Underlying documents from the administrative record for these decisions are available for public inspection at the above address. Please contact Ms. Smith to schedule an inspection. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diane Smith at (214) 665–2145. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that each state identify those waters for which existing technologybased pollution controls are not stringent enough to attain or maintain state water quality standards. For those waters, states are required to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (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 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). Consistent with EPA’s regulations, Louisiana submitted to EPA its 2012 listing decisions under Section 303(d) on February 14, 2013. On May 1, 2013, EPA approved Louisiana’s 2012 listing of 323 water body-pollutant combinations and associated priority rankings, and proposed to disapprove Louisiana’s decisions not to list three waterbodies. On July 18, 2013, EPA finalized the action to disapprove Louisiana’s 2012 listing decisions not to list three water quality limited segments. EPA identified these additional waters and pollutants along with priority rankings for inclusion on the 2012 Section 303(d) List. Dated: July 18, 2013. David F.

Description of Measurement Facilities

    The Commission established uniform technical standards for various 
non-licensed equipment operating under the guidelines established in 47 
CFR parts 2, 15 and 18 of the FCC rules, which include personal 
computers, garage door openers, baby monitors, etc. In order to ensure 
that technical standards are applied uniformly to non-licensed 
equipment, the Commission requires manufacturers to follow the 
standardized measurement procedures and practices:
    (a) 47 CFR part 2 of the Commission's rules requires each Electro-
Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing facility that performs equipment 
testing in support of any request for equipment authorization to file a 
test site description with the Commission. The Commission also permits 
a testing facility to be accredited by Commission-approved accrediting 
bodies. A testing laboratory that is accredited by a Commission-
approved accrediting body is not required to file a test site 
description with the Commission since the accreditation body will 
review this information as part of the accreditation assessment.
    (b) The test site description and the supporting information 
documents that the EMC testing facility complies with the testing 
standards used to make the measurements that support any request for 
equipment authorization.
    The Commission or a Telecommunications certification body uses the 
information from these test sites and the supporting documentation, 
which accompany all requests for equipment authorization:
    (a) To ensure that the data are valid and that proper testing 
procedures are used;
    (b) To ensure that potential interference to radio communications 
is controlled; and
    (c) To investigate complaints of harmful interference or to verify 
the manufacturer's compliance with Section 47 CFR 2.948 of the 
Commission's rules.

Accreditation Bodies

    On September 14, 2009, the Office of Engineering and Technology 
(OET) identified and requested comment on certain types of information 
that an applicant should provide to be considered as an accreditation 
body of test laboratories under the Commission's rules, see DA 09-2049. 
47 CFR 2.948(d) of the Commission's rules sets forth the requirements 
for accreditation bodies seeking recognition from the FCC as a 
laboratory accreditation body. Accreditation bodies seeking such 
recognition from the Commission must file a report of their 
qualifications with the Office of Engineering and Technology (OET). 
They are only required to file this information once. The Commission 
currently has three recognized accreditations bodies.

Other Information

    In addition, the referenced 47 CFR part 15 rules (47 CFR 
15.117(g)(2)) require that certain equipment manufacturers file 
information concerning the testing of TV receivers, which tune to UHF 
channels, to show that the UHF channels provide approximately the same
