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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the proposed general permit 

and Fact Sheet are available upon 

request. Requests may be made to 

Audrey Washington at (206) 553–0523 

or to Cindi Godsey at (907) 271–6561.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

31736 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 126 / Thursday, July 2, 2009 / Notices 

Executive Order 12866: The Office of 

Management and Budget has exempted 

this action from the review 

requirements of Executive Order 12866 

pursuant to Section 6 of that order. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal agency 

must prepare an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis ‘‘for any proposed 

rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is required 

by section 553 of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), or any other law, 

to publish general notice of proposed 

rulemaking.’’ The RFA exempts from 

this requirement any rule that the 

issuing agency certifies ‘‘will not, if 

promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.’’ EPA has 

concluded that NPDES general permits 

are permits, not rulemakings, under the 

APA and thus not subject to APA 

rulemaking requirements or the RFA. 

Notwithstanding that general permits 

are not subject to the RFA, EPA has 

determined that this GP, as issued, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities.
