Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 121 / Monday, June 23, 2008 / Notices
Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires
that the Agency periodically review and
revise, as appropriate, the air quality
criteria and the NAAQS for the six
‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including lead.
EPA initiated its current review of the
NAAQS for lead in early 2005. In March
2008, the Subcommittee held a public
teleconference meeting to conduct a
consultation on technical issues relating
to the ambient air monitoring of PbPM10, including options for the Lead
NAAQS indicator, a draft Federal
Reference Method (FRM) for Pb-PM10,
lead monitoring network design, and
sampling frequency. The CASAC’s
report to the EPA Administrator
concerning this consultation (EPA–
CASAC–08–010, dated April 14, 2008)
is available on the EPA Web site at
https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
sabproduct.nsf/733B01113F8000A
A8525742C005C478D/$File/EPACASAC-08-010-unsigned.pdf.
On May 20, 2008, EPA published in
the Federal Register (FR 73 29184) its
proposed rule for the revision of the
NAAQS for Lead and associate leadmonitoring requirements. The proposed
revisions included a proposed FRM for
the measurement of Pb-PM10. In
addition, the preamble requested public
comments on the need and approaches
for the development of a low-volume
ambient air monitor for Pb in total
suspended particulate (TSP) FRM or
Federal Equivalent Method (FEM). The
purpose of the July 14, 2008 public
teleconference is for the Subcommittee
to conduct a technical peer review on
the proposed FRM for Pb-PM10 and to
provide a consultation on the need for
and approaches for development of a
low-volume Pb-TSP FRM or FEM. The
purpose of the August 18, 2008 public
teleconference is for the chartered
CASAC to review and approve the
Subcommittee’s draft report from its
review of the Pb-PM10 FRM.
Technical Contacts: Any technical
questions concerning the Agency’s
proposed FRM can be directed to Mr.
Kevin Cavender, OAQPS, at phone:
919–541–2364, or e-mail
cavender.kevin@epa.gov; or to Mr.
Lewis Weinstock, OAQPS, at phone:
919–541–3661, or e-mail
weinstock.lewis@epa.gov.
Availability of Meeting Materials: The
draft FRM for Pb-PM10 that will be the
subject of the peer review is contained
in the Federal Register notice for the
proposed rule (May 20, 2008, FR 73
29184). The Agency will post additional
documents to be discussed during this
consultation on the EPA Technology
Transfer Network (TTN) Web page for
the Lead NAAQS at https://

of these regimes is the regime set forth
in section 272 of the Communications
Act and the Commission’s
implementing rules, 47 CFR section 272.
Under this regime, a BOC and its section
272 affiliate may not jointly own
transmission and switching equipment.
The separate section 272 affiliate must
maintain separate books of account and
have separate officers and directors. The
separate section 272 affiliate may not
obtain credit under arrangements that
would permit the creditor to look to the
assets of the BOC. The section 272
affiliate must conduct all transactions
with the BOC on an arm’s length basis,
pursuant to the Commission’s affiliate
transaction rules, with the terms and
conditions of such transactions reduced
to writing and available for public
inspection on the Internet. Section
272(d) states that companies required to
maintain a separate affiliate ‘‘shall
obtain and pay for a Federal/State audit
every two years conducted by an
independent auditor to determine
whether such company has complied
with this section and the regulations
promulgated under this section, and
particularly whether such company has
complied with the separate accounting
requirements under [section 272(b)].’’
These information collection
requirements are intended to prevent
discrimination, cost misallocation and
other anti-competitive conduct by the
BOCs.
