• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);

regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898

In addition, this proposed rule does not
have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.

Synopsis
On February 7, 2013, the Commission
released a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) seeking comment
on steps the Commission should take to
help address problems in the
completion of long-distance telephone
calls to rural customers.
The Commission set the comment and
reply comment deadlines for the NPRM
as 30 and 45 days, respectively, after
publication of the summary of the
NPRM in the Federal Register. On April
12, 2013, a summary of the NPRM
appeared in the Federal Register.
Accordingly, interested parties may file
comments on or before May 13, 2013,
and reply comments on or before May
28, 2013. All pleadings are to reference
WC Docket No. 13–39.
In the NPRM, the Commission
proposed rules that would require that
originating long-distance providers
submit in electronic form the monthly
call answer rate for rural operating
carrier numbers (OCNs) with 100
attempts or more and the nonrural
monthly overall average to the
Commission once per calendar quarter.
The Commission would specify an
electronic template for this reporting
requirement with a list of rural OCNs.
The National Exchange Carrier
Association, Inc. (NECA) provides a list
of rural OCNs on its Web site, at the
following link: https://www.neca.org/
WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id
&ItemID=8874&libID=8894. The Bureau
invites comment on the completeness of
NECA’s list, and whether it would be
suitable for the Commission to use this
list upon the adoption of the rules
proposed in the NPRM.
Pursuant to §§ 1.415 and 1.419 of the
Commission’s rules, interested parties
