as protective of public health and
welfare as applicable federal standards

C. Effect of Newer OBD II Amendments
on 1997 or 2003 Amendments
As stated above, EPA has previously
given notice and taken comments on
CARB’s requests for within-the-scope
determinations related to CARB’s 1997
and 2003 OBD II amendments. As those
requests are still pending, EPA will
additionally take comment on any
relevant effects of the 2007 and 2010
amendments on the prior 1997 and 2003
OBD II amendments. EPA will consider
such comments in any decision on
CARB’s 1997 and 2003 OBD II
amendments as well.
IV. Procedures for Public Participation
If a hearing is held, the Agency will
make a record of the proceedings.
Interested parties may arrange with the
reporter at the hearing to obtain a copy
of the transcript at their own expense.
Regardless of whether a public hearing
is held, EPA will keep the record open
until February 16, 2015. Upon
expiration of the comment period, EPA
will render a decision on CARB’s
request based on the record from the
public hearing, if any, all relevant
written submissions, and other
information that the Agency deems
pertinent. All information will be
available for inspection at the EPA Air
Docket No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0573.
Persons with comments containing
proprietary information must
distinguish such information from other
comments to the greatest extent possible
and label it as ‘‘Confidential Business
Information’’ (‘‘CBI’’). If a person
making comments wants EPA to base its
decision on a submission labeled as CBI,
then a non-confidential version of the
document that summarizes the key data
or information should be submitted to
the public docket. To ensure that
proprietary information is not
inadvertently placed in the public
docket, submissions containing such
information should be sent directly to
the contact person listed above and not
to the public docket. Information
covered by a claim of confidentiality
will be disclosed by EPA only to the
extent allowed, and according to the
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
If no claim of confidentiality

accompanies the submission when EPA
receives it, EPA will make it available
to the public without further notice to
the person making comments.

requires limited partners, Registered
Limited Liability Partnerships
(‘‘RLLPs’’), and Limited Liability
Companies (‘‘LLCs’’) attempting to
insulate themselves from attribution to
file a certification of ‘‘non-involvement’’
with the Commission. LLCs who submit
the non-involvement certification are
also required to submit a statement
certifying that the relevant state statute
authorizing LLCs permits an LLC
member to insulate itself in the manner
required by our criteria.
Sections 76.501 Note 2, 76.503 Note 2,
and 76.504 Note 1, also provides that
officers and directors of an entity are
considered to have a cognizable interest
in the entity with which they are
associated. If any such entity engages in
businesses in addition to its primary
media business, it may request the
Commission to waive attribution for any
officer or director whose duties and
responsibilities are wholly unrelated to
its primary business. The officers and
directors of a parent company of a
media entity with an attributable
interest in any such subsidiary entity
shall be deemed to have a cognizable
interest in the subsidiary unless the
duties and responsibilities of the officer
or director involved are wholly
unrelated to the media subsidiary and a
statement properly documenting this
fact is submitted to the Commission.
This statement may be included on the
Licensee Qualification Report.
47 CFR 76.503 Note 2(b)(1) includes

video-programming providers, any cable
operator that serves 20% or more of
multichannel video-programming
subscribers nationwide shall certify to

applications to the Commission for
transfer of licenses at issue in the
acquisition, that no violation of the
national subscriber limits prescribed in
this section will occur as a result of
such acquisition.’’
