Bill > HR2093

This bill amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to modify the terms of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, which are regulatory licenses that control water pollution from point sources like industrial facilities. Specifically, the bill sets new maximum time limits for these permits: state and municipal permits can now be issued for up to 10 years, while permits for other entities (such as private companies) will be limited to 5 years. The bill also makes several technical corrections to the existing law, such as standardizing capitalization (changing "federal" to "Federal") and improving cross-references within the statute. These changes aim to provide clearer guidance on permit duration and ensure more consistent language in the water pollution control regulations. The modifications are relatively minor but could impact how long water discharge permits remain valid for different types of permit holders.
