Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This rulemaking action proposes to make a determination of attainment on the 2008 ozone NAAQS based on air quality and, if finalized, would not impose additional requirements. For that reason, this proposed determination of attainment: • Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); • is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); • does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); • does not have federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); • is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); • is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); • is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and • does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This SIP, proposing to determine that the Washington Area attained the 2008 ozone NAAQS by its July 20, 2016 attainment date, is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151 or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

Background

    1. On March 7, 2017, the Commission released a Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) in WC Docket No.

[[Page 19015]]

10-90, WT Docket No. 10-208. The FNPRM set deadlines for filing 
comments and reply comments at 30 and 45 days, respectively, after 
publication of the FNPRM in the Federal Register. A summary of the 
FNPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 13, 2017. 78 FR 
39691. Accordingly, the filing dates were established as April 12, 2017 
for comments and April 27, 2017 for reply comments. The deadline for 
filing justifications for confidentiality requests in the Form 477 
Public Notice was established as April 12, 2017. On April 7, 2017, CTIA 
filed a request to extend the comment deadline by 14 days and to extend 
the reply comment deadline by 14 days thereafter. CTIA also requested a 
14-day extension of the justification for confidentiality requests for 
mobile speed data from the Form 477 Public Notice. CTIA states that 
these extensions are warranted to establish a full and complete record, 
better address technically complex and complicated questions, and 
increase the possibility of its developing an industry consensus 
proposal for the challenge process before submitting comments and reply 
comments. We grant the requested extensions.
    2. As set forth in section 1.46 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 
1.46(a), the Commission's policy is that extensions of time for filing 
comments in rulemaking proceedings shall not be routinely granted. In 
the instant case, however, we find that granting an extension of the 
comment and reply comment periods will serve the public interest by 
allowing consumer and industry representatives additional time to seek 
consensus regarding the FNPRM issues and by facilitating the 
development of a more complete record on complicated issues. Further, 
given that the Commission has extended the deadlines for filing 
comments and reply comments in this matter, it will also extend the 
deadline to submit justifications for confidentiality requests for the 
minimum advertised or expected 4G LTE mobile speeds included in their 
Form 477 filings in order to allow the related deadlines to remain 
aligned.
