designations have not yet occurred for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
Response: Comments regarding the
2015 ozone NAAQS are outside the
scope of this action. The petition
requested the EPA to expand the OTR
on the basis of alleged air quality
problems associated with attaining and
maintaining the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
The December 2013 petition was
submitted prior to the EPA
strengthening the ozone NAAQS in
2015. Consequently, the EPA’s proposal
focused on the appropriate mechanism
to address interstate transport issues
relative to the 2008 ozone NAAQS—not
the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The EPA is,
therefore, limiting this final action to
the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Comments on
any determinations made in prior
rulemaking actions to identify
downwind air quality problems relative
to the 2015 ozone NAAQS or to quantify
upwind state emission reduction
obligations relative to those air quality
problems, including the EPA’s decision
to focus on certain precursor emissions
or sources, are not within the scope of
this action.

VI. Final Action To Deny the CAA
Section 176A Petition
Based on the considerations outlined
at proposal, after considering all
comments, and for the reasons
described in this action, the EPA is
denying the CAA section 176A petition
submitted by nine petitioning states in
December 2013. The EPA continues to
believe an expansion of the OTR is
unnecessary at this time and would not
be the most efficient or effective way to
address the remaining interstate
transport issues for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS in states currently included in
the OTR. Additional local and regional
ozone precursor emissions reductions
are expected in the coming years from
already on-the-books rules. The EPA
believes its authority and the states’
authority under other CAA provisions
(including CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)) will allow the agency
and states to develop a more effective
remedy for addressing any remaining air
quality problems for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS identified by the petitioners.
VII. Judicial Review and
Determinations Under Section 307(b)(1)
of the CAA
Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates
which Federal Courts of Appeal have
venue for petitions of review of final
actions by the EPA. This section
provides, in part, that petitions for
review must be filed in the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit if (i) the agency action consists
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:18 Nov 02, 2017
Jkt 244001
of ‘‘nationally applicable regulations
promulgated, or final action taken, by
the Administrator,’’ or (ii) such action is
locally or regionally applicable, if ‘‘such
action is based on a determination of
nationwide scope or effect and if in
taking such action the Administrator
finds and publishes that such action is
based on such a determination.’’
This final action is ‘‘nationally
applicable.’’ Additionally, the EPA finds
that this action is based on a
determination of ‘‘nationwide scope and
effect.’’ This action makes a
determination on a petition from nine
states in the Northeast, which would
impact another nine states in the MidAtlantic, Southern, and Midwestern
areas of the U.S. These 18 states span
five regional federal judicial circuits as
well as the District of Columbia. The
determinations on which this action is
based rest in part on the scope and
effect of certain other nationally
applicable rulemakings under the CAA,
including the CSAPR and the CSAPR
Update. For these reasons, this final
action is ‘‘nationally applicable,’’ and
the Administrator also finds that this
action is based on a determination of
nationwide scope and effect for
purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1).
Pursuant to CAA section 307(b)(1),
any petitions for review of this final
action should be filed in the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit within 60 days from the date this
action is published in the Federal
Register.

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has received Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval for a revision of a currently
approved public information collection
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number, and no person is
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
Comments concerning the accuracy of
the burden estimates and any
suggestions for reducing the burden
should be directed to the person listed
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cathy Williams, Office of the Managing
Director, at (202) 418–2918, or email:
Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The total
annual reporting burdens and costs for
the respondents are as follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1166.
OMB Approval Date: October 23,
2017.
OMB Expiration Date: October 31,
2020.
Title: Section 1.21001, Participation
in Competitive Bidding for Support;
Section 1.21002, Prohibition of Certain
Communications During the
Competitive Bidding Process.
Form Number: N/A.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 750 respondents and 750
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.5
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 1,125 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
47 U.S.C. 154, 254 and 303(r).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Information collected in each
application for universal service support
will be made available for public
inspection, and the Commission is not
requesting that respondents submit
confidential information to the
Commission as part of the pre-auction
application process. Respondents
seeking to have information collected on
an application for universal service
support withheld from public
inspection may request confidential
treatment of such information pursuant
to section 0.459 of the Commission’s
rules, 47 CFR Section 0.459.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will use the information collected under
this collection to determine whether
applicants are eligible to participate in
auctions for Universal Service Fund
support. On November 18, 2011, the
Commission released an order

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 212 / Friday, November 3, 2017 / Notices
comprehensively reforming and
modernizing the universal service and
intercarrier compensation systems,
creating the Connect America Fund
(CAF), the Connect America Mobility
Fund (MF), including the Tribal
Mobility Fund (TMF), and the Remote
Areas Fund (RAF). To implement these
reforms and conduct competitive
bidding for CAF, MF, TMF, and RAF
support, the Commission adopted new
rules containing information collection
requirements that would be used to
determine whether an applicant is
generally qualified to bid for universal
service support. The Commission also
adopted rules containing information
collection requirements that would be
used to determine whether an applicant
is specifically qualified to bid for Phase
I of the Mobility Fund and Tribal
Mobility Fund.
The revised collection removes the
information collection requirements that
apply specifically to applicants seeking
to participate in competitive bidding for
Mobility Fund Phase I (MF–I) and Tribal
Mobility Fund Phase I (TMF–I) support,
and the associated FCC Form 180 used
by entities applying to participate in the
MF–I and TMF–I auctions, because
support under MF–I and TMF–I has
been awarded. The revised collection
retains the information collection
requirements that apply generally to all
applicants seeking to participate in
competitive bidding for universal
service support. The revised collection
also amends the title of the information
collection to ‘‘Section 1.21001,
Participation in Competitive Bidding for
Support; Section 1.21002, Prohibition of
Certain Communications During the
Competitive Bidding Process’’ to reflect
the revised information collection.
The Commission will use the
information collected under the revised
information collection to determine
whether applicants are legally,
technically, and financially qualified to
participate in a Commission auction for
universal service support. The
information collection requirements
retained under this collection are
designed to limit the competitive
bidding to qualified applicants; to deter
possible abuse of the bidding process;
and to enhance the use of competitive
bidding to distribute Universal Service
Fund (USF) support in furtherance of
the public interest. Commission staff
reviews the information collected as
part of the pre-auction process, prior to
the auction being held, and determines
whether each applicant satisfies the
Commission’s requirements to
participate in the auction. Thus, the
information is being collected to meet
the objectives of the USF program.
