IV. Summary of Our Proposed Action
Today, in accordance with section
188(b)(2) of the CAA, the EPA is
proposing to determine that the West
Central Pinal County Moderate
nonattainment area attained the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS by its applicable
attainment date, December 31, 2017.
Our determination of attainment is
based on complete, quality-assured and
certified PM2.5 monitoring data for the
appropriate three-year period, 2015–
2017. We are soliciting comments on
this proposed determination of
attainment by the attainment date.
If our proposal is finalized as
proposed, West Central Pinal County
will remain a Moderate nonattainment
area and will not be reclassified to a
Serious nonattainment area. A final rule
determining that West Central Pinal
County attained the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS by its applicable attainment
date would not, however, constitute a
redesignation of the area to attainment.
States are required to meet several
additional statutory requirements before
the EPA can redesignate a
nonattainment area to attainment of a
NAAQS, including the EPA’s approval
of a state implementation plan
demonstrating maintenance of the
NAAQS for ten years after
redesignation. The EPA is committed to
working with states that submit
redesignation requests for the 2006 24hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Our proposal today
only addresses our statutory obligation
to determine if the West Central Pinal
County nonattainment area has attained
the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS by its
applicable attainment date, December
31, 2017.

V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action proposes to determine
that the West Central Pinal County has
met the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS as
a statement of fact according to
regulations and requirements discussed
in the proposal. For that reason, this
proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because this action is not
significant under Executive Order
12866;
• 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 Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide the EPA with the
discretionary authority to address
disproportionate human health or
environmental effects with practical,
appropriate, and legally permissible
methods under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this proposed
determination is not approved to apply
on any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where the EPA or an Indian
tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the proposed determination
does not have tribal implications and
PO 00000
Frm 00010

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).

Synopsis
1. The Wireline Competition Bureau
(Bureau) makes several announcements
regarding the above-referenced dockets.
First, the Bureau announces that it is
supplementing the record in the price
cap business data services (BDS)
proceedings with tables and
accompanying information prepared by
the Office of Economics and Analytics,
derived from highly confidential data
from the 2015 Data Collection. These
tables and accompanying information
show the distances from competitive
provider fiber to incumbent local
exchange carrier (LEC) wire centers and
end user buildings with BDS demand in
price cap areas (the April Data Tables).
The Bureau seeks focused public
comment on the extent to which the
April Data Tables inform the extent of
competition and competitive pressure in
the market for lower speed (DS3 and
below) time division multiplexing
(TDM) transport services in price cap
areas.
2. Second, to allow parties access to
the 2015 Data Collection, including the
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
April Data Tables, and the opportunity
to comment, the Bureau announces that
it will (1) reopen the secure data enclave
which will house these data upon
publication of this document in the
Federal Register; and (2) close it at the
end of the comment and reply period
established by this document, unless an
interested party demonstrates a
continuing need for access.
3. Third, pending the resolution of
any objections to the Bureau
incorporating the 2015 Data Collection
into the record of the USTelecom
Forbearance Petition proceeding, the
Bureau announces that it will also
incorporate the April Data Tables into
the record of that proceeding. The
Bureau will allow access to the secure
data enclave for parties in the
USTelecom Forbearance Petition
proceeding subject to a forthcoming
protective order.
4. Fourth, the Bureau also seeks
comment in the USTelecom
Forbearance Petition proceeding on the
extent to which the 2015 Data
Collection, including the April Data
Tables, provide relevant information to
evaluate USTelecom’s request for
forbearance from the requirements to
provide transport as an unbundled
network element (UNE) pursuant to
section 251(c)(3) of the Act and section
51.319(d) of the Commission’s rules. In
addition, for the purposes of the
USTelecom Forbearance Petition
proceeding, the Bureau seeks comment
on the public filings submitted in
response to the Second Further Notice
and Further Notice in the BDS
proceedings, WC Docket Nos. 17–144,
16–143 and 05–25, since it was released
on October 24, 2018.
5. The Bureau will place the April
Data Tables in the secure data enclave
which, pursuant to the protective orders
in the price cap BDS proceedings, is the
exclusive method for accessing highly
confidential data submitted as part of
the 2015 Data Collection. Parties
seeking to access the April Data Tables
for purposes of participating in the price
cap BDS proceedings must follow the
procedures provided for in the
Protective Orders in that proceeding for
accessing highly confidential data.
Those seeking access to the April Data
Tables for purposes of participating in
the USTelecom Forbearance Petition
proceeding must follow the procedures
set forth for accessing highly
confidential data in the forthcoming
protective order in that proceeding.
6. Participants in the price cap BDS
proceedings previously authorized to
access the secure data enclave pursuant
to the Protective Orders in the price cap
BDS proceedings may request renewed

9. Ex Parte Presentations. This proceeding shall be treated as a
``permit-but-disclose'' proceeding in accordance with the Commission's
ex parte rules. Persons making ex parte presentations must file a copy
of any written presentation or a memorandum summarizing any oral
presentation within two business days after the presentation (unless a
different deadline applicable to the Sunshine period applies). Persons
making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda
summarizing the presentation must (1) list all persons attending or
otherwise participating in the meeting at which the ex parte
presentation was made, and (2) summarize all data presented and
arguments made during the presentation. If the presentation consisted
in whole or in part of the presentation of data or arguments already
reflected in the presenter's written comments, memoranda or other
filings in the proceeding, the presenter may provide citations to such
data or arguments in his or her prior comments, memoranda, or other
filings (specifying the relevant page and/or paragraph numbers where
such data or arguments can be found) in lieu of summarizing them in the
memorandum. Documents shown or given to Commission staff during ex
parte meetings are deemed to be written ex parte presentations and must
be filed consistent with rule 1.1206(b). In proceedings governed by
Rule 1.49(f) or for which the Commission has made available a method of
electronic filing, written ex parte presentations and memoranda
summarizing oral ex parte presentations, and all attachments thereto,
must be filed through the electronic comment filing system available
for that proceeding, and must be filed in their native format (e.g.,
.doc, .xml, .ppt, searchable .pdf). Participants in this proceeding
should familiarize themselves with the Commission's ex parte rules.
