Download as PDF 31540 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 101 / Friday, May 24, 2013 / Notices Authorization Request, and the public record for this matter, EPA is granting an authorization to California for its Yard Trucks Regulation. My decision will affect not only persons in California, but also entities outside the State who must comply with California’s requirements. For this reason, I determine and find that this is a final action of national applicability for purposes of section 307(b)(1) of the Act. Pursuant to section 307(b)(1) of the Act, judicial review of this final action may be sought only in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Petitions for review must be filed by July 23, 2013. Judicial review of this final action may not be obtained in subsequent enforcement proceedings, pursuant to section 307(b)(2) of the Act. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews As with past authorization and waiver decisions, this action is not a rule as defined by Executive Order 12866. Therefore, it is exempt from review by the Office of Management and Budget as required for rules and regulations by Executive Order 12866. In addition, this action is not a rule as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601(2). Therefore, EPA has not prepared a supporting regulatory flexibility analysis addressing the impact of this action on small business entities. Further, the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801, et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, does not apply because this action is not a rule for purposes of 5 U.S.C. 804(3).

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality except as follows: some relocators that seek reimbursement through the FCC cost-sharing plan administered by the clearinghouses will be required to retain records for more than three years, as will the clearinghouses themselves. Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this 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 approval for a revision. There is a change to the Commission’s previous burden estimates. The Commission is now reporting a seven hour adjustment in the total annual burden which is due to an increase in the estimated number of AWS licensees based on the grant of additional initial licenses (FCC Auction 78) and partitions and disaggregations of existing licenses to new licensees (765 incumbent FS licensees, 200 AWS licensees, 10 incumbent BRS licensees, 2 AWS–4 operators and 2 clearinghouses) = 979 respondents. The Commission in the revisions proposed in the AWS–4 NPRM, FCC 12– 32, which was submitted for OMB approval, proposed terrestrial service, technical, assignment and licensing rules for the 2000–2020 MHz and 2180– 2200 MHz spectrum bands. These proposed rules were designed to provide for flexible use of this spectrum, to encourage innovation and investment in mobile broadband, and to provide a stable regulatory environment in which broadband deployment could develop. The AWS–4 NPRM proposed terrestrial VerDate Mar<15>2010 21:14 May 23, 2013 Jkt 229001 service rules for these spectrum bands that would generally follow the Commission’s Part 27 rules, which apply to flexible use services (such as AWS–1), modified as necessary to account for issues unique to the 2000– 2020 MHz and 2180–2200 MHz bands. The proposals in the AWS–4 NPRM included band-specific buildout, renewal, and discontinuance of service criteria. Given the proximity of these spectrum bands to spectrum bands previously identified as Advanced Wireless Services (AWS), the AWS–4 NPRM referred to these spectrum bands as ‘‘AWS–4’’ or ‘‘AWS–4 spectrum’’. The AWS–4 NPRM proposed to expand spectrum available for AWS, which the Commission first adopted in the AWS– 1 Report and Order. For this revision, subject to OMB approval, the Commission in the AWS– 4 Report and Order, FCC 12–151, adopts flexible use rules for 40 megahertz of spectrum in the 2 GHz band (2000–2020 MHz and 2180–2200 MHz) that would increase the nation’s supply of spectrum for mobile broadband. We adopt AWS– 4 terrestrial service, technical, and licensing rules that generally follow the Commission’s Part 27 flexible use rules, modified as necessary to account for issues unique to the AWS–4 bands. Recordkeeping, reporting and third party disclosure requirements associated with the items listed in paragraph one of the supporting statement that is submitted to OMB for approval, will be used by incumbent licensees and new entrants to negotiate relocation agreements and to coordinate operations to avoid interference. The information will also be used by the clearinghouses to maintain a national database, determine reimbursement obligations of entrants pursuant to the Commission’s rules, and notify such entrants of their reimbursement obligations.

confidentiality except as follows: some relocators that seek

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this 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 approval for a revision. There is a change to 
the Commission's previous burden estimates. The Commission is now 
reporting a seven hour adjustment in the total annual burden which is 
due to an increase in the estimated number of AWS licensees based on

licensees, 2 AWS-4 operators and 2 clearinghouses) = 979 respondents.
    The Commission in the revisions proposed in the AWS-4 NPRM, FCC 12-
32, which was submitted for OMB approval, proposed terrestrial service, 
technical, assignment and licensing rules for the 2000-2020 MHz and 
2180-2200 MHz spectrum bands. These proposed rules were designed to

flexible use services (such as AWS-1), modified as necessary to account

broadband. We adopt AWS-4 terrestrial service, technical, and licensing 
rules that generally follow the Commission's Part 27 flexible use 
rules, modified as necessary to account for issues unique to the AWS-4 
bands.
    Recordkeeping, reporting and third party disclosure requirements 
associated with the items listed in paragraph one of the supporting 
statement that is submitted to OMB for approval, will be used by 
incumbent licensees and new entrants to negotiate relocation agreements 
and to coordinate operations to avoid interference. The information 
will also be used by the clearinghouses to maintain a national 
database, determine reimbursement obligations of entrants pursuant to 
the Commission's rules, and notify such entrants of their reimbursement 
obligations. Additionally, the information will be used to facilitate 
dispute resolution and for FCC oversight of the clearinghouses and the 
cost-sharing plan.
