Geotechnical General Permit is available

Oil Spill Requirements. Section 311 of
the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321, prohibits the
discharge of oil and hazardous materials
in harmful quantities. Discharges
authorized under the Geotechnical
General Permit are excluded from the
provisions of CWA Section 311, 33
U.S.C. 1321. However, the Geotechnical
General Permit will not preclude the
institution of legal action, or relieve the
permittees from any responsibilities,
liabilities, or penalties for other
unauthorized discharges of oil and
hazardous materials, which are covered
by Section 311.
Executive Order 12866. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
exempts this action from the review
requirements of Executive Order 12866
pursuant to Section 6 of that order.
Paperwork Reduction Act. EPA has
reviewed the requirements imposed on
regulated facilities in the Geotechnical
General Permit and finds them
consistent with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.
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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:07 Sep 19, 2014

Jkt 232001

concluded that NPDES general permits
are permits, not rulemakings, under the
APA and thus not subject to APA
rulemaking requirements or the FRA.
Notwithstanding that general permits
are not subject to the RFA, EPA has
determined that the Geotechnical
General Permit will not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This
determination is based on the fact that
the regulated companies are not
classified as small businesses under the
Small Business Administration
regulations established at 49 FR 5023 et
seq. (February 9, 1984). These facilities
are classified as Major Group 13—Oil as
Gas Extraction SIC 1311 Crude
Petroleum and Natural Gas.
Authority: This action is taken under the
authority of Section 402 of the Clean Water
Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1342. I hereby
provide notice that the public comment
period for the Geotechnical General Permit
re-proposal is reopened until September 30,
2014, in accordance with 40 CFR 124.10 and
124.13.
Dated: September 12, 2014.

Associate Director, Office of Water and
Watersheds, Region 10.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no assurance of confidentiality
provided to respondents concerning this
information collection. However,
respondents may request materials or
information submitted to the
Commission or to the Administrator be
withheld from public inspection under
47 CFR 0.459 of the FCC’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
seeks to revise OMB 3060–0806 to
conform this information collection
with changes implemented in the E-Rate
Modernization Order (WC Docket No.
13–184, FCC 14–99; 79 FR 49160,
August 19, 2014) which seeks to
promote the Act’s universal service
goals for schools and libraries. This
submission proposes revisions to the
FCC Form 470 and instructions and FCC
Form 471 and instructions. Collection of
the information on FCC Forms 470 and
471 is necessary so that the Commission
and USAC have sufficient information
to determine if entities are eligible for
funding pursuant to the schools and
libraries support mechanism, to
determine if entities are complying with
the Commission’s rules, and to prevent
waste, fraud, and abuse.
The changes to the collection required
by the E-rate Modernization Order
simplify the application process by
moving FCC Forms 470 and 471 to a
new electronic filing platform; enabling
streamlined review of funding requests
that involve multi-year contracts for
eligible services; implementing
exemptions in the competitive bidding
rules for applicants seeking E-rate
support to purchase certain
commercially available, business-class
Internet access services, and/or
applicants that take services on a
preferred master contract designated by
the Bureau; and, implementing a
simplified ‘‘district-wide’’ discount
calculation mechanism. In addition, the
revised collection is necessary in order
to allow the Commission to evaluate the
extent to which the E-rate program is
meeting the statutory objectives
specified in section 254(h) of the 1996
Act, and the Commission’s own
performance goals established in the Erate Modernization Order. The revisions
will enable the Commission to collect
data to facilitate measurement of
progress towards the adopted program
goals and to establish budgets for
schools and libraries, including more
detailed data on the nature of the
services requested.

submission, including revised forms
and instructions, may be accessed via
