For more information on this rulemaking, please visit https://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/ other/fossil/index.htm/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NODA that is the subject of this notice, and which was published in the Federal Register on August 29, 2007 (72 FR 49714), announces the availability of new information and data contained in three documents that the Agency is requesting public comments on, concerning the management of CCW in landfills and surface impoundments. The three documents that the Agency is requesting comments on are: A joint U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and EPA report entitled, Coal Combustion Waste Management at Landfills and Surface Impoundments, 1994–2004; a draft risk assessment conducted by EPA on the management of CCW in landfills and surface impoundments; and EPA’s damage case assessment. The Agency is soliciting comments on the extent to which the damage case information, the results of the risk assessment, and the new liner and ground water monitoring information from the DOE/EPA report should affect the Agency’s decisions. EPA is also requesting direct comment on the draft risk assessment document to help inform a planned peer review. In addition, the Agency has included in the docket to the NODA a rulemaking petition submitted by a number of citizens’ groups. Furthermore, the Agency has included in the docket to the NODA two approaches regarding the management of CCW, one prepared by the electric utility industry and the other prepared by a number of citizens’ groups. The Agency will consider all the information provided through the NODA, the comments and new information submitted on the NODA, as well as the results of a subsequent peer review of the risk assessment, as it continues to follow-up on its Regulatory Determination for CCW disposed of in landfills and surface impoundments. The comment period for the NODA was scheduled to end on November 27, 2007. However, a number of environmental groups (Earthjustice, Environmental Integrity Project, Clean Air Task Force, Kentucky Resources Council, Army for a Clean Environment, and Delaware Riverkeeper Network) have requested that EPA extend the comment period by 75 days, noting that PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57573 additional time is needed in order to comment meaningfully on the information contained in the NODA and to perform extensive analysis on several documents, some of which are highly technical. The commenters also noted that, due to the length and complexity of the draft risk assessment (‘‘Human and Ecological Risk Assessment of Coal Combustion Wastes’’), it will be necessary to engage expert review that will consequently increase the time necessary to prepare their comments. EPA believed that the 90-day public comment period originally established was reasonable. However, since the Agency will be considering all the information provided through the comments and new information submitted on the NODA, as well as the results of a subsequent peer review of the risk assessment, we believe it is important that commenters have adequate time to analyze the data noticed in the NODA so that they may provide informed and meaningful comments to the Agency. Therefore, we have decided to extend the comment period by 60 days, thereby extending the comment period to 150 days. We believe an additional 60 days is adequate for commenters to analyze the data noticed in the NODA and available in the docket to the NODA. Because the 60-day extension ends on January 26, 2008, which is a Saturday, the comment period will actually be extended until the following Monday, January 28, 2008. Dated: September 28, 2007.

The Council will continue to advise the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) on rapidly evolving and competitively significant numbering issues facing the telecommunications industry. In October 1995, the Commission established the North American Numbering Council, a federal advisory committee created pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., App. 2 (1988), to advise the Commission on issues related to North American Numbering Plan (NANP) administration in the United States, including local number portability administration issues. The original charter of the Council was effective on October 5, 1995, establishing an initial two-year term. Amended charters were filed on October 5, 1997, October 5, 1999, October 5, 2001, October 5, 2003, and September 26, 2005 each renewing the term of the charter for an additional two years. Since the last charter renewal, the Council has provided the Commission with critically important recommendations regarding number administration, such as the development and recommendation of interim and permanent guidelines for pseudo Automatic Number Identification administration. In addition, the Council developed and recommended technical requirements for a request for proposals associated with a new Pooling Administrator (PA) contract. The Council also provided detailed evaluations of the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA) and the PA. The Council will continue to evaluate the NANPA’s and the PA’s performances annually. Moreover, the Council is presently considering and formulating recommendations on other important numbering-related issues that will require work beyond the term of the present charter.

The value of this federal advisory committee to the telecommunications industry and to the American public cannot be overstated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Released October 2, 2007.
    The GSA has renewed the charter of the North American Numbering 
Council (Council) through September 27, 2009. The Council will continue 
to advise the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) on rapidly 
evolving and competitively significant numbering issues facing the 
telecommunications industry.
    In October 1995, the Commission established the North American 
Numbering Council, a federal advisory committee created pursuant to the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., App. 2 (1988), to advise the 
Commission on issues related to North American Numbering Plan (NANP) 
administration in the United States, including local number portability 
administration issues. The original charter of the Council was 
effective on October 5, 1995, establishing an initial two-year term. 
Amended charters were filed on October 5, 1997, October 5, 1999, 
October 5, 2001, October 5, 2003, and September 26, 2005 each renewing 
the term of the charter for an additional two years.
    Since the last charter renewal, the Council has provided the 
Commission with critically important recommendations regarding number 
administration, such as the development and recommendation of interim 
and permanent guidelines for pseudo Automatic Number Identification 
administration. In addition, the Council developed and recommended 
technical requirements for a request for proposals associated with a 
new Pooling Administrator (PA) contract. The Council also provided 
detailed evaluations of the North American Numbering Plan Administrator 
(NANPA) and the PA. The Council will continue to evaluate the NANPA's 
and the PA's performances annually.
    Moreover, the Council is presently considering and formulating 
recommendations on other important numbering-related issues that will 
require work beyond the term of the present charter. The term of the 
Council's renewed charter begins September 27, 2007 and runs through 
September 27, 2009.
    The value of this federal advisory committee to the 
telecommunications industry and to the American public cannot be 
overstated. Numbers are the means by which consumers gain access to, 
and reap the benefits of, the public switched telephone network. The 
Council's recommendations to the Commission will facilitate fair and 
efficient number administration in the United States, and will ensure 
that numbering resources are available to all telecommunications 
service providers on a fair and equitable basis, consistent with the 
requirements of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
