Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 30, 2016 / Notices
A1: The rule uses the date that the
engine commenced construction to
determine if the engine is existing or
new. The General Provisions to 40 CFR
part 63 define both ‘‘construction’’ and
‘‘commenced’’ and those definitions are
applied to the subpart.
Q2: Does NESHAP subpart ZZZZ
apply to an engine that has been rebuilt,
specifically where the engine core is
reused, but components such as pistons,
rings and bearings are reconditioned or
replaced?
A2: A rebuilt engine would need to be
evaluated to determine if reconstruction
had occurred. The General Provisions to
part 63 defines ‘‘reconstruction.’’

Abstract for [Z150011]
Q: Are the emergency engines located
at the NASA Langley Research Facility
in Hampton, VA subject to NESHAP
subpart ZZZZ for Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines?
A: No. EPA determines that the
emergency engines are located at a
facility that is an area source and
classified as an ‘‘institutional’’ facility.
Therefore, under 40 CFR 63.6590(b)(3),
emergency engines at the facility are
exempt from requirements under
NESHAP subpart ZZZZ.
Abstract for [1600004]
Q: Does EPA accept the industry
coalition request to rescind a November
21, 2007, letter to the National Grain
and Feed Association in which EPA
stated that temporary storage facilities
meet the definition of ‘‘permanent
storage capacity’’ under 40 CFR part 60,
subpart DD, NSPS for Grain Elevators
(Subpart DD), and required it be
included when determining
applicability of Subpart DD for a
particular facility?
A: Yes. The EPA is proposing
revisions to Subpart DD and has also
decided to re-evaluate the rationale for
the November 21, 2007 letter. While the
definition of ‘‘permanent storage
capacity’’ in Subpart DD is broad, we
are now aware that temporary storage
facilities (TSFs) generally handle the
grain less time throughout the year than
other types of permanent storage
facilities and may require different
treatment. Also, while not dispositive as
to the applicability of the rule to these
units, we note that TSFs did not exist
during the development of Subpart DD,
and their processes and handling
techniques were not specifically
considered during the rulemaking
process. For these reasons, EPA rescinds
the November 21, 2007 letter. As a
result, TSFs do not meet the definition
of ‘‘permanent storage capacity’’ under
Subpart DD and should not be included

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Certain information collected on FCC
Form 177 will be treated as confidential
for various periods of time during the
course of the broadcast incentive
auction (BIA) pursuant to 47 U.S.C.
1452(a)(3) and section 1.2206(b) of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.2206(b).
To the extent necessary, respondents
may request confidential treatment of
information collected on FCC Form 177
that is not already being treated as
confidential pursuant to section 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules. See 47 CFR
0.459.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: A request for
approval of this information collection
will be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) after
this 60-day comment period in order to
obtain the full three year clearance from
OMB. On February 22, 2012, the
President signed the Spectrum Act,
which, among other things, authorized
the Commission to conduct incentive
auctions, and directed that the
Commission use this innovative tool for
an incentive auction of broadcast
television spectrum to help meet the
Nation’s growing spectrum needs. See

Creation Act of 2012, Public Law 112–
96, sections 6402, 6403, 125 Stat. 156
(2012) (Spectrum Act). The
Commission’s broadcast incentive
auction (BIA) will have three main
components: (1) A reverse auction in
which broadcast television licensees
will submit bids to voluntarily
relinquish their spectrum usage rights in
exchange for defined shares of proceeds
from the forward auction; (2) a
repacking of the broadcast television
bands; and (3) a forward auction of
initial licenses for flexible use of the
newly available spectrum. The
information collection requirements
reported under this new collection are
the result of various Commission
actions in which the Commission
adopted general rules to govern the
auction—including various application
disclosures and certifications that must
be made by broadcast television
licensees to establish their eligibility to
participate in the reverse auction—in
order to implement the new and novel
incentive auction approach for use in
the BIA.
Under this information collection, the
Commission will collect information
that will be used to determine whether
an applicant is legally qualified to
participate in a reverse incentive
auction. To aid in collecting this
information, the Commission has
created FCC Form 177, which the public
will use to participate in reverse
incentive auctions, including the
Commission’s upcoming broadcast
incentive reverse auction. The
Commission’s auction rules and related
requirements are designed to ensure that
the competitive bidding process is
limited to serious qualified applicants,
deter possible abuse of the bidding and
licensing process, and enhance the use
of competitive bidding to assign
Commission licenses and permits in
furtherance of the public interest. The
information collected on FCC Form 177
will be used by the Commission to
determine if an applicant is legally
qualified to participate in the reverse
auction. Commission staff will review
the information collected on FCC Form
177 as part of the pre-auction process,
prior to the start of the reverse auction.
Staff will determine whether each
applicant satisfies the Commission’s
requirements to participate in the
reverse auction. Without the
information collected on FCC Form 177,
the Commission will not be able to
determine if an applicant is legally
qualified to participate in the reverse
auction and has complied with the
various applicable regulatory and

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
If respondents submit information
which respondents believe is
confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such
information pursuant to section 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: In a June 2015
Report and Order (FCC 15–70), the
Commission established the Numbering
Authorization Application process,
which allows interconnected VoIP
providers to apply for a blanket
authorization from the FCC that, once
granted, will allow them to demonstrate
that they have the authority to provide
service in specific areas, thus enabling
them to request numbers directly from
the Numbering Administrators. This
collection covers the information and
certifications that applicants must
submit in order to comply with the
Numbering Authorization Application
process. The data, information, and
documents acquired through this
collection will allow interconnected
VoIP providers to obtain numbers with
minimal burden or delay while also
preventing providers from obtaining
numbers without first demonstrating
that they can deploy and properly
utilize such resources. This information
will also help the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
protect against number exhaust while
promoting competitive neutrality among
