Abstract: The USEPA Office of
Research and Development is
investigating public values for options
of salmon recovery in the Willamette
Watershed in western Oregon. These
values will be estimated via a
willingness to pay mail survey
instrument. Two anadromous fish
species in the Willamette watershed are
federally listed as threatened species;
Spring Chinook, and Winter steelhead.
The survey focuses on two attributes of
recovery for these fish: The recovery
status; and the time to recovery. A
choice experiment framework is used
with statistically designed tradeoff
questions, where recovery options are
posed as increases in a yearly household
tax. The choice experiment is designed
to allow independent isolation of the
value of recovery and of time to
recovery. A few additional questions to
further understand the motivations for
respondent choices, their river-related
recreation behavior, and their attitudes
towards wild origin versus hatchery
origin fish are also included. Limited
sociodemographic questions are
included to gauge how well the sample
respondents represent the target
population. The survey will be fielded
to Oregon residents.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Individuals.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
1,000 (total).
Frequency of response: Once.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Total estimated burden: 500 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $8,620 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: This is a
new collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On June 13, 2014, the Indiana
Department of Environmental
Management (IDEM) submitted an
application titled ‘‘Indiana Electronic
Sample Entry Verify (eSE) System’’ for
revision of its EPA-authorized Part 142
program under title 40 CFR. EPA
reviewed IDEM’s request to revise its
EPA-authorized program and, based on
this review, EPA determined that the
application met the standards for
approval of authorized program revision
set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this
notice of EPA’s decision to approve
Indiana’s request to revise its Part 142—
National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations Implementation program to
allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR
part 141 is being published in the
Federal Register. IDEM was notified of
EPA’s determination to approve its
application with respect to the
authorized program listed above.

Synopsis
1. In document DA 14–1487, the
Commission’s Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB or
Bureau) announces electronic filing
procedures for petitions for exemption
from the Commission’s closed
captioning requirements for video
programming delivered using Internet
protocol (IP). On January 12, 2012, the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Oct 29, 2014
Jkt 235001
Commission released the IP Closed
Captioning Order adopting rules that
require, among other things, that all
individual closed captioning exemption
petitions for IP-delivered video
programming, all comments and
oppositions responsive to such
petitions, and all replies to comments or
oppositions to such petitions be filed
electronically. Closed Captioning of
Internet Protocol-Delivered Video
Programming: Implementation of the
Twenty-First Century Communications
and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, MB
Docket No. 11–154, Report and Order
(IP Closed Captioning Order); published
at 77 FR 19479, March 30, 2012.
2. Exemption Petitions. In order to file
a petition for exemption from the IP
closed captioning rules electronically,
the petitioner must send the petition,
together with documentation supporting
such a petition, via email to
captioningexemption@fcc.gov. Petitions
must be filed electronically by email
and may not be filed via the
Commission’s Electronic Comment
Filing System (ECFS). At this time, the
Commission’s email system does not
accept attachments in the form of .ZIP
files or file sizes larger than 13.3
megabytes. If a petitioner has concerns
that its file size will exceed this
limitation, it may contact Commission
staff. Upon receipt of a petition, the
Commission will send an
acknowledgement to the petitioner by
email. The Commission will also assign
a case identifier number (for example,
‘‘CGB–CC–2345’’) to the petition. This
case identifier number and the reference
to ‘‘CG Docket No. 13–318’’ must be
included on all correspondence with the
Commission regarding the petition,
including any supplemental information
to support the petition and subsequent
pleadings in response to comments on
or oppositions to the petition.
3. Once the petitioner provides the
required information and
documentation to the Commission, the
petition will be placed on public notice,
pursuant to the Commission’s rules, to
permit interested parties to file
comments on or oppositions to the
petition. The Commission will make the
petition, as well as any supporting
information and documentation
provided, available for public
inspection in the Commission’s
Reference Information Center and
through ECFS at https://apps.fcc.gov/
ecfs/. Because petitions and any
supporting information and
documentation provided by email to
captioningexemption@fcc.gov will be
uploaded to ECFS by the Commission,
petitioners must follow the ECFS
document format guidelines available at
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
64593
https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/userManual/
upload/documents.jsp when submitting
petitions and any supporting
information and documentation via
email. Petitioners are encouraged not to
include personally sensitive information
in their petitions, such as social security
numbers, bank account and routing
numbers, and other similarly sensitive
information. If a petitioner nevertheless
includes such sensitive information in
its filing, it must redact (remove or
conceal with black ink) such
information from its submission. Unless
otherwise directed by the petitioner,
anything in the body of the petitioner’s
email will not be considered as part of
the petition; rather only the attachments
will be considered as part of the petition
and posted on ECFS. If the petitioner
wishes to also include content
contained in the body of the email as
part of the petition, which will be
posted on ECFS, it should state so in the
email.
4. Confidential Treatment. A
petitioner may request confidential
treatment of any information contained
in or submitted in support of its
petition. A petitioner seeking such
treatment for any such information must
submit, via email to
captioningexemption@fcc.gov, a written
request for confidential treatment and
two versions of the petition: (1) A
confidential version that contains the
complete, unredacted submission; and
(2) a public version that redacts any
claimed confidential information. A
request for confidential treatment may
not be filed via ECFS. The request must
comply with the requirements of 47 CFR
0.459, including: (a) Identification of the
specific information submitted for
which confidential treatment is sought;
(b) a statement of the reasons for
withholding those materials from public
inspection; and (c) an explanation of
how public disclosure of the
information could result in substantial
competitive harm. The request must
show by a preponderance of the
evidence that nondisclosure is
consistent with the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act. Mere
conclusory or generalized allegations
cannot support a request for
nondisclosure. In light of the
Commission’s desire for openness in its
exemption petition review processes, if
the Bureau determines that members of
the public should have access to
portions of a filing that the petitioner
asserts are confidential, it may allow
such access pursuant to a protective
order. To help achieve such openness
where a petitioner has sought
confidentiality of certain information
E:\FR\FM\30OCN1.SGM
30OCN1
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
64594
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 210 / Thursday, October 30, 2014 / Notices
submitted in support of its petition, the
petitioner should, to the extent possible,
include in its petition the non-sensitive
supporting information contained in the
confidential materials so that members
of the public may review, consider, and
comment on the petition.
5. Comments and Oppositions.
Comments on or oppositions to a
petition must be filed electronically via
ECFS at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/
upload/begin?filedFrom=E. The ‘‘ECFS
Express’’ form cannot be used for the
filing of comments or oppositions. If the
submission is sent to the Commission
only by email, the Commission will
upload the submission to ECFS.
Comments or oppositions filed via ECFS
must include ‘‘13–318’’ as the
‘‘Proceeding Number’’ on the ECFS
form. In addition, filers must enter the
four-digit case identifier number (e.g.,
‘‘CC–2345’’) as the ‘‘File Number’’ on
the ECFS form. If a filer wishes to file
an identical set of comments or
oppositions via ECFS on multiple
petitions that have been assigned more
than one case identifier number, the
comments or oppositions must be filed
separately for each petition/case
identifier number. In such a case, a
different case identifier number will
have to be entered as the ‘‘File Number’’
for each separate filing (e.g., ‘‘CC–2345’’
entered as the File Number for the first
filing and ‘‘CC–2346’’ entered as the File
Number for the second filing and so on,
even if the comments or oppositions
being filed are identical to the first
filing). Multiple case identifier numbers
may not be entered as one ‘‘File
Number.’’
6. Replies. Replies to comments on or
oppositions to a petition must be filed
electronically via ECFS at https://
apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/
begin?filedFrom=E. The ‘‘ECFS
Express’’ form cannot be used for this
purpose. If the submission is sent to the
Commission only by email, the
Commission will upload the submission
to ECFS. Replies must include ‘‘13–318’’
as the ‘‘Proceeding Number’’ and the
four-digit case identifier number (e.g.,
‘‘CC–2345’’) as the ‘‘File Number’’ in
this proceeding. If a filer wishes to file
an identical set of replies via ECFS on
multiple petitions that have been
assigned more than one case identifier
number, the replies must be filed
separately for each petition/case
identifier number. In this case, a
different case identifier number will
have to be entered as the ‘‘File Number’’
for each separate filing (e.g., ‘‘CC–2345’’
entered as the File Number for the first
filing and ‘‘CC–2346’’ entered as the File
Number for the second filing and so on,
even if the replies being filed are

identical to the first filing). Multiple
case identifier numbers may not be

nondisclosure. In light of the Commission's desire for openness in its
exemption petition review processes, if the Bureau determines that
members of the public should have access to portions of a filing that
the petitioner asserts are confidential, it may allow such access
pursuant to a protective order. To help achieve such openness where a
petitioner has sought confidentiality of certain information
[[Page 64594]]
submitted in support of its petition, the petitioner should, to the
extent possible, include in its petition the non-sensitive supporting
information contained in the confidential materials so that members of
the public may review, consider, and comment on the petition.
5. Comments and Oppositions. Comments on or oppositions to a
petition must be filed electronically via ECFS at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/begin?filedFrom=E. The ``ECFS Express'' form cannot be used
for the filing of comments or oppositions. If the submission is sent to
the Commission only by email, the Commission will upload the submission
to ECFS. Comments or oppositions filed via ECFS must include ``13-318''
as the ``Proceeding Number'' on the ECFS form. In addition, filers must
enter the four-digit case identifier number (e.g., ``CC-2345'') as the
``File Number'' on the ECFS form. If a filer wishes to file an
identical set of comments or oppositions via ECFS on multiple petitions
that have been assigned more than one case identifier number, the
comments or oppositions must be filed separately for each petition/case
identifier number. In such a case, a different case identifier number
will have to be entered as the ``File Number'' for each separate filing
(e.g., ``CC-2345'' entered as the File Number for the first filing and
``CC-2346'' entered as the File Number for the second filing and so on,
even if the comments or oppositions being filed are identical to the
first filing). Multiple case identifier numbers may not be entered as
one ``File Number.''
6. Replies. Replies to comments on or oppositions to a petition
must be filed electronically via ECFS at https://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/begin?filedFrom=E. The ``ECFS Express'' form cannot be used for
this purpose. If the submission is sent to the Commission only by
email, the Commission will upload the submission to ECFS. Replies must
include ``13-318'' as the ``Proceeding Number'' and the four-digit case
identifier number (e.g., ``CC-2345'') as the ``File Number'' in this
proceeding. If a filer wishes to file an identical set of replies via
ECFS on multiple petitions that have been assigned more than one case
identifier number, the replies must be filed separately for each
petition/case identifier number. In this case, a different case
identifier number will have to be entered as the ``File Number'' for
each separate filing (e.g., ``CC-2345'' entered as the File Number for
the first filing and ``CC-2346'' entered as the File Number for the
second filing and so on, even if the replies being filed are identical
to the first filing). Multiple case identifier numbers may not be
entered as one ``File Number.''
