National Rural Electric Cooperative Association recommends: a.EPA and the Corps withdraw the proposed rule and engage in meaningful dialogue with the regulated community and states about more reasonable, focused, and clear changes to existing regulations; and initiate a replacement advanced notice of proposed rulemaking or notice of proposed rulemaking that reflects those consultations and is supported by science and case law. b.EPA and the Corps fully comply with the RFA and take into account the impacts and concerns of small businesses. They should withdraw the proposal, convene an SBAR panel and complete a thorough RFA analysis prior to any reproposal. c.EPA and the Corps preserve an inclusive wastewater treatment system exclusion ? and provide an on-site water and wastewater management exclusion ? to avoid disrupting hundreds of thousands of existing industrial operations nationwide, impeding development of needed new infrastructure, and imposing substantial new regulatory burdens on the regulated community, states, and the agencies themselves.
