FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Regional Administrator of EPA’s
New England Regional Office is
providing notice of availability of a
preliminary determination that certain
stormwater discharges in the Charles
River watershed located in Bellingham,
Milford, and Franklin, Massachusetts
will be required to obtain NPDES
permits. Under Clean Water Act (CWA)
Section 402(p) (33 U.S.C. 1342(p)),
Congress required the EPA to establish
permitting requirements for certain
stormwater discharges. In addition,
CWA Sections 402(p)(2)(E) and
402(p)(6) and implementing regulations
at 40 CFR 122.26 (a)(9)(i)(C) and (D)
provide that the EPA Regional
Administrator may designate additional
stormwater discharges as requiring
NPDES permits where he determines
that:
1. Stormwater controls are needed for
the discharge based on wasteload
allocations that are part of ‘‘total
maximum daily loads’’ that address the
pollutant of concern (in this case
phosphorus), or
2. The discharge, or category of
discharges within a geographic area,
contributes to a violation of a water
quality standard or is a significant
contributor of pollutants to waters of the
United States.
The EPA Regional Administrator for
the New England Region has made a
preliminary determination pursuant to
Section 402(p) of the Clean Water Act
and 40 CFR 122.26 (9)(i)(C) and (D) that
stormwater controls and NPDES permits
are needed for discharges to waters of
the United States from impervious
surfaces equal to or greater than two
acres, with certain exceptions, in the
Charles River watershed located in
Bellingham, Milford, and Franklin,
Massachusetts. Details on these
exceptions, as well as other details of
the preliminary determination, are
available in the preliminary residual
designation document. This document
and ancillary materials may be viewed
on the EPA New England Regional
Office’s Web page pertaining to
excessive nutrients in the Charles River,

Commission will require participating
CMS providers to participate in required
monthly tests (RMT) of the CMAS that
are initiated by the Federal Alert
Gateway Administrator. Participating
CMS providers must distribute these

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 247 / Tuesday, December 23, 2008 / Notices
by a response code to the Federal Alert
Gateway. A participating CMS provider
must retain an automated log of the
RMT messages received by the CMS
Provider Gateway from the Federal Alert
Gateway. In addition to the RMTs,
participating CMS providers must
participate in periodic testing of the
interface between the Federal Alert
Gateway and its CMS Provider Gateway
that is not intended to test the CMS
provider’s infrastructure or mobile
devices, but rather is required to ensure
the availability/viability of both gateway
functions. Each CMS Provider Gateway
shall send an acknowledgement to the
Federal Alert Gateway upon receipt of
such an interface test message. The
Commission will use this information to
ensure the continued functioning of the
CMAS, thus complying with the WARN
Act and the Commission’s obligation to
promote the safety of life and property
through the use of wire and radio
communication.

Section 15.525 and Part 15 requires

obtain approval before the UWB
equipment may be used. Initial
operation in a particular area may not
commence until the information has
been sent to the Commission and no
prior approval is required. The
information will be used to coordinate
the operation of the Ultra Wideband
transmission systems in order to avoid
interference with sensitive U.S.
government radio systems. The UWB
operators will be required to provide the
name, address and other pertinent
contact information of the user, the
desired geographical area of operation,
and the FCC ID number, and other
nomenclature of the UWB device. This
information will be collected by the
Commission and forwarded to the
National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA)
under the U.S. Department of
Commerce. This information collection
is essential to controlling potential
interference to Federal radio
communications. Since initial operation
in a particular area does not require
approval from the FCC to operate the
equipment.
