This document invites comment the submission of additional information concerning the methodological changes for the digital ILLR model with respect to the calculation of diffraction loss close to an obstacle or leading up to and following a pair of obstacles; and a factual or scientific basis for explaining the additional losses in the line of sight range above and beyond the free space loss and two-ray- loss. The Commission is particularly interested in information on any other techniques for improving the degree to which the model accurately represents the propagation of a digital television signal from a transmitter to a specific receive site and any new data that may be available for improving the model's predictions.

In this document the Commission, adopts a point-to-point predictive model for determining the ability of individual locations to receive an over-the-air digital television broadcast signal at the intensity level needed for service through the use of an antenna as required by the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA). The STELA reauthorizes the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (SHVERA) by extending the statutory copyright license for satellite carriage of distant broadcast signals, as well as provisions in the Communications Act, and by amending certain provisions in the Communications Act and the Copyright Act.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a request by New Jersey to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone involving the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The SIP revision consists of two new rules, Subchapter 26, ``Prevention of Air Pollution From Adhesives, Sealants, Adhesive Primers and Sealant Primers,'' and Subchapter 34, ``TBAC Emissions Reporting,'' (TBAC means tertiary butyl acetate or t-butyl acetate) and revisions to Subchapter 23, ``Prevention of Air Pollution From Architectural Coatings,'' Subchapter 24, ``Prevention of Air Pollution From Consumer Products,'' and Subchapter 25, ``Control and Prohibition of Air Pollution by Vehicular Fuels,'' of the New Jersey Administrative Code. The intended effect of this action is to approve control strategies that will result in VOC emission reductions that will help achieve attainment of the national ambient air quality standard for ozone.
