Specifically, EPA approved Louisiana’s listing of 410 waterbody pollutant combinations, and associated priority rankings. EPA proposed to disapprove Louisiana’s decisions not to list three waterbodies. These three waterbodies were added by EPA because the applicable numeric water quality standards marine criterion for dissolved oxygen was not attained in these segments. Based on the Responsiveness Summary, EPA finds no new information or persuasive arguments as to why the three waters should not be added to the 2010 Louisiana Section SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 303(d) List as proposed.

EPA’s Water Quality Planning and Management regulations include requirements related to the implementation of Section 303(d) of the CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations require states to identify water quality limited waters still requiring TMDLs every two years. The list of waters still needing TMDLs must also include priority rankings and must identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7).

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid OMB control number. SUMMARY: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be submitted on or before June 4, 2012.

Estimated Time per Response: 2–50 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion and semi-annual reporting requirements. Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this information collection is in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 152, 154, 161, 201–205, 208, 251, 260 and 271–276. Total Annual Burden: 162 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking OMB approval for an extension of this expiring information collection in order to obtain the full three year approval from them. There are no changes in the reporting requirements. The Commission has adjusted the total burden hours from 216 to 162 hours because there are only three Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) instead of four—which was reported in 2009. Bell Operating Companies (BOCs) are required to post their Comparably Efficient Interconnection (CEI) plans and amendments on their publicly accessible Internet sites. The requirement extends to all CEO plans for intraLATA information services, telemessaging, or alarm monitoring services, and for new or amended ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20021 payphone services. If the BOC receives a good faith request for a plan from someone who does not have Internet access, the BOC must notify that person where a paper copy of the plan is available for public inspection. The CEI plans will be used to ensure that BOCs comply with Commission policies and regulations safeguarding against potential anticompetitive behavior by the BOCs in the provision of information services.
