SUMMARY: Two GPs regulating the
activities of mechanical placer mining
and suction dredge mining for gold
placer mining operations in the state of
Alaska expire on October 3, 2005. On
April 21, 2005, EPA proposed to reissue
these two GPs. There was a 45 day
comment period.
During the comment period, EPA
received comments on the mechanical
GP regarding coverage area prohibitions
and metals limitations. The GP remains
the same as the current GP.
EPA received similar comments as
those described above for the mediumsize suction dredge GP as well as
concern about Endangered Species and
the interpretation of a Best Management
Practice (BMP). The general permit
contains new language on the
possibility of requiring an individual
permit in areas of concern for
Endangered Species and a part of a BMP
has been removed. A Response to
PO 00000
Frm 00042

Comments was prepared for each
general permit. EPA has determined that
each facility submitting a new Notice of
Intent (NOI) prior to the expiration date
of the current permit will be
automatically covered by the re-issued
GP.
The GPs will be effective October
7, 2005. Since coverage between the
current GPs and the reissued GPs is
continuous, there is no administrative
extension of coverage under these GPs.
DATES:
Copies of the GPs and
Responses to Comments are available
upon request. Written requests may be
submitted to EPA, Region 10, 1200 Sixth
Avenue OWW–130, Seattle, WA 98101.

COMMISSION
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice of Public Information
Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
for Extension Under Delegated
Authority
Executive Order 12866
September 1, 2005.
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this action from the
review requirements of Executive Order
12866 pursuant to Section 6 of that
order.
The state of Alaska, Department of
Environmental Conservation (ADEC),
has certified that the subject discharges
comply with the applicable provisions
of Sections 208(e), 301, 302, 306 and
307 of the Clean Water Act.
The state of Alaska, Department of
Natural Resources, Office of Project
Management and Permitting, Alaska
Coastal Management Program (ACMP)
determined that the GPs did not require
a new ACMP review.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal
agency must prepare an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis ‘‘for any
proposed rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is
required by section 553 of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), or
any other law, to publish general notice
of proposed rulemaking.’’ The RFA
exempts from this requirement any rule
that the issuing agency certifies ‘‘will
not, if promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.’’ EPA has
concluded that NPDES general permits
are permits, not rulemakings, under the
APA and thus not subject to APA
rulemaking requirements or the RFA.
Notwithstanding that general permits
are not subject to the RFA, EPA has
determined that these general permits,
as issued, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burden
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104–13.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act that does not
display a valid control number.
Comments are requested concerning (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before November 7,
2005. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: You may submit your
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
comments by email or U.S. postal mail.

Title: Reallocation and Service Rules
for the 698–746 MHz Band (Television
Channels 52–59).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit and state, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 715.
Estimated Time Per Response: .50
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 358 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
adopted allocation and service rules for
the 698–746 MHz spectrum band which
is being reallocated pursuant to
statutory requirements. The
Commission took this action to support
the development of new services in the
lower 700 MHz band, and to protect
existing television operations that will
occupy the band throughout the
transition to digital television.
Section 27.50(c)(5) provides that
licensees intending to operate a base or
fixed station at a power level greater
than 1 kW ERP must provide advanced
notice of such operation to the
Commission and to licensees authorized
in their area of operation. Licensees that
must be notified are all licensees
authorized under this part to operate a
base or fixed station on an adjacent
spectrum block at a location within 75
km of the base or fixed station operating
at a power level greater than 1 kW ERP.
Notices must provide the location and
operating parameters of the base or fixed
station operating at a power level greater
than 1 kW ERP, including the station’s
ERP, antenna coordinates, antenna
height above ground, and vertical
antenna pattern, and such notices must
be provided at least 90 days prior to the
commencement of station operation.
The information will be used to aid the
Commission in reclaiming and
reallocating the lower 700 MHz band
currently used for TV channels 52–59
for new commercial services as part of
the Commission’s transition of TV
broadcasting from analog to digital
transmission systems, while retaining
the existing broadcast allocation.
Further, the service rules have been
designed to promote the development
and rapid deployment of new
technologies, products, and services for
the benefit of the public; to promote
economic opportunity and competition;
and to create the efficient and intensive
