permitting and enforcement functions.
IPDES Program Summary: As
required under section 402(b) of the
CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1342(b), and 40 CFR
123.22, the IPDES program description
specifies how IDEQ will administer the
NPDES program. IDEQ will issue IPDES
permits under their jurisdiction;
conduct compliance and enforcement
activities; gather and maintain NPDES
records and report to the EPA; and
oversee the regulated activities of all
IPDES-permitted facilities. The EPA will
retain the authority to issue NPDES
permits for facilities located on tribal
lands and/or discharging to tribal
waters. The scope of IDEQ permitting
authority includes individual and
general permits for discharges to waters
of the United States from facilities or
activities, including industrial (e.g.,
commercial, mining, oil and gas, and
silviculture discharges; animal feeding
operations; and aquatic animal
production facilities) and municipal
wastewater treatment facilities (e.g.,
publicly and privately owned treatment
works); discharges to waters of the
United States from federal facilities;
storm water discharges, including
municipal storm sewer systems
(combined and separate); construction
and industrial storm water general
permits; and individual permits for
storm water discharges; sewage sludge
(biosolids) under 40 CFR part 503 and
the pretreatment program under 40 CFR
part 403. IDEQ’s program will not
include permitting of discharges
incidental to the normal operation of a
non-military, non-recreational vessel
operating in a capacity as a means of
transportation; the EPA will continue to
issue permits under CWA section 402 to
regulate such discharges from nonmilitary, non-recreational vessels greater
than 79 feet in length and all ballast
water discharges.
IDEQ will assume permitting and
compliance authority for the NPDES
program in four phases. The EPA will
retain full permitting and compliance
authority over facilities until that
authority is transferred to IDEQ in
accordance with the following schedule:
Phase I—Individual Municipal
Permits and Pretreatment upon gaining
program authority (anticipated July 1,
2018).
Phase II—Individual Industrial
Permits, one year after program
authorization (anticipated July 1, 2019).
Phase III—General Permits
(Aquaculture, Pesticide, CAFO, Suction
Dredge, Remediation), two years after
program authorization (anticipated July
1, 2020).

Phase IV—Federal Facilities, General
and Individual Stormwater Permits and
Biosolids, three years after program
authorization (anticipated July 1, 2021).
Authority: This action is taken under the
authority of section 402 of the Clean Water
Act as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1342. I hereby
provide public notice of the application by
the State of Idaho for approval to administer
the State NPDES program, in accordance
with 40 CFR 123.61.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of a new matching
program.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(‘‘Privacy Act’’), this document
announces the establishment of a
computer matching program the Federal
Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’
or ‘‘Commission’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) and the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) will conduct with the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The purpose of
this matching program is to verify the
eligibility of applicants to and
subscribers of the Universal Service
Fund (USF) Lifeline program, which is
administered by USAC under the
direction of the FCC.
DATES: Written comments are due on or
before September 11, 2017. This
computer matching program will
commence on September 11, 2017
unless comments are received that
require a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Mr.
Leslie F. Smith, Privacy Manager,
Information Technology (IT), Room
1–C216, FCC, 445 12th Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20554, or to
Leslie.Smith@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Leslie F. Smith, (202) 418–0217, or
Leslie.Smith@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Lifeline program provides support for
discounted broadband and voice
services to low-income consumers.
Lifeline is administered by the
Universal Service Administrative
Company (USAC) under FCC direction.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Consumers qualify for Lifeline through
proof of income or participation in a
qualifying program, such as Medicaid,
the Supplemental Nutritional
Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal
Public Housing Assistance,
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit.
In a Report and Order adopted on March
31, 2016, the Commission ordered
USAC to create a National Lifeline
Eligibility Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’),
including the National Lifeline
Eligibility Database (LED), that would
match data about Lifeline applicants
and subscribers with other data sources
to verify the eligibility of an applicant
or subscriber. The Commission found
that the National Verifier would reduce
compliance costs for Lifeline service
providers, improve service for Lifeline
subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud,
and abuse in the program.

The Department of Housing and Urban
Development—Enterprise Income

3962, 4006–21, paras. 126–66 (2016)
(2016 Lifeline Modernization Order).
PURPOSE(S):
In the 2016 Lifeline Modernization
Order, the FCC required USAC to
develop and operate a National Lifeline
Eligibility Verifier (National Verifier) to
improve efficiency and reduce waste,
fraud, and abuse in the Lifeline
program. The stated purpose of the
National Verifier is ‘‘to increase the
integrity and improve the performance
of the Lifeline program for the benefit of
a variety of Lifeline participants,
including Lifeline providers,
subscribers, states, community-based
organizations, USAC, and the
Commission.’’ 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006,
para. 126. To help determine whether
Lifeline applicants and subscribers are
eligible for Lifeline benefits, the Order
contemplates that a USAC-operated
Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED) will
communicate with information systems
and databases operated by other Federal
and State agencies. Id. at 4011–2, paras.
