Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to convert a
conditional approval in the West
Virginia State Implementation Plan
(SIP) to a full approval. The SIP revision
pertains to nitrogen oxides (NOX)
emission reductions required in West
Virginia to meet Phase II of the NOX SIP
Call (Phase II). In order to meet the
Phase II submission due date, the West
Virginia Department of Environmental
Protection (WVDEP) adopted its Phase II
requirements under its emergency rule
procedures. EPA granted conditional
approval of the emergency rule
contingent upon the WVDEP adopting a
permanent rule with an effective date no
later than the June 2, 2006 sunset date
of its emergency rule and submitting the
permanent rule as a formal SIP revision
to EPA by July 1, 2006. West Virginia
has met all the terms of the conditional
approval by adopting its permanent rule
with an effective date of May 1, 2006,
and submitting the permanent rule to
EPA before July 1, 2006. In the Final
Rules section of this Federal Register,
EPA is converting the conditional
approval of the State’s SIP revision to a
full approval as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
VerDate Aug<31>2005

receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
I. Background
On February 7, 1974, the Bureau of
Reclamation published 43 CFR Part 421,
Rules of Conduct at Hoover Dam, to
address matters of security and public
conduct at the dam site. On November
12, 2001, Congress enacted Public Law
107–69 (now codified at 43 U.S.C. 373b
and 373c), to provide law enforcement
authority within Reclamation projects
and on Reclamation lands. Section 1(a)
of Public Law 107–69 requires
Reclamation to issue regulations to
maintain law and order and protect
persons and property on all Reclamation
projects. Pursuant to that statutory
requirement, Reclamation issued a final
rule, 43 CFR Part 423, Public Conduct
on Bureau of Reclamation Lands and
Projects, on April 17, 2002, and
replaced that rule with a more
comprehensive rule on April 17, 2006.
Initially, Reclamation concluded that
Hoover Dam need not be included
under the new public conduct rule
because 43 CFR Part 421 was already in
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:43 Sep 27, 2006
Jkt 208001
place and was sufficient to serve the
needs of the Hoover Dam area. However,
upon further review, Reclamation has
determined that it would be desirable to
make all Reclamation projects subject to
the same set of public conduct
regulations. Having a single
Reclamation public conduct rule will
help reduce possibilities for confusion
on the part of visitors to Reclamation
projects.
Reclamation has also determined that
rescinding 43 CFR Part 421 and making
the Hoover Dam area subject to the new
public conduct rule will not result in
significant impacts to the public.
II. Procedural Requirements
1. Regulatory Planning and Review (E.O.
12866)
The Office of Management and Budget
has determined that this document is
not a significant rule and has not
reviewed this rule under Executive
Order 12866. We have conducted the
analyses required by E.O. 12866 and the
results are given below.
(a) This rule will not have an effect of
$100 million or more on the economy.
It will not adversely affect in a material
way the economy, productivity,
competition, jobs, the environment,
public health or safety, or State, local,
or tribal governments or communities.
This rule only addresses public conduct
at Hoover Dam.
(b) This rule will not create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by
another agency. This rule only
addresses public conduct at Hoover
Dam.
(c) This rule does not alter the
budgetary effects of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights
or obligations of their recipients. This
rule only addresses public conduct at
Hoover Dam.
(d) This rule does not raise novel legal
or policy issues. This rule only
addresses public conduct at Hoover
Dam.
2. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Department of the Interior
certifies that this document will not
have a significant economic effect on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). This rule only
addresses public conduct at Hoover
Dam.
3. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA)
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
This rule:
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
(a) Does not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more.
This rule only addresses public conduct
at Hoover Dam.
(b) Does not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies, or
geographic regions. This rule only
addresses public conduct at Hoover
Dam.
(c) Does not have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises.
This rule only addresses public conduct
at Hoover Dam.
4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule does not impose an
unfunded mandate on State, local, or
tribal governments or the private sector
of more than $100 million per year. The
rule does not have a significant or
unique effect on State, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector. This
rule only addresses public conduct at
Hoover Dam. A statement containing the
information required by the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) is not required.
5. Takings (E.O. 12630)
Under the criteria in Executive Order
12630, the rule does not have significant
takings implications. This rule only
addresses public conduct at Hoover
Dam. A takings implication assessment
is not required.
6. Federalism (E.O. 13132)
Under the criteria in Executive Order
13132, the rule does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
This rule only addresses public conduct
at Hoover Dam. A Federalism
Assessment is not required.
7. Civil Justice Reform (E.O. 12988)
This rule complies with the
requirements of Executive Order 12988.
Specifically, this rule:

requiring that all regulations be
reviewed to eliminate errors and
ambiguity and be written to minimize
litigation;

requiring that all regulations be written
in clear language and contain clear legal
standards.
8. Consultation With Indian Tribes (E.O.
13175)
Under the criteria in E.O. 13175, we
have evaluated this rule and determined
E:\FR\FM\28SEP1.SGM
28SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 188 / Thursday, September 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules
that it has no potential effects on
federally recognized Indian Tribes. This
rule only addresses public conduct at
Hoover Dam.
9. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not require an
information collection from 10 or more
parties and a submission under the
Paperwork Reduction Act is not
required. An OMB form 83-I is not
required.
10. National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. A
detailed statement under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 is not
required.
11. Data Quality Act
In developing this rule we did not
conduct or use a study experiment, or
survey requiring peer review under the
Data Quality Act (Pub. L. 106–554).
12. Effects on the Energy Supply (E. O.
13211)
This rule is not a significant energy
action under the definition in Executive
Order 13211. A statement of energy
effects is not required.
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS
13. Clarity of This Regulation
We are required by Executive Orders
12866 and 12988 and by the
Presidential Memorandum of June 1,
1998, to write all rules in plain
language. This means each rule we
publish must:
—Be logically organized;
—Use the active voice to address
readers directly;
—Use clear language rather than jargon;
—Be divided into short sections and
sentences;
—Use lists and tables wherever
possible.
If you feel we have not met these
requirements, send us comments as
instructed in the ADDRESSES section. To
better help us revise the rule, your
comments should be as specific as
possible. For example, you should tell
us the numbers of the specific sections
that are unclearly written, which
sections or sentences are too long, the
sections where you feel lists or table
would be useful, etc.
14. Public Comments
If you wish to comment on this
proposed rule, you may submit your
comments by any of the methods listed
in the ADDRESSES section. Our practice
is to make comments, including names
and addresses of respondents, available
for public review during business hours.

In some circumstances we may
withhold from the rulemaking record a
respondent’s identity or home address,
as allowable by law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address,
you must indicate your request
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. However, we will not
consider anonymous comments. We
will make all submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.

Notice of proposed rulemaking.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission proposes licensing
procedures and service rules for
satellites providing Direct Broadcast
Satellite (DBS) service. The Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) seeks
comment on proposals that will apply to
any application for authority to provide
DBS service in the United States using
the 12.2–12.7 GHz band and associated
feeder links in the 17.3–17.8 GHz band.
This includes both unassigned channels
at orbit locations assigned to the United
States under the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) Region
2 Broadcasting-Satellite Service (BSS)
and feeder-link Plans, and applications
for DBS service from space stations
located at orbital locations not assigned
to the United States in the ITU Region
2 BSS and feeder-link Plans. The NPRM
seeks comment on new licensing
procedures, including the use of the
first-come, first-served process for all
DBS applications, regardless of the
proposed orbit location. Alternatively,
the NPRM requests comment on
whether DBS should continue to be
licensed outside the scope of the
Commission’s first-come, first-served
satellite application processing
procedures, and if so, what processing
framework should be used to license
DBS. The NPRM also seeks comment
on: What additional issues the
Commission should consider in
situations involving non-nine-degree
spaced DBS applications; whether all
the licensing procedures applicable to
other satellite services (e.g.,
performance bonds, milestones, and
annual reports) should apply to DBS
systems; how to resolve impasses in
operator-to-operator coordination
negotiations; whether new license terms
should be adopted for all current and
future U.S.-licensed DBS systems; and
other issues, including what, if any,
action is needed to address the impact
of reduced spacing DBS on other
services.

that it has no potential effects on federally recognized Indian Tribes.
This rule only addresses public conduct at Hoover Dam.

more parties and a submission under the Paperwork Reduction Act is not
required. An OMB form 83-I is not required.
10. National Environmental Policy Act
This rule does not constitute a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment. A detailed statement
under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 is not required.
11. Data Quality Act
In developing this rule we did not conduct or use a study
experiment, or survey requiring peer review under the Data Quality Act
(Pub. L. 106-554).
12. Effects on the Energy Supply (E. O. 13211)
This rule is not a significant energy action under the definition
in Executive Order 13211. A statement of energy effects is not
required.
13. Clarity of This Regulation
We are required by Executive Orders 12866 and 12988 and by the
Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 1998, to write all rules in plain
language. This means each rule we publish must:
--Be logically organized;
--Use the active voice to address readers directly;
--Use clear language rather than jargon;
--Be divided into short sections and sentences;
--Use lists and tables wherever possible.
If you feel we have not met these requirements, send us comments as
instructed in the ADDRESSES section. To better help us revise the rule,
your comments should be as specific as possible. For example, you
should tell us the numbers of the specific sections that are unclearly
written, which sections or sentences are too long, the sections where
you feel lists or table would be useful, etc.
14. Public Comments
If you wish to comment on this proposed rule, you may submit your
comments by any of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section. Our
practice is to make comments, including names and addresses of
respondents, available for public review during business hours. In some
circumstances we may withhold from the rulemaking record a respondent's
identity or home address, as allowable by law. If you wish us to
withhold your name and/or address, you must indicate your request
prominently at the beginning of your comment. However, we will not
consider anonymous comments. We will make all submissions from
organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or
businesses, available for public inspection in their entirety.
