(NPDES) General Permit for the 

Eastern Portion of the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) of the Gulf of 

Mexico (GEG460000); Availability of 

Draft Environmental Assessment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Reissuance 

of NPDES General Permit, Notice to 

States of Mississippi, Alabama and 

Florida for Consistency Review with 

approved Coastal Management 

Programs. 

SUMMARY: The Regional Administrator 

of EPA Region 4 (the ‘‘Region’’) is today 

proposing to reissue the National 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2016 / Notices 55197 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) general permit for the Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) of the Gulf of 

Mexico (General Permit No. 

GEG460000) for discharges in the 

Offshore Subcategory of the Oil and Gas 

Extraction Point Source Category. The 

draft permit pertains to discharges from 

exploration, development, and 

production facilities located in and 

discharging, to all Federal waters of the 

eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico 

seaward of the outer boundary of the 

territorial seas, and covers existing and 

new source facilities with operations 

located on Federal leases occurring in 

water depths seaward of 200 meters, 

occurring offshore the coasts of Alabama 

and Florida. The western boundary of 

the coverage area is demarcated by 

Mobile and Visoca Knoll lease blocks 

located seaward of the outer boundary 

of the territorial seas from the coasts of 

Mississippi and Alabama. Individual 

permits will be issued for operating 

facilities on lease blocks traversed by 

and shoreward of the 200 meter water 

depth. 

As proposed, this Draft NPDES 

general permit includes, best 

conventional pollutant control 

technology (BCT), and best available 

technology economically achievable 

(BAT) limitations for existing sources 

and new source performance standards 

(NSPS) limitations for new sources as 

promulgated in the effluent guidelines 

for the offshore subcategory. The draft 

permit also includes the following 

changes to the expired permit: (1) New 

electronic reporting requirements; (2) 

new whole effluent toxicity testing 

sampling and reporting requirements for 

well treatment, completion, and 

workover fluids not discharged with 

produced wastewaters; (3) requirements 

to submit additional information 

pertaining to the chemicals and 

additives used in well treatment, 

completion and workover operations; 

and (4) clarification regarding types of 

operators. Region 4 is also making 

available a Draft Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for review during the 

30 day public comment period for this 

general permit. The Draft EA addresses 

potential impacts from proposed 

changes to the general permit, and it 

considers recent technical studies. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

September 17, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: The Draft NPDES general 

permit, permit fact sheet, Draft EA and 

other relevant documents are on file and 

may be inspected any time between 8:15

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Procedures for Reaching a Final 

Permit Decision 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 124.13, any 

person who believes any condition of 

the permit is inappropriate must raise 

all reasonably ascertainable issues and 

submit all reasonably available 

arguments in full, supporting their 

position, by the close of the comment 

period. All comments on the Draft 

NPDES general permit and the Draft EA 

received within the 30-day comment 

period will be considered in the 

formulation of final determination 

regarding the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) review and the 

permit reissuance. After consideration 

of all written comments and the 

requirements and policies in the CWA 

and appropriate regulations, the EPA 

Regional Administrator will make a 

determination regarding the Final EA, 

Finding of No Significant Impact, and 

permit reissuance. If the determination 

results in a permit that is substantially 

unchanged from the draft permit 

announced by this notice, the Regional 

Administrator will so notify all persons 

submitting written comments. If the 

determination results in a permit that is 

substantially changed, the Regional 

Administrator will issue a public notice 

indicating the revised determination. 

A formal hearing is available to 

challenge any NPDES permit issued 

according to the regulations at 40 CFR 

124.15 and 124.19, except for a general 

permit, as provided at 40 CFR 124.19(o). 

Persons affected by a general permit 

may not challenge the conditions of a 

general permit as a right in further 

Agency proceedings. They may instead 

either challenge the general permit in 

court, or apply for an individual permit 

as authorized at 40 CFR 122.28, in 

accordance with the application 

requirements set forth at 40 CFR 122.21, 

and then request a formal hearing on the 

issuance or denial of an individual 

permit. Additional information 

regarding these procedures is available 

by contacting Mr. Paul Schwartz, 

Associate Regional Counsel, Office of 

Regional Counsel, at (404) 562–9576. 

II. Procedures for Obtaining General 

Permit Coverage 

Notice of Intent requirements for 

obtaining coverage for operating 

facilities are stated in Part I Section A.4 

of the general permit. Coverage under 

the reissued general permit is effective 

upon receipt of notification of coverage 

with an assignment of an NPDES 

general permit number from the EPARegion 4, Director of the Water 

Protection Division. EPA will act on the 

Notice of Intent (NOI) within a 

reasonable period of time. 

III. Exclusion of Non-Operational 

Leases 

This permit does not apply to nonoperational leases, i.e., those on which 

no discharge has taken place in the two 

(2) years prior to the effective date of the 

reissued general permit. EPA will not 

initially accept NOIs for such leases, 

and the general permit will not cover 

such leases, except as set forth below. 

Non-operational leases will lose 

coverage under the previous general 

permit on the effective date of the 

reissued general permit. No subsequent 

exploration, development or production 

activities may take place on these leases 

until and unless the lessee has obtained 

coverage under the new general permit 

or an individual permit. EPA will not 

accept an NOI or individual permit 

application for non-operational or new 

acquired leases until such time as an 

Exploration Plan Document or the 

Development Operations Coordination 

Document has been prepared and 

submitted to Bureau of Energy 

Management. 

IV. State Water Quality Certification 

Because state waters are not included 

in the area covered by the OCS general 

permit, its effluent limitations and 

monitoring requirements are not subject 

to state water quality certification under 

CWA Section 401. However, the states 

of Alabama, Florida and Mississippi 

have been provided a copy of this draft 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
55198 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 160 / Thursday, August 18, 2016 / Notices 

general permit, Draft EA to review and 

submit comments. Copies of these 

documents have also been provided to 

EPA Headquarters for their review. 

V. State Consistency Determination 

This Notice will also serve as Region 

4’s requirement under the Coastal Zone 

Management Act (CZMA) to provide all 

necessary information for the States of 

Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to 

review this action for consistency with 

their approved Coastal Zone 

Management Programs. A copy of the 

consistency determination on the 

proposed activities is being sent to each 

affected State, along with a letter 

including this FR notice, which 

provides the EPA Web site where 

electronic copies can be obtained of the 

Draft NPDES general permit, permit fact 

sheet, preliminary Ocean Discharge 

Criteria Evaluation, and Draft EA. Other 

relevant information for their review is 

available upon request from each State. 

Comments regarding State Consistency 

are invited in writing within 30 days of 

this notice to the WPD, U.S. EPA-Region 

4, NPDES Section, Sam Nunn Atlanta 

Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street SW., 

Atlanta, GA 30303–8960, Attention: Ms. 

Bridget Staples. 

VI. Public Comment Period and Public 

Hearings 

The public comment period for the 

Draft NPDES permit, Draft EA will begin 

on the date of publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register and end 30 

calendar days later. 

VII. Administrative Record 

The Draft NPDES general permit, 

permit fact sheet, Draft EA and other 

relevant documents are on file and may 

be inspected any time between 8:15 a.m. 

and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday 

at the address shown below. Copies of 

the Draft NPDES general permit, permit 

fact sheet, Draft EA and other relevant 

documents may be obtained by writing 

the U.S. EPA-Region 4, WPD, NPDES 

Permitting Section, Sam Nunn Atlanta 

Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street SW., 

Atlanta, GA 30303–8960, Attention: Ms. 

Bridget Staples, or by calling (404) 562–

aboutepa/about-epa-region-4-southeast. 

VIII. Executive Order 12866 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735 (October 4, 1993)) the Agency 

must determine whether the regulatory 

action is ‘‘significant’’ and therefore 

subject to Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) review and the 

requirements of the Executive Order. 

The Order defines ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as one that is likely 

to result in a rule that may: (1) Have an 

annual effect on the economy of $100 

million or more or adversely affect in a 

material way the economy, a sector of 

the economy, productivity, competition, 

jobs, the environment, public health, or 

safety, or State, local, or Tribal 

governments or communities; (2) create 

a serious inconsistency or otherwise 

interfere with an action taken or 

planned by another agency; (3) 

materially alter the budgetary impact of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights and obligations of 

recipients thereof; or (4) raise novel 

legal or policy issues arising out of legal 

mandates, the President’s priorities, or 

the principles set forth in the Executive 

Order. OMB has exempted review of 

NPDES general permits under the terms 

of Executive Order 12866. 

IX. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

generally requires an agency to prepare 

a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 

rule subject to notice and comment rule 

making requirements under the 

Administrative Procedures Act (APA) or 

any other statute, unless the agency 

certifies that the rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Small entities include small businesses, 

small organizations, and small 

governmental jurisdictions. 

Issuance of an NPDES general permit 

is not subject to rule making 

requirements, including the requirement 

for a general notice of proposed rule 

making, under APA Section 533 or any 

other law, and is thus not subject to the 

RFA requirements. 

The APA defines two broad, mutually 

exclusive categories of agency action— 

‘‘rules’’ and ‘‘orders.’’ APA Section 

551(4) defines rule as ‘‘an agency 

statement of general or particular 

applicability and future effect designed 

to implement, interpret or prescribe law 

or policy or describing the organization, 

procedure, or practice or requirements 

of an agency . . . ’’ APA Section 551(6) 

defines orders as ‘‘a final disposition 

. . . of an agency in a matter other than 

rule making but including licensing.’’ 

APA Section 551(8) defines ‘‘license’’ to 

‘‘include . . . an agency permit . . . ’’ 

The APA thus categorizes a permit as an 

order, which by the APA’s definition is 

not a rule. Section 553 of the APA 

establishes ‘‘rule making’’ requirements. 

APA Section 551(5) defines ‘‘rule 

making’’ as ‘‘the agency process for 

formulating, amending, or repealing a 

rule.’’ By its terms, Section 553 applies 

only to rules and not to orders, 

exempting by definition permits. 

X. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 

Law 104–4, establishes requirements for 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their ‘‘regulatory actions’’ to refer to 

regulations. (See, e.g., UMRA Section 

401, ‘‘Each agency shall . . . assess the 

effects of Federal regulatory actions . . . 

(other than to the extent that such 

regulations incorporate requirements 

specifically set forth in law).’’) UMRA 

Section 102 defines ‘‘regulation’’ by 

reference to 2 U.S.C. 658 which in turn 

defines ‘‘regulation’’ and ‘‘rule’’ by 

reference to Section 601(2) of the RFA. 

That section of the RFA defines ‘‘rule’’ 

as ‘‘any rule for which the agency 

publishes a notice of proposed rule 

making pursuant to Section 553(b) of 

the APA, or any other law.’’ 

As discussed in the RFA section of 

this notice, NPDES general permits are 

not ‘‘rules’’ by definition under the APA 

and thus not subject to the APA 

requirement to publish a notice of 

proposed rule making. NPDES general 

permits are also not subject to such a 

requirement under the CWA. While EPA 

publishes a notice to solicit public 

comment on draft general permits, it 

does so pursuant to the CWA Section 

402(a) requirement to provide an 

opportunity for a hearing. Therefore, 

NPDES general permits are not ‘‘rules’’ 

for RFA or UMRA purposes. 

XI. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The information collection required 

by this permit has been approved by 

OMB under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq., in submission made for the 

NPDES permit program and assigned 

OMB control numbers 2040–0086 

(NPDES permit application) and 2040– 

0004 [(NPDES Discharge Monitoring 

Reports (DMRs)]. 

Because this permit is very similar in 

reporting and application requirements 

and in discharges which are required to 

be monitored as the previous Eastern 

Gulf of Mexico OCS general permit 

(GEG460000), the paperwork burdens 

are expected to be nearly identical. 

When it issued the previous OCS 

general permit, EPA estimated it would 

take an affected facility three hours to 

prepare the request for coverage and 38 

hours per year to prepare DMRs. It is 

estimated that the time required to 

prepare the request for coverage and 

DMRs for the reissued permit will be 

approximately the same.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[DA 16–720] 

Order Declares JuBe Communications, 

LLC’s International Section 214 

Authorization Terminated 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

International Bureau of the Federal 

Communications Commission 

(Commission) declares the international 

Section 214 authorization granted to 

JuBe Communications, LLC (JuBe) 

terminated given JuBe’s inability to 

comply with the express condition for 

holding the authorization. It also 

concludes that JuBe failed to comply 

with those requirements of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended (the Act) and the 

Commission’s rules that ensure that the 

Commission can contact and 

communicate with the authorization 

holder and verify JuBe is still providing 

service, which failures have prevented 

any way of addressing JuBe’s inability to 

comply with the condition of its 

authorization.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s Order, 

DA 16–720, adopted and released July 1, 

2016. 

Background 

Section 214(a) of the Act prohibits 

any carrier from constructing, 

extending, acquiring, or operating any 

line, and from engaging in transmission 

through any such line, without first 

obtaining a certificate of authorization 

from the Commission. Under Section 

214(c) of the Act, the Commission ‘‘may 

attach to the issuance of the certificate 

such terms and conditions as in its 

judgment the public convenience and 

necessity may require.’’ On July 27, 

2007, the International Bureau granted 

JuBe an international Section 214 

authorization to provide global or 

limited global facility-based service and 

global or limited global resale service in
