SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Synopsis 1. The Order on Reconsideration dismisses two petitions for reconsideration of the Sixth Report and Order, 85 FR 53234 (Aug. 28, 2020), filed by CTIA and APCO, 85 FR 66333 (Oct. 19, 2020), as procedurally defective and, in the alternative, denies these petitions on their merits. In the Fifth Report and Order, 85 FR 2660 (Jan. 16, 2020), the Commission adopted a zaxis (vertical) location accuracy metric of plus or minus 3 meters for 80 percent of indoor wireless Enhanced 911 (E911) calls for z-axis capable handsets. The Commission also required nationwide commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) providers to deploy dispatchable location or z-axis technology that meets this metric in the top 25 markets by April 3, 2021 and in the top 50 markets by April 3, 2023. In a companion Fifth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 85 FR 2683 (Jan. 16, 2020), the Commission proposed rules to improve E911 wireless location accuracy. Among other things, the Commission sought comment on alternative methods for carriers to demonstrate z-axis technology deployment and expanding dispatchable location solutions. In the Sixth Report and Order, the Commission rejected arguments to extend the deployment timeline and added a requirement for nationwide CMRS providers to deploy z-axis location technology nationwide by April 2025. In addition, the Commission required CMRS providers, as of January 6, 2022, to provide dispatchable location for wireless 911 calls if it is technically feasible and cost-effective to do so. The Commission also allowed providers to provide dispatchable location by means other than the National Emergency Address Database (NEAD), which ceased operations subsequent to the release of the Fifth Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 2. CTIA and APCO filed their petitions on September 28 and PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 September 23, 2020, respectively. In its petition, CTIA argued that the COVID– 19 pandemic has stalled any ability to validate whether z-axis location solutions can meet the Commission’s vertical location accuracy requirements. CTIA also asserted that the compliance timeline adopted by the Commission was premised on vendor promises that ‘‘have not panned out’’ and that time is running out for meeting the April 2021 deadline. According to CTIA, reconsideration of the Sixth Report and Order would provide an opportunity for the Commission to adopt a framework based on the use of mobile OS-based solutions. CTIA asserted that this would provide a ‘‘viable path’’ to achieving ‘‘accurate 9-1-1 vertical location information nationwide.’’ In its reconsideration petition, APCO asked the Commission to require CMRS providers to deliver dispatchable location for a minimum percentage of 911 calls—an alternative that APCO had previously proposed and the Commission rejected—rather than tie the dispatchable location benchmark to the number of address reference points in a location database. In addition, APCO sought reconsideration of the requirement that CMRS providers supply dispatchable location if it is technically feasible and cost effective to do so. APCO took issue with the Commission’s prior decision not to adopt its proposal to require dispatchable location for a minimum percentage of calls and disputed the conclusion that a minimum percentage threshold would go beyond what is technically feasible and cost effective. 3. The Commission determined that CTIA’s petition for reconsideration of the longstanding timelines for implementing the z-axis was repetitive, untimely, and failed to offer sufficient factual details that would support grant of a waiver to a particular provider. The Commission determined that CTIA’s petition was procedurally improper because it repeated arguments raised by other commenters that the Commission fully addressed in the Sixth Report and Order. While the Commission noted in the Sixth Report and Order that the pandemic had created challenges, the Commission declined to change the long-established 2021 deadline. The Commission also stated in the Sixth Report and Order that parties able to show good cause due to pandemicrelated hardship could seek a waiver in accordance with the Commission’s rules. CTIA failed to offer sufficient factual details about any of its individual member service providers that would support grant of a waiver to E:\FR\FM\09FER1.SGM 09FER1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. What changes to Illinois' hazardous waste program is EPA authorizing 
with this action?

    On August 7, 2019, Illinois submitted a complete program revision 
application seeking authorization of changes to its hazardous waste 
program in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA published a Proposed Rule 
on July 30, 2020 and requested public comment. EPA received two 
comments which were generally supportive of this state authorization 
action. EPA now makes a final decision that Illinois' hazardous waste 
program revisions that are being authorized are equivalent to, 
consistent with, and no less stringent than the Federal program, and 
therefore satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for 
final authorization. For a list of State rules being authorized with 
this Final Authorization, please see the Proposed Rule published in the 
July 30, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 45834.

B. What is codification and is EPA codifying the Illinois' hazardous 
waste program as authorized in this rule?

    Codification is the process of placing citations and references to 
the State's statutes and regulations that comprise the State's 
authorized hazardous waste program into the Code of Federal 
Regulations. EPA does this by adding those citations and references to 
the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. EPA is not codifying the 
authorization of Illinois' revisions at this time. However, EPA 
reserves the ability to amend 40 CFR part 272, subpart O for the 
authorization of Illinois' program changes at a later date.

C. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final authorization revises Illinois' authorized hazardous 
waste management program pursuant to Section 3006 of RCRA and imposes 
no requirements other than those currently imposed by State law. For 
further information on how this authorization complies with applicable 
executive orders and statutory provisions, please see the Proposed Rule 
published in the July 30, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 45834. The 
Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General

[[Page 8714]]

of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this document 
and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect 
until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This 
action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This 
final action will be effective February 9, 2021.
