-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces issuance by all 10 Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Regions of the final 2021 National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) pesticide general permit (PGP)--
the 2021 PGP. The 2021 PGP, which has an effective date of October 31,
2021, replaces the existing permit (2016 PGP) that expires at midnight
on October 31, 2021, and authorizes certain point source discharges
from the application of pesticides to waters of the United States in
accordance with the terms and conditions described therein. EPA is
issuing this permit for five (5) years in all areas of the country
where EPA is the NPDES permitting authority.
DATES: The permit becomes effective on October 31, 2021, and will
expire at
[[Page 51666]]
midnight, October 31, 2026. In accordance with 40 CFR part 23, this
permit shall be considered issued for the purpose of judicial review on
September 30, 2021. Under section 509(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA),
judicial review of this general permit can be requested by filing a
petition for review in the United States Court of Appeals within 120
days after the permit is considered issued. Under section 509(b) of the
CWA, the requirements of this permit may not be challenged later in
civil or criminal proceedings to enforce these requirements. In
addition, this permit may not be challenged in other agency
proceedings. Deadlines for submittal of a Notices of Intent (NOI) to be
covered, if required, are provided in Part 1.2.3, Table 1-2 of the 2021
PGP.

II. Background
Section 301(a) of the CWA provides that ``the discharge of any
pollutant by any person shall be unlawful'' unless the discharge is in
compliance with certain other Sections of the Act. 33 U.S.C. 1311(a).
The CWA defines ``discharge of a pollutant'' as ``(A) any addition of
any pollutant to navigable waters from any point source and (B) any
addition of any pollutant to the waters of the contiguous zone or the
ocean from any point source other than a vessel or other floating
craft.'' 33 U.S.C. 1362(12). A ``point source'' is any ``discernible,
confined and discrete conveyance'' but does not include ``agricultural
stormwater discharges and return flows from irrigated agriculture.'' 33
U.S.C. 1362(14).
The term ``pollutant'' includes among other things ``garbage . . .
chemical wastes, biological materials . . . and industrial, municipal,
and agricultural waste discharged into water.'' 33 U.S.C. 1362(6).
A person may discharge a pollutant without violating the Section
301 prohibition by obtaining authorization to discharge (referred to
herein as ``coverage'') under a Section 402 NPDES permit (33 U.S.C.
1342). Under Section 402(a), EPA may ``issue a permit for the discharge
of any pollutant, or combination of pollutants, notwithstanding Section
1311(a)'' upon certain conditions required by the Act.
EPA issued the first Pesticide General Permit (``2011 PGP'') on
October 31, 2011, in response to the United States Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals ruling vacating EPA's 2006 Final Rule on Aquatic Pesticides.
National Cotton Council of America v. EPA, 553 F.3d 927 (6th Cir.
2009). EPA developed the PGP to control point source discharges of
biological pesticides and chemical pesticides that leave a residue into
waters of the United States. In 2016, EPA issued the second PGP (2016
PGP). EPA is issuing the 2021 PGP to replace the 2016 PGP which expires
at midnight on October 31, 2021. Similar to the 2011 PGP and 2016 PGP,
the 2021 PGP provides coverage for certain point source discharges of
pollutants to waters of the United States in areas where EPA is the
NPDES permitting authority.
EPA published the draft 2021 PGP and accompanying Fact Sheet in the
Federal Register on January 15, 2021 (86 FR 4070), soliciting comments
on the draft permit. EPA also conducted formal consultation with Indian
Tribal Governments. EPA received 8 written comment letters on the draft
permit. EPA considered all comments received during the comment period
in preparing the final permit. EPA responded to all significant
comments in the Response to Comment Document which is available as part
of the docket for this permit.
III. Summary of the 2021 PGP
A. Summary of Updates to the 2016 PGP and From the Proposed 2021 PGP
While the requirements of the 2021 PGP remain the same as those in
the 2016 PGP, some minor updates have been added and are discussed in
more detail in the 2021 PGP Fact Sheet. The draft 2021 PGP was proposed
on January 15, 2021 and EPA proposed keeping the same conditions and
requirements as the 2016 PGP as well as the following changes:
<bullet> Removed the out of date NOI provision that provided
automatic coverage for all Operators until January 12, 2017.
<bullet> Replaced the requirement to use the EPA's eNOI system with
EPA's NPDES eReporting Tool (NeT) when preparing and submitting NOIs,
NOTs, and annual reports.
<bullet> Updated Appendix A, Definitions, Abbreviations, and
Acronyms, to include the terms ``Pesticide discharges to waters of the
United States from pesticide application'' and ``pesticide residue,''
as defined in 40 CFR 122.2.
<bullet> Modified Appendix B, Standard Permit Conditions, to ensure
consistency with 40 CFR 122.41.
<bullet> Updated Appendix C, Areas Covered, to reflect coverage
changes by removing the State of Idaho, and added Indian Country within
Virginia and Indiana.
In response to the public comments received and the Endangered
Species Act Section 7 consultation, below is a summary of changes to
the draft 2021 PGP and discussed in more detail in the 2021 PGP Fact
Sheet:
<bullet> Clarified Part 1.1.2.4 of the PGP by changing the phrase
``not likely to adversely affect'' and clarified the supporting
documentation to be submitted with the Notice of Intent for the
eligibility criterion selected. Appendix D, Notice of Intent form, and
Appendix I, Endangered Species Procedures, are also updated to reflect
[[Page 51668]]
changes made in Part 1.1.2.4 of the permit.
<bullet> Corrected Part 1.2.3 of the PGP by adding back the
statement that Decision-makers may submit multiple NOIs with different
activities.
<bullet> Clarified Part 1.6 of the PGP by adding the term ``as a
result of a separate federal action.''
<bullet> Updated Part 2.2.3.b of the PGP to add cultural methods to
the list of management options Decision-maker must evaluate when
developing Pest Management Measures for animal pest control.
<bullet> Updated Part 9.0 of the PGP to reflect state and tribal
Clean Water Act Section 401 certifications.
<bullet> Updated Definitions, Abbreviations, and Acronyms, Appendix
A of the PGP to:
[cir] Correct the effective date in the definition for the
Decision-maker who is or will be required to submit an NOI.
[cir] update the definition for the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) Listed Resources of Concern to include the 2021
biological opinion.
[cir] add the definition for ``Take''.
[cir] add missing acronyms.
<bullet> Updated Appendix C of the PGP, Areas Covered, to remove
tribes who denied coverage under the permit, and to remove Texas' oil
and gas activities.
<bullet> Corrected Appendix F of the PGP, Pesticide Discharge
Evaluation Worksheet, by adding an introduction to the coversheet and
updating the instructions to point Operators to Part 7.3 of the PGP.
<bullet> Updated Appendix I of the PGP, Endangered Species
Procedures, to include list of pesticides that a NMFS' biological
opinion has determined the labeled use would jeopardize the continued
existence of ESA-listed species and/or adversely modify designated
critical habitat.
B. Summary of 2021 PGP Terms and Requirements
The 2021 PGP is similar to the 2016 PGP, and is structured in the
same nine parts: (1) Coverage under This Permit, (2) Technology-Based
Effluent Limitations, (3) Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations, (4)
Monitoring, (5) Pesticide Discharge Management Plan, (6) Corrective
Action, (7) Recordkeeping and Annual Reporting, (8) EPA Contact
Information and Mailing Addresses, and (9) Permit Conditions Applicable
to Specific States (including Territories) and Indian Country.
Additionally, as with the 2016 PGP, the 2021 PGP includes nine
appendices with additional conditions and guidance for permittees: (A)
Definitions, Abbreviations, and Acronyms, (B) Standard Permit
Conditions, (C) Areas Covered, (D) Notice of Intent (NOI) form, (E)
Notice of Termination (NOT) form, (F) Pesticide Discharge Evaluation
Worksheet (PDEW), (G) Annual Reporting Template, (H) Adverse Incident
Report Template, and (I) Endangered Species Procedures. A summary of
the 2021 PGP's requirements are provided in the 2021 PGP Fact Sheet.
C. 2021 PGP Cost Analysis and Future Cost-Benefit Considerations
The cost analysis accompanying this final permit monetizes and
quantifies certain incremental cost impacts of the final permit changes
as compared to the 2016 PGP. EPA analyzed each change in the 2021 PGP
considering the previous permit's requirements. The objective of the
cost analysis is to show where or to what extent the 2021 PGP
requirements impose an incremental increase in administrative and
compliance costs (such as sampling and monitoring costs) on Operators
in relation to costs that are already accounted for in the 2016 PGP.
EPA expects no incremental cost impact on entities that will be covered
under the 2021 PGP, including small businesses, since the requirements
in the permit are substantively the same as those found in both the
2016 PGP as well as the 2011 PGP. For further discussion, see Appendix
D of the fact sheet.
More broadly, EPA notes that additional unquantified costs and
benefits result from this action. In developing the next PGP (or
another NPDES general permit, as appropriate), EPA plans to estimate
the broader impacts arising from these actions, including costs and
benefits. Estimates under consideration may include: (1) Assessing how
costs and benefits are attributed between the PGP and applicable water
quality standards (including TMDLs) that may be in effect; (2)
developing a new modeling framework to assess how regulated entities
understand and implement control measures relating to existing and new
permit obligations; (3) examining whether any underlying cost and
benefit assumptions need to be updated; (4) examining more broadly how
EPA can analyze benefits when developing permits; (5) developing more
robust approaches to assessing uncertainties associated with the
analytic approaches, including how to quantitatively assess
uncertainties of key assumptions; and (6) developing a framework to
analyze the effort of cooperative federalism.
IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
The 2021 PGP is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.
V. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States. EPA believes that the 2021 PGP will
not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on minority populations, low-income populations,
and/or indigenous peoples because the requirements in the permit apply
equally to all pesticide applicators in areas where EPA is the
permitting authority. The provisions in the general permit increase the
level of environmental protection for all affected populations.
VI. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications as specified in E.O.
13175. It will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on
federally recognized tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. EPA
directly implements the NPDES Program, including the 2021 PGP when it
is finalized, in Indian country; therefore, in compliance with EPA
Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes, EPA
consulted with tribal officials early in the process to allow tribes to
have meaningful and timely input into the renewal of the PGP. In the
course of this consultation, EPA undertook the following activities:
<bullet> May 8, 2020--EPA emailed notification letters to tribal
leaders initiating consultation and coordination on the renewal of the
PGP.
<bullet> June 9, 2020--EPA held an informational webinar open to
all tribal representatives and reserved the last part of the
teleconference for official consultation comments. No official comments
were received during the webinar.
[[Page 51669]]
EPA did not receive any comments during the formal tribal
consultation period. EPA notes that as part of the finalization of this
permit, the agency completed Section 401 certification procedures with
all applicable tribes where this permit will apply (see Part 9 and
Appendix C of the PGP).
