‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ within the
meaning of CAA section 307(b)(1).3 In
deciding to invoke this exception, the
Administrator has taken into account a
number of policy considerations,
including his judgment regarding the
benefit of obtaining the D.C. Circuit’s
authoritative centralized review, rather
than allowing development of the issue
in other contexts, in order to ensure
consistency in the Agency’s approach to
allocation of allowances in accordance
with EPA’s national regulations in 40
CFR part 84. The final action treats all
affected entities consistently in how the
Part 84 regulations are applied. The
allowance allocation is the division and
assignment of a single, nationwide pool
of HFC allowances to entities across the
country according to the uniform,
national methodology established in
EPA’s regulations, and each entity’s
allowance allocation is a relative share
of that pool; thus, any additional
allowances awarded to one entity
directly affect the allocations to others.
The Administrator finds that this is a
matter on which national uniformity is
desirable to take advantage of the D.C.
Circuit’s administrative law expertise
and facilitate the orderly development
of the basic law under the AIM Act and
EPA’s implementing regulations. The
Administrator also finds that
consolidated review of the action in the
D.C. Circuit will avoid piecemeal
litigation in the regional circuits, further
judicial economy, and eliminate the risk
of inconsistent results for different
regulated entities. The Administrator
also finds that a nationally consistent
approach to the allocation of allowances
constitutes the best use of agency
resources. The Administrator is
publishing his finding that the action is
based on a determination of nationwide
scope or effect in the Federal Register
as part of this notice in addition to
inclusion on the website announcing
allocations.
For these reasons, the final action of
the Agency allocating
hydrofluorocarbon allowances to
entities located throughout the country
is nationally applicable or, alternatively,
the Administrator is exercising the
complete discretion afforded to him by
the CAA and finds that the final action
is based on a determination of
nationwide scope or effect for purposes
of CAA section 307(b)(1) and is hereby
3 In the report on the 1977 Amendments that
revised section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress
noted that the Administrator’s determination that
the ‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ exception applies
would be appropriate for any action that has a
scope or effect beyond a single judicial circuit. See
H.R. Rep. No. 95–294 at 323, 324, reprinted in 1977

action must be filed in the United States

Columbia Circuit by December 12, 2022.

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning:
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
PRA that does not display a valid OMB
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before December 12,
2022. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it

Purposes of the Satellite Home Viewer
Act.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 848 respondents; 250,000
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.50
hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, On
occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
action is contained in 47 U.S.C. 339.
Total Annual Burden to Respondents:
125,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirements contained in 47
CFR 73.686 describes a method for
measuring signal strength at a
household so that the satellite and
broadcast industries would have a
uniform method for making an actual
determination of the signal strength that
a household received. The information
gathered as part of the noise-limited
service contour signal strength tests will
be used to indicate whether a household
is ‘‘unserved’’ by over-the-air network
signals.
Satellite and broadcast industries
making field strength measurements for
formal submission to the Commission in
rulemaking proceedings, or making such
measurements upon the request of the
Commission, shall follow the procedure
for making and reporting such
measurements which shall be included
in a report to the Commission and
submitted in affidavit form, in triplicate.
The report shall contain the following
information:
(a) Tables of field strength
measurements, which for each
measuring location; (b) U.S. Geological
Survey topographic maps; (c) All
information necessary to determine the
pertinent characteristics of the
transmitting installation; (d) A list of

strength survey; (e) A detailed
description of the calibration of the
measuring equipment, and (f) Terrain
profiles in each direction in which
measurements were made.
The information collection
requirements contained in 47 CFR
73.686 also requires satellite and
broadcast companies to maintain a
written record describing, for each
location, factors which may affect the
recorded field (i.e., the approximate
time or measurement, weather,
topography, overhead wiring, heights
and types of vegetation, buildings and
other structures, the orientation of the
measuring location, objects of such
shape and size that cause shadows or
reflections, signals received that arrived
from a direction other than that of the
transmitter, survey, list of the measured
value field strength, time and date of the
measurements and signature of the
person making the measurements).
The information collection
requirements contained in 47 CFR
73.686(e) describes the procedures for
measuring the field strength of
television signals. These procedures are
used to determine whether a household
is eligible to receive a distant digital
network signal from a satellite television
provider, relying on existing, proven
methods. The signal measurement
procedures include provisions for the
location of the measurement antenna,
antenna height, signal measurement
method, antenna orientation and
polarization, and data recording.
Pursuant to 47 CFR 73.686(e)(3),
satellite and broadcast industries
making field strength measurements
shall maintain written records and
include the following information: (a) A
list of calibrated equipment used in the
field strength survey, which for each
instrument specifies the manufacturer,
type, serial number and rated accuracy,
and the date of the most recent
calibration by the manufacturer or by a
laboratory. Include complete details of
any instrument not of standard
manufacture; (b) A detailed description
of the calibration of the measuring
equipment, including field strength
meters, measuring antenna, and

the measuring site, all factors which
may affect the recorded field, such as
topography, height and types of
vegetation, buildings, obstacles,
weather, and other local features; (d) A
description of where the cluster
measurements were made; (e) Time and
date of the measurements and signature
of the person making the measurements;
