uses RLF supplemental funds for 

remediation activities at a public 

building or to carry out a public work, 

the Buy American provisions of the 

Recovery Act apply. For example, if a 

private sector developer were to use an 

RLF loan to install a cap at a public 

building, the Buy American provisions 

of the Recovery Act would apply. 

Similarly, if a non-profit RLF subgrantee 

were to construct an alternate drinking 

water system connected to a public 

system as part of a remedial action at a 

brownfield site, the Buy American 

provisions of the Recovery Act would 

apply to the loan or subgrant. There may 

be other situations in which the Buy 

American provisions apply to the use of 

RLF supplemental funds by nongovernmental borrowers and 

subgrantees for remediation activities at 

public buildings or public works as 

well. 

Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews: Under Executive Order 12866 

(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 

action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ and is therefore not subject to 

OMB review. Because this grant action 

is not subject to notice and comment 

requirements under the Administrative 

Procedures Act or any other statute, it 

is not subject to the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) or 

sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1999 (UMRA) 

(Pub. L. 104–4). In addition, this action 

does not significantly or uniquely affect 

small governments. Although this action 

does not generally create new binding 

legal requirements, where it does, such 

requirements do not substantially and 

directly affect Tribes under Executive 

Order 13175 (63 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000). Although this grant action does 

not have significant Federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), 

EPA consulted with states in the 

development of these grant guidelines. 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning 

Regulations that Significantly Affect 

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 

FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is 

not a significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. This action does 

not involve technical standards; thus, 

the requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. This action does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The Congressional 

Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) 

generally provides that before certain 

actions may take effect, the agency 

promulgating the action must submit a 

report, which includes a copy of the 

action, to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States. Since this grant action, 

when finalized, will contain legally 

binding requirements, it is subject to the 

Congressional Review Act, and EPA will 

submit its final action in its report to 

Congress under the Act.

Proposed Reissuance of a General 

NPDES Permit for Facilities Related to 

Oil and Gas Extraction—Permit 

Number AKG–33–0000 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed reissuance of a general 

permit. 

SUMMARY: On January 2, 2009, the 

general permit (GP) regulating activities 

related to the extraction of oil and gas 

on the North Slope of the Brooks Range 

in the state of Alaska expired. This 

proposed reissuance of a general permit 

is intended to regulate activities related 

to the extraction of oil and gas on the 

North Slope of the Brooks Range in the 

state of Alaska plus the proposed area 

expansion described in the Fact Sheet. 

The proposed general permit would 

cover the same discharges as the 

previous general permit except for the 

domestic wastewater discharges. The 

covered discharges include gravel pit 

dewatering, construction dewatering, 

hydrostatic test water, mobile spill 

response, and storm water from 

industrial activities. The proposed 

reissuance also includes a new outfall 

designation for the discharge of 

secondary containment water. When 

issued, the proposed permit will 

establish effluent limitations, standards, 

prohibitions and other conditions on 

discharges from covered facilities. These 

conditions are based on existing 

national effluent guidelines, the state of 

Alaska’s Water Quality Standards and 

material contained in the administrative 

record. A description of the basis for the 

conditions and requirements of the 

proposed general permit is given in the 

Fact Sheet. This is also notice of the 

draft Section 401 Certification provided 

by the state of Alaska, the Consistency 

Determination under the Alaska Coastal 

Management Program, and the 

termination of administrative extensions 

as described in the Fact Sheet. 

DATES: Interested persons may submit 

comments on the proposed reissuance 

of the general permit to EPA, Region 10 

at the address below. Comments must 

be postmarked by August 17, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

general permit reissuance should be 

sent to the attention of the Director, 

Office of Water & Watersheds, EPA— 

Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue Suite 900 

OWW–130, Seattle, WA 98101. 

Comments may also be submitted 

electronically to godsey.cindi@epa.gov.
