System (NPDES) Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial 
Activities; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA published a new version of the NPDES Storm Water Multi-
Sector General Permit (MSGP) in the Federal Register of October 30, 
2000 (65 FR 64746), which replaced the first version issued on 
September 29, 1995 (60 FR 50804) and amended on February 9, 1996 (61 FR 
5248), February 20, 1996 (61 FR 5248), September 24, 1996 (61 FR 
50020), August 7, 1998 (63 FR 42534) and September 30, 1998 (63 FR 
52430). This general permit authorizes the discharge of storm water 
from industrial activities consistent with the terms of the permit. The 
permit contained incorrect dates, typographical errors and omissions 
from any of the following: The fact sheet portion of the final MSGP 
from October 30, 2000, the proposed MSGP from March 30, 2000 (65 FR 
17010), or the original 1995 version of the MSGP and subsequent 
amendments.

    2. On page 64749, in column 3, remove the sentence ``Certification 
was not received from Arizona in time for that state to be included in

    3. On page 64754, column 2, paragraph 1; and on page 64756, column 
1, paragraph 2, replace the date ``December 29, 2000'' with: ``January

of today's MSGP within 90 days after the effective date of this permit

    8. On pages 64804-64806 under Table 1-1.--SECTORS OF INDUSTRIAL 
ACTIVITY COVERED BY THIS PERMIT, Sectors Z and AA were omitted. Add 
this Sector information to Table 1-1 so it reads:

    Table 1.1.--Sectors of Industrial Activity Covered by this Permit

    9. On page 64809, in the footnotes at the bottom of the second 
column under footnote 2, replace ``Part 1.2.2.3'' with ``Part

    \2\ The provisions specified in Part 1.2.2.1.3 and Part 1.2.4 
related to documenting New Source reviews are requirements of Federal 
programs under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and will 
not apply to such facilities in the event that authority for the NPDES 
program has been assumed by the State/Tribe agency and administration 
of this permit has been transferred to the State/Tribe.
    10. On page 64810 under TABLE 2-1.--DEADLINES FOR NOI SUBMITTAL, 
correct the date under Deadline to read:

                 Table 2-1.--Deadlines for NOI Submittal

 Coverage).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    11. On page 64811, column 1, under part 2.2.4.1, remove the words 
``or proposed'' so that the sentence reads:

threatened or endangered species, or designated critical habitat, are 
in proximity to the storm water discharges or storm water discharge-
related activities to be covered by this permit;
    12. On page 64824, third column, under 6.G.4.4, correct the 
definition of Reclamation Phase to read:
    Reclamation phase--activities undertaken following the cessation of 
mining intended to return the land to an appropriate post-mining land 
use in order to meet applicable mined land reclamation requirements.
    13. On page 64827, under Table G-3, add ``(H)'' after Lead in 
column 4, row 9 (under the headings), and add ``Lead (H)'' in column 4, 
row 8 so those rows now read:
