a CWA general permit would place 

requirements on dischargers that are 

appropriate and reasonable. 

Furthermore, EPA believes that the 

RFA’s framework and requirements 

provide the Agency with the best 

approach for the Agency’s evaluation of 

the economic impact of general permits 

on small entities. While using the RFA 

framework to inform its assessment of 

whether permit requirements are 

appropriate and reasonable, EPA will 

also continue to ensure that all permits 

satisfy the requirements of the Clean 

Water Act. Accordingly, EPA has 

committed to operating in accordance 

with the RFA’s framework and 

requirements during the Agency’s 

issuance of CWA general permits (in 

other words, the Agency has committed 

that it will apply the RFA in its issuance 

of general permits as if those permits do 

qualify as ‘‘rules’’ that are subject to the 

RFA). 

B. Application of RFA Framework to 

Proposed Issuance of CAFO General 

Permit for New Mexico (Except Indian 

Country) 

EPA has determined, consistent with 

the discussion in section IV.B above, 

that the proposed issuance of today’s 

proposed permit would not affect a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Although general permits are 

considered to be adjudications and not 

rules and therefore not legally subject to 

the regulatory flexibility act, the Agency 

as a matter of policy is evaluating on an 

individual basis whether or not a 

specific general permit would have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

Upon considering EPA’s current 

guidance, entitled Final Guidance for 

EPA Rulewriters: Regulatory Flexibility 

Act as Amended by the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement and Fairness 

Act, EPA concludes that since this 

general permit affects less than 100 

small entities at any one time, EPA 

believes that it does not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities.
