PART 300—[AMENDED]
1. The authority citation for part 300
continues to read as follows:
■
Determination That the Site Meets the
Criteria for Deletion in the NCP
EPA has determined that this Site
poses no significant threat to public
health or the environment because the
landfill has been capped, removing
direct contact exposure (i.e., ingestion
or dermal contact of soil) to the public.
In addition, the Municipality of
Barceloneta put in place deed
restrictions for future land use and
groundwater extraction. The potential
impacts to the groundwater have been
addressed and groundwater monitoring
indicates MCLs are being met at the
landfill unit boundary. Groundwater
monitoring will continue to ensure
groundwater protection continues to be
achieved.
V. Deletion Action
The EPA, with concurrence of the
Puerto Rico Environmental Quality
Board, has determined that all
appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation,
maintenance, monitoring and five-year
reviews have been completed.
Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from
the NPL.
Because EPA considers this action to
be noncontroversial and routine, EPA is
taking it without prior publication. This
action will be effective October 3, 2011
unless EPA receives adverse comments
by September 19, 2011. If adverse
comments are received within the 30day public comment period, EPA will
publish a timely withdrawal of this
direct final notice of deletion before the
effective date of the deletion, and it will
not take effect. EPA will prepare a
response to comments and continue
with the deletion process on the basis of
the notice of intent to delete and the
comments already received. There will
be no additional opportunity to
comment.

Implementing a Nationwide,
Broadband, Interoperable Public
Safety Network in the 700 MHz Band
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In this document, the
Commission adopts an initial set of
rules necessary to ensure the
development of a nationwide
interoperable public safety broadband
network. The establishment of a
common air interface for 700 MHz
public safety broadband networks will
create a foundation for interoperability
and provide a clear path for the
deployment and evolution of the
nationwide network.
DATES: Effective: August 18, 2011,
except § 90.1407(f) which contains
information collections requirements
that have not been approved by OMB.
The Federal Communications
Commission will publish a document in
the Federal Register announcing the
effective date. The incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed
in the rules is approved by the Director
of the Federal Register as of August 18,
2011.

of a nationwide interoperable public
safety broadband network. The
Commission designated Long Term
Evolution (LTE), in particular at least
3GPP Standard, Evolved Universal
Terrestrial Radio Access (E–UTRA)
Release 8 (LTE) and associated Evolved
Packet Core (EPC), as the common
technology platform for the nationwide
network. The Commission also required
that public safety broadband network
operators submit to the Public Safety
and Homeland Security Bureau a
certification that their networks support
required LTE interfaces. The
Commission also stayed certain Part 90
rules that were designed to implement
a mandatory public-private partnership
that has not materialized. These rules
include 47 CFR 90.1403(b)(1), (2), (3),
(5), (8); 90.1405 through 90.1430; and
90.1435. The Third Report and Order is
available at https://www.fcc.gov/
Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2011/
db0204/FCC–11–6A1.pdf.
As required by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, the Commission certifies
that the requirements of the Third
Report and Order will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The Third Report and Order contains
new or modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public
Law 104–13. It will be submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review under Section 3507(d)
of the PRA. OMB, the general public,
and other Federal agencies are invited to
comment on the new or modified
information collection requirements
contained in this proceeding. The
Commission shall send a copy of the
Third Report and Order in a report to be
sent to Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).
