Notice is hereby given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, of a proposed prospective purchaser settlement agreement, embodied in an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue, with the State of Montana, MAC LTT, LLC, which is purchasing the Property, and MAC LTT Manufacturing, Inc., a related entity to MAC, which, although not purchasing the Property, has leased the Property since 2013 and will continue to lease and operate the Property after MAC purchases the Property. This Settlement Agreement pertains to a portion of the approximately 580-acre area known as the Lockwood Solvent Ground Water Plume Superfund Site located at 1430 U.S. Highway 87 East, Billings, Montana. Neither of the MAC-related business entities is responsible for the original contamination at the Site. Under the proposed Settlement Agreement, both MAC LTT, LLC and MAC LTT Manufacturing, Inc. would be required to comply with standard CERCLA bona fide prospective purchaser continuing obligations, including access, appropriate care, and non-interference with the CERCLA remedy. The proposed Settlement Agreement provides for the payment of certain response costs incurred by the EPA and the State of Montana at or in connection with the Site. The proposed Settlement Agreement includes a covenant by the United States and the State of Montana not to sue or take administrative action against MAC LTT, LLC and MAC LTT Manufacturing, Inc., pursuant to sections 106 and 107(a) of CERCLA for Existing Contamination, as that term is defined in the proposed Settlement Agreement, and for payment of response costs. For thirty (30) days 69327 following the date of publication of this document, the EPA will receive written comments relating to the settlement. The EPA will consider all comments received and may modify or withdraws its consent to the Settlement Agreement if comments received disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. The EPA’s response to any comments received will be available for public inspection at EPA Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202.

DATES: FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISION SUMMARY: all remaining invoices and other documentation on FCC Form 2100, Schedule 399 (Reimbursement Form) for reimbursement from the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund (Reimbursement Fund or Fund). Eligible entities assigned repack transition completion dates in the first half of the 39-month postauction transition period must submit all remaining invoices for incurred expenses by October 8, 2021. The deadline for eligible entities assigned completion dates in the second half of the transition period is March 22, 2022. The deadline for all other participants in the reimbursement program is September 5, 2022. These deadlines are established to help ensure that all eligible invoices are processed and that entities are able to complete the Fund close-out procedures prior to July 3, 2023, when any unobligated amounts in the Fund will be rescinded and deposited into the U.S. Treasury. Entities are encouraged to initiate close out procedures as early as possible and we emphasize that they need not wait for their assigned final invoice filing deadline to do so.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At the close of the incentive auction and beginning of the post-auction transition period on April 13, 2017, there were 987 full power and Class A stations reassigned (repacked) to new channels. The Commission established a 39month period running until July 13, 2020, for repacked television stations to transition off of their pre-auction channels. The Commission determined that a phased construction schedule would facilitate efficient use of the resources necessary to complete the transition and adopted the Transition Scheduling Plan (Plan) that assigned each repacked station to one of 10 phases. Each phase had a designated completion date by which stations assigned to that phase were required to vacate their pre-auction channels. The completion date for Phase 1 was November 8, 2018, and the subsequent phases had subsequent completions dates through the Phase 10 completion date on July 3, 2020. All 987 repacked stations have now vacated their preauction channels. As of October 6, 2020, over 92% of the repacked stations are operating on their final facilities. The remaining 76 stations have been granted special temporary authority and revised construction permit deadlines to continue pursuing completion of their final facilities. We are optimistic that these remaining stations will be able to meet their revised deadlines and we will continue to monitor and work with them to ensure the continued success of the post-incentive auction transition.
