accordance with Section 2.2 of this Draft 

CII GP. 

2. Water-Quality Based Requirements 

Based on its scientific and technical 

judgment, EPA has determined that the 

following reductions of Phosphorus, as 

an indicator pollutant, from CII sites are 

necessary to meet water quality 

standards: Charles River watershed, 

65%; Mystic River watershed, 62%; 

Neponset River watershed, 60%. 

Permittees’ development and 

implementation of SPCPs constitutes 

compliance with the Water-Quality 

Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) 

contained in this Draft CII GP, including 

the aforementioned reductions of 

Phosphorus. 

D. Provisions on Which EPA Is 

Soliciting Comment 

While EPA encourages the public to 

review and comment on all provisions 

in the Preliminary Determination and 

the Draft CII GP, EPA has included in 

the body of the Draft CII GP Fact Sheet 

several proposed provisions on which 

EPA specifically requests feedback. The 

following list summarizes these specific 

requests for comment, and where they 

are included in the fact sheet. EPA notes 

that these are only summaries of the 

requests for comment. The Agency 

recommends that the public see the 

specific wording of each comment 

request within the body of the fact 

sheet. 

1. Multifamily housing/tax codes 

(Fact Sheet § 1.5): EPA is seeking 

comment on whether to include MultiFamily Residential Properties in the 

final designation and in the final CII GP. 

2. Compliance schedule (Fact Sheet 

§ 5.1.1): EPA is seeking comment on 

whether the proposed compliance 

schedule is appropriate. 

3. Multiple non-contiguous properties 

(Fact Sheet § 1.4): EPA is seeking 

comment on how the permitting process 

should work for owners with multiple 

non-contiguous properties that are 

subject to the CII GP. 

4. Owner-operator (Fact Sheet § 1.4): 

EPA is seeking comment on whether 

EPA should regulate the operator with 

control over a site instead of the owner, 

including sites where multiple operators 

may be tenants of a site (e.g., a shopping 

plaza with one owner and multiple 

tenants). 

5. Contiguous properties (Fact Sheet 

§ 1.4): EPA is seeking comment on its 

regulation of contiguous sites, which 

reflect EPAs interest in consolidating, to 

the greatest extent possible, 

responsibility for permit compliance. 

6. Historic Properties (Fact Sheet 

§ 9.3): EPA is seeking comment on the 

Draft CII GP’s potential impact on 

historic properties. 

E. Procedures for Reaching a Final 

Designation and Final Permit Decision 

After the comment period closes, EPA 

intends to issue a final permit and final 

RDA determination. EPA will consider 

all significant comments and make 

appropriate changes before issuing this 

permit. EPA’s responses to public 

comments received will be included in 

the docket as part of the final permit 

issuance. Once the final permit becomes 

effective, eligible dischargers may seek 

authorization. 

Authority: This action is being taken 

pursuant to Clean Water Act sections 

301, 402(a)(1), 402(p)(2)(E), and 

402(p)(6).

Background 

The Patient Safety and Quality 

Improvement Act of 2005, 42 U.S.C. 

299b–21 to 299b–26 (Patient Safety Act), 

and the related Patient Safety and 

Quality Improvement Final Rule, 42 

CFR part 3 (Patient Safety Rule), 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 21, 2008, 73 FR 70731– 

70814, provide for the Federal listing of 

Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs), 

which collect, aggregate, and analyze 

confidential information (patient safety 

work product) regarding the quality and 

safety of healthcare delivery. 

The Patient Safety Act also authorizes 

the development of data standards, 

known as the Common Formats, to 

facilitate the aggregation and analysis of 

non-identifiable patient safety work 

product collected by PSOs and reported 

to the Network of Patient Safety 

Databases (NPSD). (42 U.S.C. 299b– 

23(b)). The Patient Safety Act and 

Patient Safety Rule can be accessed at: 

http://www.pso.ahrq.gov/legislation/. 

Section 8(iv) of E.O. 14110 requires 

the Secretary of HHS, in consultation 

with the Secretaries of Defense and 

Veterans Affairs, to establish an AI 

safety program that, in partnership with 

PSOs, will: 

• establish a common framework for 

approaches to identifying and capturing 

clinical errors resulting from AI 

deployed in healthcare settings as well 

as specifications for a central tracking 

repository for associated incidents that 

cause harm, including through bias or 

discrimination, to patients, caregivers, 

or other parties; 

• analyze captured data and 

generated evidence to develop, 

wherever appropriate, 

recommendations, best practices, or 

other informal guidelines aimed at 

avoiding these harms; and 

• disseminate those 

recommendations, best practices, or 

other informal guidelines to appropriate 

stakeholders, including healthcare 

providers. 

Agenda, Registration, and Other 

Information About the Meeting 

AHRQ will be hosting this fully 

virtual meeting to discuss 

implementation of the AI in Healthcare 

Safety Program with members of the 

public, including PSOs and other 

interested parties. Agenda topics will 

include recent AI-related analyses from 

the NPSD, available program resources, 

and speakers from the Assistant 

Secretary for Technology Policy/Office 

of the National Coordinator for Health 

Information Technology and the 

Coalition for Health AI. Active 

participation and discussion by meeting 

participants is encouraged, including 

through breakout sessions. 

AHRQ requests that interested 

persons send an email to SDMeetings@

infinityconferences.com for registration 

information. Before the meeting, an
