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 lists of waters still
needing TMDLs must also include
priority rankings, identify the pollutants
causing the impairment, and identify
the waters targeted for TMDL
development during the next two years
(40 CFR 130.7).
Consistent with EPA’s regulations,
New York submitted its listing decisions
under Section 303(d)(2) to EPA in
correspondence dated March 30, 2012

EPA partially approved New York’s
submittal of the 303(d) list, and
disapproved New York’s decision to
exclude Lower Esopus Creek from the
2012 list. EPA is soliciting public
comment on the addition of this water
to the State’s list, as required by 40 CFR
130.7(d)(2).

In this document, the Media
Bureau seeks comment on a petition for
waiver and clarification of the
Commission’s rules filed by TiVo Inc.
These comments are necessary to help
the Media Bureau decide whether to
grant TiVo’s request. The intended
effect of this action is to release an order
that either grants or denies TiVo’s
request.
SUMMARY:
Submit comments on or before
September 21, 2012. Submit reply
comments on or before October 1, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information on this
proceeding, contact Brendan Murray,
Brendan.Murray@fcc.gov, of the Media
Bureau, Policy Division, (202) 418–
2120.
DATES:
TiVo Inc.
(‘‘TiVo’’) has filed a request pursuant to
Sections 1.3, 76.7, and 76.1207 of the
Commission’s rules for waiver of part of
Section 76.640(b)(4)(iii) of the
Commission’s rules. Section
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
76.640(b)(4)(iii) requires cable operators
to ‘‘ensure that the cable-operatorprovided high definition set-top boxes,
except unidirectional set-top boxes
without recording functionality, shall
comply with an open industry standard
that provides for audiovisual
communications including service
discovery, video transport, and remote
control command pass-through
standards for home networking’’ by
December 1, 2012. This rule is designed
to ensure that consumers will be able to
connect consumer electronics devices
that they own to set-top boxes that they
lease from their cable operators for
whole-home viewing and recording.
TiVo also asks the Commission to
clarify the meaning of the phrase ‘‘open
industry standard’’ in the rule. TiVo
seeks a waiver of 76.640(b)(4)(iii) for
TiVo boxes that cable operators lease to
subscribers. TiVo requests that this
waiver last until 12 months after cable
operators have deployed at least 100,000
Cisco set-top boxes and 100,000
Motorola set-top boxes that include an
output that complies with Section
76.640(b)(4)(iii). TiVo maintains that
waiver of ‘‘an open standard’’
implementation for cable operators with
respect to TiVo boxes that cable
operators lease to subscribers would
cause no harm to interested parties and
will benefit consumers. We seek
comment on TiVo’s request. Authority
for this action is contained in 47 U.S.C.
154(i), 549, and 47 CFR 0.283, 1.3, and
76.7(b)(1).
This proceeding will be treated as
‘‘permit but disclose’’ for purposes of
the Commission’s ex parte rules. As a
result of the permit-but-disclose status
of this proceeding, ex parte
presentations will be governed by the
procedures set forth in Section 1.1206 of
the Commission’s rules applicable to
non-restricted proceedings.
Comments and oppositions are due
September 21, 2012. Petitioner’s reply is
due October 1, 2012. All filings must be
submitted in MB Docket No. 12–230.
Pleadings sent via email to the
Commission will be considered
informal and will not be part of the
official record. Interested parties will
have access to comments online through

76.7(b)(1) and 76.7(c)(1) that comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TiVo Inc. (``TiVo'') has filed a request
pursuant to Sections 1.3, 76.7, and 76.1207 of the Commission's rules
