Title: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Application and Program Updates Rule 
Abstract:

EPA is developing a final rule to update specific elements of the existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations. The rule would make targeted revisions to outdated application, permitting, monitoring and reporting requirements in order to eliminate inconsistencies between regulations and application forms, improve permit documentation and transparency, and clarify existing regulations. EPA is finalizing these items in two separate but related regulatory actions. This rule will address a subset of the items EPA proposed in 2016. EPA will finalize another subset of items which require more time to address in a new regulatory action under RIN 2040-AF85.
