SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Correction 

In the Federal Register of May 27, 

2021 in notice FR Doc. 2021–11276, 

beginning on page 28596, make the 

following corrections: 

1. On page 25896, third column, in 

the ‘‘FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT:’’ section, the contact person 

listed was incorrect. Please contact 

Kathy Hurld using the contact 

information in the ‘‘FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT:’’ section of this 

document. 

2. On page 28596, third column, and 

continuing on the first column of page 

28597, in the ‘‘SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION:’’ section, correct the five 

full paragraphs of the ‘‘Abstract’’ 

section, to read as follow: 

‘‘Abstract: Section 404(g) of the 

Federal Water Pollution Control Act 

(FWPCA/Clean Water Act (CWA)), 

authorizes states and tribes to assume 

the section 404 permit program for 

discharges of dredged or fill material 

into certain waters of the United States. 

This ICR covers the collection of 

information that EPA needs to perform 

its program approval and oversight 

responsibilities and that the state or 

tribe needs to implement its program. 

Request to assume CWA section 404 

permit program. States and tribes must 

demonstrate that they meet the statutory 

and regulatory requirements at 40 CFR 

part 233 for an approvable program. 

Specified information and documents 

must be submitted by the state or tribe 

to EPA to request assumption and must 

be sufficient to enable EPA to conduct 

an analysis of the state or tribal 

program. The information contained in 

the assumption request submission is 

provided to the other involved federal 

agencies and to the general public for 

review and comment. 

Permit application information. States 

and tribes with assumed programs must 

be able to issue permits that assure 

compliance with all applicable statutory 

and regulatory requirements, including 

the CWA section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. 

Sufficient information must be provided 

in the application so that states or tribes 

and federal agencies reviewing the 

permit are able to evaluate, avoid, 

minimize, and compensate for any 

anticipated impacts resulting from the 

proposed project. EPA’s assumption 

regulations at 40 CFR 233.30 establish 

required and recommended elements 

that should be included in the state or 

tribe’s permit application, so that 

sufficient information is available to 

assess anticipated impacts. These 

minimum information requirements 

generally reflect the information that 

must be submitted when applying for a 

section 404 permit from the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers. (CWA section 

404(h); CWA section 404(j); 40 CFR 

230.10, 233.20, 233.21, 233.34, and 

233.50; 33 CFR 325)). 

Annual report and program 

information. EPA has an oversight role 

for assumed section 404 permit 

programs to ensure that state or tribal 

programs comply with applicable 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
33282 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 119 / Thursday, June 24, 2021 / Notices 

requirements. States and tribes must 

evaluate their programs annually and 

submit the results in a report to EPA. 

EPA’s assumption regulations at 40 CFR 

233.52 establish minimum requirements 

for the annual report. 

The information included in the state 

or tribe’s assumption request and the 

information included in a permit 

application is made available for public 

review and comment. The information 

included in the annual report to EPA is 

made available to the public. EPA does 

not make any assurances of 

confidentiality for this information.’’ 

3. On page 28597, in the first and 

second columns, the paragraphs with 

the italicized headings: ‘‘Estimated 

number of respondents:’’, ’’ Total 

estimated burden:’’, ‘‘Total estimated 

cost:’’, and ‘‘Changes in estimates:’’ are 

corrected to read as follows: 

‘‘Estimated number of respondents: 

Two states to request program 

assumption; 11,278 permit applicants; 

and five state annual reports.’’ 

‘‘Total estimated burden: 218,880 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b).’’ 

‘‘Total estimated cost: Costs to states 

for assumed section 404 permit 

programs will vary widely by state and 

permit; however, the total estimated 

costs for five programs is $7,183,445 

and costs to permittees in state-assumed 

programs is $1,900,236. There are $0 

capital or operation and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is an 

increase of 89,920 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. There are several reasons for this 

increase: (1) On December 17, 2020, 

Florida assumed the program; (2) a 

small increase in the estimate of hours 

required to assume a program based on 

information provided by Michigan and 

New Jersey, the two states that were 

approved by EPA to administer a state 

dredge and fill program at the time of 

the 60 day notice; (3) EPA’s new 

interpretation regarding its obligation to 

conduct consultation under the 

Endangered Species Act and the 

National Historic Properties Act when 

considering requests from States and 

Tribes to assume the program; (4) the 

burden to state permittees has been 

included; and (5) a small increase in the 

estimated hours for permit review by 

Michigan and New Jersey, for compiling 

the annual report. EPA has reduced its 

estimate for the number of permits per 

state based on data provided by 

Michigan and New Jersey.’’

the environment. Such statements apply 

to premanufacture notices (PMNs), 

microbial commercial activity notices 

(MCANs), and significant new use
