periodically review and, if appropriate,
revise the NAAQS based on the revised
criteria.
Air quality criteria have been
established for sulfur oxides (SOX) and
NAAQS have been established for sulfur
dioxide (SO2), an indicator for gaseous
SOX. Presently, EPA is in the process of
reviewing the NAAQS for SO2. As part
of its review of the NAAQS, EPA
prepared an assessment of exposures
and health risks associated with
ambient SO2. A plan describing the
proposed approaches to assessing
exposures and risks was described in
Sulfur Dioxide Health Assessment Plan:
Scope and Methods for Exposure and
Risk Assessment. This document was
released for public review and comment
in November 2007 and was the subject
of a consultation with the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
on December 5–6, 2007. Comments
received from that consultation were
considered in developing a draft
document, Risk and Exposure
Assessment to Support the Review of the
SO2 Primary National Ambient Air
Quality Standard: First Draft, which
was released for public review and
comment in July 2008 and was the
subject of a CASAC review on July 30–
31, 2008. Comments received from that
review were considered in developing a
second draft document, Risk and
Exposure Assessment to Support the
Review of the SO2 Primary National
Ambient Air Quality Standard: Second
Draft, which was released for public
review and comment in March 2009 and
was the subject of a CASAC review on
April 16–17, 2009. In preparing the final
risk and exposure assessment report,
EPA considered comments received
from CASAC and the public at and
subsequent to that meeting.
The Risk and Exposure Assessment to
Support the Review of the SO2 Primary
National Ambient Air Quality Standard:
Final Report being released at this time
conveys the approaches taken to assess
exposures to ambient SO2 and to
characterize associated health risks, and
presents the results of those
assessments. This document also
contains a staff policy assessment that
considers the health evidence presented
in an EPA document, Integrated Science
Assessment for Oxides of Sulfur
(available at: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/
naaqs/standards/so2/s_so2_cr_
isa.html), and the exposure and risk
characterization results, as they relate to
the adequacy of the current SO2 NAAQS
and consideration of potential
alternative primary SO2 standards. The
Risk and Exposure Assessment to
Support the Review of the SO2 Primary
National Ambient Air Quality Standard:

in order to obtain the full three year
clearance from them. The Commission
is requesting approval of a revision of
this information collection. The
Commission is reporting an increase of
45 respondents/responses and therefore,
the total annual burden has increased by
225 total annual hours. In a Report and
Order, FCC 09–40, IP–Enabled Services
(‘‘VoIP Discontinuance Order’’),
released on May 13, 2009, the
Commission modified Part 63 to extend
to providers of interconnected Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service the
discontinuance obligations that apply to
domestic non-dominant
telecommunications carriers under
Section 214 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the
Commission found that before an
interconnected VoIP provider may
discontinue, reduce, or impair service, it
must comply with the streamlined
discontinuance requirements for nondominant providers under Part 63 of the
Commission’s rules, including the
requirements to provide written notice
to all affected customers, notify relevant
state authorities, and file an application
with the Commission for authorization
of the planned action. In general,
providers of facilities-based
interconnected VoIP services and ‘‘overthe-top’’ interconnected VoIP services
are subject to the rules in the VoIP
Discontinuance Order. However, the
Commission found that it made more
sense to treat providers of
interconnected VoIP services that are
mobile in the same way as Commercial
Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) providers,
which are not subject to the
Commission’s Section 214
discontinuance obligations.

Order, the Commission adopted changes to the FM translator rules that
would allow AM stations to use authorized FM translator stations to
rebroadcast the AM signal locally, retransmitting their AM programming
as a ``fill-in'' service. The adopted cross-service translating rules
limit FM translators to providing ``fill-in'' service only,

In addition, the Commission limited the cross-service rule changes to
``currently authorized FM translators,'' that is, those translators
with licenses or permit in effect as of May 1, 2009.
Consistent with actions taken by the Commission in the Report and
Order, the following changes are made to Form 345: Section III of Form
345 includes a new certification concerning compliance with the AM
station ``fill-in'' service requirements. Specifically, in the AM
service, applicants certify that the coverage contour of the FM
translator station is contained within the lesser of: (a) The 2 mV/m
daytime contour of the AM primary station being rebroadcast, or (b) a

Needs and Uses: On June 29, 2009, the Commission adopted a Report
and Order, Amendment of Service and Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast
Translator Stations, MB Docket No. 07-172, FCC 09-59. In the Report and
Order, the Commission adopted changes to the FM translator rules that
would allow AM stations to use authorized FM translator stations to
rebroadcast the AM signal locally, retransmitting their AM programming
as a ``fill-in'' service. The adopted cross-service translating rules
limit FM translators to providing ``fill-in'' service only,
specifically within the AM primary station's authorized service area.
In addition, the Commission limited the cross-service rule changes to
``currently authorized FM translators,'' that is, those translators
with licenses or permit in effect as of May 1, 2009.
Consistent with actions taken by the Commission in the Report and
Order, the following changes are made to Form 303-S: Section V of Form
303-S, to be completed by FM and TV Translator and Low Power TV
licensees only, includes a new certification concerning compliance with
the AM station ``fill-in'' service requirements. Specifically, in the
AM service, applicants certify that the coverage contour of the FM
translator station is contained within the lesser of: (a) The 2 mV/m
daytime contour of the AM primary station being rebroadcast, or (b) a
25-mile radius centered at the AM station's transmitter site. The
instructions for Section V have been revised to assist applicants with
completing the new question.
FCC Form 303-S is used in applying for renewal of license for a
commercial or noncommercial AM, FM or TV broadcast station and FM
translator, TV translator or Low Power TV, and Low Power FM broadcast
stations. It can also be used in seeking the joint renewal of licenses
for an FM or TV translator station and its co-owned primary FM, AM, TV,
or LPTV station.

Needs and Uses: On June 29, 2009, the Commission adopted a Report
and Order, Amendment of Service and Eligibility Rules for FM Broadcast
Translator Stations, MB Docket No. 07-172, FCC 09-59. In the Report and
Order, the Commission adopted several rule changes that would allow AM
stations to use FM translator stations to rebroadcast the AM signal.
Therefore, 47 CFR 74.1284 is one of the rules that was changed as a
result of the Commission adopting FCC 09-59. 47 CFR 74.1284 requires
that the licensee of an FM translator station obtain prior consent to
rebroadcast programs of any broadcast station or other FM translator.
The licensee of the FM translator station must notify the Commission of
the call letters of each station rebroadcast and must certify that
written consent has been received from the licensee of that station.
