EPA is providing the public the
opportunity to review its decision to
add these water quality limited
segments to West Virginia’s 2012
Section 303(d) list. EPA will consider
public comments before transmitting its
final listing decision to the State.
DATES: Comments must be submitted in
writing to EPA on or before May 8,
2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed
decision should be sent to Bill
Richardson, Water Protection Division
(3WP30), U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency Region 3, 1650 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, PA 19103–2029 telephone

Oral comments will not be considered.
Copies of EPA’s letter concerning West
Virginia’s list that explains the rationale
for EPA’s decision can be obtained at
EPA Region 3’s Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/reg3wapd/tmdl/
303list.html or by writing Mr.
Richardson at the above address.
Underlying documents from the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information, contact Bill
Richardson at (215) 814–5675.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires
that each State identify those waters
(called ‘‘water quality limited
segments’’) for which existing
technology-based pollution controls are
not stringent enough to attain or
maintain State water quality standards.
For those waters, States are required to
establish TMDLs according to a priority
ranking.
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 assemble and evaluate
existing and readily available water
quality data and to identify water
quality limited waters still requiring
TMDLs every two years. The lists 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).
Consistent with EPA’s regulations,
EPA received West Virginia’s submittal
of its listing decisions under Section
303(d)(2) on December 21, 2012. On
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:02 Apr 05, 2013
Jkt 229001
March 25, 2013, EPA partially approved
West Virginia’s 2012 listings of waters
and associated priority rankings and
partially disapproved West Virginia’s
submission to the extent that West
Virginia did not list 255 water quality
limited segments. EPA solicits public
comment on the addition of these
waters to the State’s list, as required by
40 CFR 130.7(d)(2).

will submit this collection to the OMB
for approval of an extension in order to
obtain the three year clearance from
them. There is no change in the
recordkeeping requirement. There is no
change in the Commission’s previous
burden estimates. The Commission
imposed recordkeeping requirements on
independent local exchange carriers
(LECs). Independent incumbent LECs
wishing to offer international,
interexchange services must comply
with the requirements of the
Competitive Carrier Fifth Report and
Order, CC Docket Nos. 96–149 and 96–
61. One of the requirements is that the
independent incumbent LEC’s
international, interexchange affiliate (for
facilities-based providers of
international, interexchange services)
must maintain books of account
separate from such LEC’s local exchange
and other activities. See 47 CFR 64.1903
for the specific recordkeeping
requirements.
This recordkeeping requirement is
used by the Commission to ensure that
independent incumbent LECs that
provide international, interexchange
services do so in compliance with the
Communications Act, as amended, and
with Commission policies and
regulations.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit or disclose
confidential information. However, in
certain circumstances, respondents may
voluntarily choose to submit
confidential information pursuant to
applicable confidentiality rules.
Needs and Uses: In the Order on
Remand, the Commission imposes
unbundling obligations in a more
targeted manner where requesting
carriers have undertaken their own
facilities-based investments and will be
using UNEs (unbundled network
elements) in conjunction with selfprovisioned facilities. The Commission
also eliminated the subdelegated of
authority to state commissions adopted
in the previous order.
Prior to the issuance of the Order, the
Commission sought comment on issues
relating to combinations of UNEs, called
‘‘enhanced extended links’’ (EELs), in
order to effectively tailor access to EELs
to those carriers seeking to provide
significant local usage to end users. In
the Order, the Commission adopted
three specific service eligibility criteria
for access to EELs, which are important
to assure that requesting carriers may
not obtain EELs if they do not provide
services to UNEs under the
Commission’s rules.

send reports to their transport providers.
Additionally, the quarterly certifications
sent to the Commission will be made
public through the Commission’s
Electronic Comment Filing System
(ECFS) process. These certifications will
be filed in the Commission’s docket
associated with this proceeding. If the
respondents submit information they
believe to be confidential, they may
request confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection during this comment period
to obtain the three year clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The Commission is requesting
approval for an extension (no change in
the reporting, recordkeeping and/or
third party disclosure requirements. The
Commission is reporting a 3,700 burden
reduction adjustment which is due to
fewer respondents. This is due in part
to consolidation in the
telecommunications market and/or
providers exiting the
telecommunications market.
Prepaid calling card service providers
must report quarterly the percentage of
interstate, intrastate and international
access charges to carriers from which
they purchase transport services.
Prepaid calling card providers must also
file certifications with the Commission
quarterly that include the above
information and a statement that they
are contributing to the federal Universal
Service Fund based on all interstate and
international revenue, except for
revenue from the sale of prepaid calling
cards by, to, or pursuant to contract
with the Department of Defense (DoD)
or a DoD entity.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this expiring information
collection during this comment period
to obtain the full, three year clearance
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). The Commission is
requesting OMB approval for a revision
of this information collection. There are
changes to the Commission’s previous
burden estimates. The total annual
burden has increased (program change
increase) by 14,787 hours from 9 hours.
This is due to revision of the
Commission’s rules in Report and
Order, FCC 13–4 which added rule
sections 13.9, 13.13, 13.17 and 13.211 to
this collection.
On January 8, 2013, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), in
an effort to clarify, streamline or
eliminate its rules in order to reduce
administrative burdens in the
telecommunications industry. The FCC
adopted a Report and Order, FCC 13–4,
amending its rules concerning
Commercial Radio Operator licensees
for maritime and aviation radio stations.
Of those rules adopted, some have
recordkeeping and/or reporting
requirements for holders of commercial
radio licenses, as well as for
Commercial Operator License
Examination Managers (COLEM(s)) that
administer commercial radio operator
license examinations across the United
States. In this proceeding, the
Commission seeks OMB approval for
the burdens contained in the R&O,
which implements a number of actions
the FCC has taken.
Each COLEM recovering fees from
examinees must maintain records of
expenses and revenues, frequency of
examinations administered, and
examination pass rates. Records must
cover from January 1 to December 31 of
the preceding year and must be
submitted as directed by the FCC. Each
COLEM must retain records for one year
and the records must be made available
to the FCC upon request.

The Commission is requesting OMB approval for a revision of this
information collection. There are changes to the Commission's previous
burden estimates. The total annual burden has increased (program change
increase) by 14,787 hours from 9 hours. This is due to revision of the
Commission's rules in Report and Order, FCC 13-4 which added rule
sections 13.9, 13.13, 13.17 and 13.211 to this collection.
On January 8, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in
an effort to clarify, streamline or eliminate its rules in order to
reduce administrative burdens in the telecommunications industry. The
FCC adopted a Report and Order, FCC 13-4, amending its rules concerning
Commercial Radio Operator licensees for maritime and aviation radio
stations. Of those rules adopted, some have recordkeeping and/or
reporting requirements for holders of commercial radio licenses, as
well as for Commercial Operator License Examination Managers (COLEM(s))
that administer commercial radio operator license examinations across
the United States. In this proceeding, the Commission seeks OMB
approval for the burdens contained in the R&O, which implements a
number of actions the FCC has taken.
Each COLEM recovering fees from examinees must maintain records of
expenses and revenues, frequency of examinations administered, and
examination pass rates. Records must cover from January 1 to December
31 of the preceding year and must be submitted as directed by the FCC.
Each COLEM must retain records for one year and the records must be
made available to the FCC upon request.
