stipulated notice of dismissal from
persons who are not named as parties to
the litigation in question. If so
requested, EPA will also consider
holding a public hearing on whether to
agree to the proposed joint stipulation
and stipulated notice of dismissal. EPA
or the Department of Justice may
withdraw or withhold consent to the
proposed joint stipulation or proposed
stipulated notice of dismissal if the
comments disclose facts or
considerations that indicate that such
consent is inappropriate, improper,
inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the ESA or FIFRA.

A. How can I get a copy of the proposed
stipulated order of partial dismissal?
The official public docket for this
action (identified by EPA–HQ–OGC–
2018–0745) contains a copy of the
proposed stipulation and proposed
order of dismissal. The official public
docket is available for public viewing at
the Office of Environmental Information
(OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center,
EPA West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.
The EPA Docket Center Public Reading
Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
legal holidays. The telephone number
for the Public Reading Room is (202)
566–1744, and the telephone number for
the OEI Docket is (202) 566–1752.
An electronic version of the public
docket is available on EPA’s website at
https://www.epa.gov/ogc/proposedconsent-decrees-and-draft-settlementagreements and through
www.regulations.gov. You may use
www.regulations.gov to submit or view
public comments, access the index
listing of the contents of the official
public docket, and access those
documents in the public docket that are
available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket
identification number then select
‘‘search.’’ It is important to note that
EPA’s policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in
paper, will be made available for public
viewing online at www.regulations.gov
without change, unless the comment
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or
other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute
is not included in the official public
docket or in the electronic public
docket.
EPA’s policy is that copyrighted
material, including copyrighted material
contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA’s electronic public
docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public
docket. Although not all docket
materials may be available
electronically, you may still access any
of the publicly available docket
materials through the EPA Docket
Center.
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, email address,
or other contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system. If you send an email comment
directly to the Docket without going
through www.regulations.gov, your
email address is automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA’s
electronic public docket.
B. How and to whom do I submit

provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an email
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD–ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information
on the substance of your comment. Any
identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will
be included as part of the comment that
is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA’s electronic
public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment.

Dated: December 4, 2018.
Joseph E. Cole,
Associate General Counsel.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
Open Commission Meeting,
Wednesday, December 12, 2018
December 4, 2018.
The Federal Communications
Commission will hold an Open Meeting
on the subjects listed below on
Wednesday, December 12, 2018 which
is scheduled to commence at 10:30 a.m.
in Room TW–C305, at 445 12th Street
SW, Washington, DC.
Because of the closure of the federal
government for a National Day of
Mourning for President George H.W.
Bush on Wednesday, December 5, the
Commission has determined that it is in
the public interest to delay the onset of
the sunshine period prohibition
contained in Section 1.1203 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 1.1203.
Accordingly, consistent with Section
1.1200(a) of the Commission’s rules, 47
CFR 1.1200(a), the Commission has
modified its rules so that the sunshine
period prohibition will begin at 11:59
p.m. on Thursday, December 6, rather
than at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday,
December 5.
Item No.

Subject

WIRELESS TELE-COMMUNICATIONS ..
Title: Use of Spectrum Bands Above 24 GHz For Mobile Radio Services (GN
Docket No. 14–177).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Report and Order that would adopt
service rule changes for the Upper 37 GHz (37.6–38.6 GHz), 39 GHz (38.6–40
GHz), and 47 GHz (47.2–48.2 GHz) bands, and would provide for an incentive
auction mechanism that would offer contiguous blocks of spectrum in the Upper
37 GHz and 39 GHz bands and additional spectrum in the 47 GHz band.

Title: Connect America Fund (WC Docket No. 10–90); ETC Annual Reports and
Certifications (WC Docket No. 14–58); Establishing Just and Reasonable Rates
for Local Exchange Carriers (WC Docket No. 07–135); Developing a Unified
Intercarrier Compensation Regime (CC Docket No. 01–92).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Report and Order, Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, and Order on Reconsideration. The Report and Order
would offer additional funding to carriers that currently receive model-based universal service support in exchange for deploying broadband at increased
speeds, provide an opportunity for legacy carriers to transition to model-based
support, and authorize additional support for carriers remaining on the legacy
rate-of-return support mechanism in exchange for targeting higher broadband
speeds. The FNPRM would seek comment on implementing an auction mechanism for support in legacy areas that are overlapped or almost entirely overlapped by an unsubsidized competitor, and on addressing budgetary impacts as
carriers transition to broadband-only lines. The Order on Reconsideration would
deny three petitions for reconsideration.
Title: Advanced Methods to Target and Eliminate Unlawful Robocalls (CG Docket
No. 17–59).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Second Report and Order that would
create a comprehensive database to enable callers to verify whether a telephone number has been permanently disconnected, and is therefore eligible for
reassignment, before calling that number, thereby helping to protect consumers
with reassigned numbers from receiving unwanted robocalls.
Title: Petitions for Declaratory Ruling on Regulatory Status of Wireless Messaging
Service (WT Docket No. 08–7).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Declaratory Ruling that would classify
two forms of wireless messaging, Short Message Service (SMS) and Multimedia
Messaging Service (MMS), as information services under the Communications
Act, and help prevent consumers from receiving spam robotexts.
Title: 2018 Quadrennial Regulatory Review—Review of the Commission’s Broadcast Ownership Rules and Other Rules Adopted Pursuant to Section 202 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (MB Docket No. 18–349).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that
would initiate the 2018 Quadrennial Review of certain broadcast ownership
rules.
Title: Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 5, 73, and 74 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding Posting of Station Licenses and Related Information (MB Docket No. 18–
121); Modernization of Media Regulation Initiative (MB Docket No. 17–105).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Report and Order that would eliminate
certain rules which require local posting and maintenance of broadcast licenses
and related information in specific locations.
Title: Enforcement Bureau Action Communications Marketplace Report (GN Docket No. 18–231); The State of Mobile Wireless Competition (WT Docket No. 18–
203); Status of Competition in the Market for the Delivery of Video Programming
(MB Docket No. 17–214); Status of Competition in the Marketplace for Delivery
of Audio Programming (MB 18–227); Satellite Communications Services for the
Communications Marketplace Report (IB Docket No. 18–251).
Summary: The Commission will consider a Report that would consolidate several
previously separate Commission reports into a single report on the state of the
broader communications market in the United States. It would assess the state
of all forms of competition in the communications marketplace and the state of
deployment of communications capabilities, describe the actions taken by the
Commission in the previous two years to address challenges and opportunities
in the communications marketplace, and discuss the Commission’s agenda for
continuing to address those challenges and opportunities over the next two
years.
