9910 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2013 / Notices 

management in new development and 

redevelopment; and good housekeeping 

in municipal operations. 

Implementation of the SWMP involves 

the identification of BMPs and 

measurable goals for BMPs. The draft 

permit identifies an objective for each 

control measure. 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

the issues discussed in this notice or on 

other relevant matters. The public 

comment process and the public hearing 

will be conducted in accordance with 

40 CFR 124, EPA’s Procedures for 

Decisionmaking. EPA will consider and 

respond to all significant comments 

before taking final action. All persons, 

including applicants, who believe any 

condition of the draft permit is 

inappropriate must raise all reasonably 

ascertainable issues and submit all 

reasonably available arguments 

supporting their position by the close of 

the public comment period, either by 

submitting written comments to the 

EPA New England Regional Office listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal 

Register, or by submitting written or 

oral comments at the public hearing. 

Any supporting materials which are 

submitted shall be included in full and 

may not be incorporated by reference, 

unless they are already part of the 

administrative record in this 

proceeding, or consist of State or 

Federal statutes and regulations, EPA 

documents of general applicability, or 

other generally available reference 

materials. 

Other Legal Requirements 

A. Endangered Species Act 

The provisions related to the ESA 

have not been changed from those in the 

2008 draft permit. However, the Atlantic 

Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) has 

been added to the list of species of 

concern for this draft permit. EPA 

requested concurrence from the 

appropriate Federal services (U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service and National 

Marine Fisheries Service) in connection 

with the 2008 draft and has renewed 

this request for the new Draft Permit. 

B. Executive Order 12866 

EPA has determined that this general 

permit is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under the terms of Executive 

Order 12866 and is therefore not subject 

to OMB review. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The information collection 

requirements of this permit were 

previously approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 

and assigned OMB control number 

2040–0004. 

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 

5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., requires that EPA 

prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis 

for rules subject to the requirements of 

5 U.S.C. 553(b) that have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. However, general NPDES 

permits are not ‘‘rules’’ subject to the 

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b) and are 

therefore not subject to the RFA. 

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Section 201 of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), Public 

Law 104–4, generally requires Federal 

agencies to assess the effects of their 

‘‘regulatory actions’’ (defined to be the 

same as ‘‘rules’’ subject to the RFA) on 

tribal, state, and local governments and 

the private sector. However, general 

NPDES permits are not ‘‘rules’’ subject 

to the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

and are therefore not subject to the RFA 

or the UMRA. 

Authority: This action is being taken under 

the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

Comments are requested concerning: 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents,

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and ways to 

further reduce the information burden 

for small business concerns with fewer 

than 25 employees. The FCC may not 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

No person shall be subject to any
