C. Docket Copying Costs
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
You may be charged a reasonable fee
for photocopying docket materials, as
provided in 40 CFR part 2.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant
regulatory action and was therefore not
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose an
information collection burden under the
PRA. The changes made to the
regulations as a result of this action
impose no new or different reporting
requirements on regulated parties.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that this action will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the RFA. In making this
determination, the impact of concern is
any significant adverse economic
impact on small entities. An agency may
certify that a rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities if
the rule relieves regulatory burden, has
no net burden or otherwise has a
positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This action
clarifies the data sources and
methodology used by EPA to establish
the CWC price, establishes these prices
for 2014 and 2015, and reinserts
inadvertently overwritten regulatory
language. The impacts of the RFS2
program on small entities were already
addressed in the RFS2 final rule
promulgated on March 26, 2010 (75 FR
14670), and this rule will not impose
any additional requirements on small
entities beyond those already analyzed.
We have therefore concluded that this
action will have no net regulatory
burden for all directly regulated small
entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This action does not contain any
unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does
not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. This action implements
mandate(s) specifically and explicitly
set forth in Clean Air Act section 211(o)

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This action does not have tribal
implications, as specified in Executive
Order 13175. This rule will be
implemented at the Federal level and
potentially impacts gasoline, diesel, and
renewable fuel producers, importers,
distributors, and marketers. Tribal
governments would be affected only to
the extent they purchase and use
regulated fuels. Thus, Executive Order
13175 does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets EO 13045 as
applying only to those regulatory
actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that the EPA has
reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory
action’’ in section 2–202 of the
Executive Order. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not establish an
environmental standard intended to
mitigate health or safety risks and
because it implements specific
standards established by Congress in
statutes (section 211(o) of the Clean Air
Act).
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 because it is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
This rulemaking does not involve
technical standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
This proposed rule is a technical
correction and does not concern an

environmental health or safety risk.
Therefore, Executive Order 12898 does
not apply.
VII. Statutory Authority
Statutory authority for this proposed
action comes from section 211 of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7545.

proposed except that EPA deferred
reclassification of Indian country
pertaining to the Morongo Band of

˜
and the Pechanga Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians (Pechanga Reservation)
in keeping with the state’s request for
the South Coast Air Basin. On January
6, 2015 (80 FR 436), the EPA proposed
to revise the boundaries of South Coast
and San Diego ozone planning areas to
designate the Pechanga Reservation as a
separate air quality planning area for the
1997 8-hour ozone standard. In the
January 6, 2015 proposed rule, the EPA
indicated that, if the Agency finalizes
the January 6, 2015 proposed rule, as
proposed, the EPA would withdraw the
August 27, 2009 proposed rule to the
extent that the 2009 proposed rule
relates to the Pechanga Reservation. See
80 FR 436, at 438 (January 6, 2015). In
the Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register, the EPA is finalizing
its January 6, 2015 proposed rule, as
proposed. In light of final Agency action
on the January 6, 2015 proposal, the
EPA is withdrawing the August 27, 2009
proposed reclassification of the
Pechanga Reservation for the 1997 8hour ozone standard.

I. Summary
1. In the Incentive Auction Report and
Order, the Commission adopted rules to
implement the incentive auction
through which certain broadcast
television spectrum will be repurposed
for wireless flexible use to create the
600 MHz Band (See Expanding the
Economic and Innovation Opportunities
of Spectrum Through Incentive
Auctions, GN Docket No. 12–268,
Report and Order, published at 79 FR
48442 (2014) (Incentive Auction Report
and Order)). These rules include
procedures governing the transition of
broadcast television services and other
operations out of the 600 MHz Band. As
described below, the procedures the
Commission adopted permit certain
operations to continue in the 600 MHz
spectrum until a 600 MHz Band
wireless licensee ‘‘commences
operations’’ in its licensed spectrum.
The Commission did not define the term
‘‘commence operations,’’ but indicated
that it would do so in the pre-auction
process. By this document, the
