Summary: On August 11, 2023, the
EPA published the Used Drum
Management and Reconditioning
Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking to solicit information and
request comments to assist in the
potential development of non-regulatory
and regulatory options that would
ensure the proper management of used
industrial containers that held
hazardous chemicals or hazardous
waste, up to and including the drum
reconditioning process. Options could
include revising the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
regulations or other, non-regulatory
options. This ANPRM does not propose
any regulatory requirements or change
any existing regulatory requirements.

The ANPRM’s comment period was
scheduled to end on September 25,
2023. Since publication, EPA has
received several requests to extend that
comment period to allow for additional
time to develop comments on the
ANPRM. After considering the requests
for additional time, the EPA has decided
to extend the comment period through
November 22, 2023.

Inspection of Public Comments: All
comments received before the close of
the comment period are available for
viewing by the public, including any
personally identifiable or confidential
business information that is included in
a comment. We post all comments
received before the close of the
comment period on the following
website as soon as possible after they
have been received: https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the search
instructions on that website to view
public comments. CMS will not post on
Regulations.gov public comments that
make threats to individuals or
institutions or suggest that the
individual will take actions to harm the
individual. CMS continues to encourage
individuals not to submit duplicative
comments. We will post acceptable
comments from multiple unique
commenters even if the content is
identical or nearly identical to other
comments.
In the July 11, 2023 Federal Register
(88 FR 44078), we published a proposed
rule titled ‘‘Medicare Program; Hospital
Outpatient Prospective Payment
System: Remedy for the 340B-Acquired
Drug Payment Policy for Calendar Years
2018–2022.’’ The proposed rule
announced a comment period ending on
September 11, 2023.
Subsequently, a correction was
published in the July 14, 2023 Federal
Register (88 FR 45126), which changed
the comment period end date from
‘‘September 11, 2023’’ to ‘‘September 5,
2023’’. This change was made because
September 5, 2023, was the correct
comment period end date based on the
comment period ending 60 days after
the initial display date (July 7, 2023) of
the proposed rule.
However, we subsequently became
aware of public confusion over the end
date of the comment period. In order to
eliminate this confusion and maximize
the opportunity for the public to
provide meaningful input to CMS, we
believe it is important to allow
additional time for the public to prepare
comments on the July 2023 proposed
rule. Therefore, we are extending the
comment period for the proposed rule
by 6 days. This document announces
the extension of the public comment
period for the proposed rule, which will
now end at 5 p.m., Eastern Daylight
Time, on September 11, 2023.

Television Broadcasting Services Des

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking (Petition) filed
by Iowa Public Broadcasting Board
(Petitioner or IPB), the licensee of
noncommercial educational television
PBS member station KDIN–TV (KDIN–
TV or Station), channel *11, Des
Moines, Iowa. The Petitioner requests
the substitution of channel *34 in place
of channel *11 at Des Moines, Iowa in
the Table of TV Allotments, and
requests that we delete vacant channel
*34, Ames, Iowa and substitute it with
the allotment of vacant channel *21 to
Ames, Iowa.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before October 5, 2023 and reply
comments on or before October 20,
2023.
SUMMARY:
Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45
L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the
FCC, interested parties should serve
counsel for the Petitioner as follows:
Derek Teslik, Gray Miller Persh LLP,
2233 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 226,
Washington, DC 20007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Emily Harrison, Media Bureau, at (202)
418–1665; or Emily Harrison, Media
Bureau, at Emily.Harrison@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
support, the Petitioner asserts that
allowing the Station to move from a
VHF to a UHF channel would serve the
public interest by resolving viewer
reception challenges and significantly
improving the Station’s over-the-airservice to the viewers in its existing
service area. Petitioner includes with its
Petition a number of viewer complaints
highlighting current reception problems.

Petitioner states that the Commission
has recognized that VHF channels pose
challenges for their use in providing
digital television service, including
propagation characteristics that allow
undesired signals and noise to be
receivable at relatively far distances and
large variability in the performance of
indoor antennas available to viewers,
with most antennas performing very
poorly on high VHF channels. An
engineering statement provided by the
Petitioner confirms that the proposed
channel *34 contour would provide full
principal community coverage to Des
Moines, Iowa. The proposed move from
channel *11 to channel *34 is also not
predicted to create a loss of service to
any viewers and according to the
engineering statement will actually
increase the area covered while serving
the population with higher signal levels.
Petitioner acknowledges that the
proposed channel substitution would
not meet the distance separation
requirements regarding the vacant
channel *34 allotment at Ames, Iowa.
As a result, Petitioner requests that
simultaneously with the substitution of
channel *34 at Des Moines, Iowa, we
delete the vacant channel *34 allotment
at Ames, Iowa and substitute it with the
allotment of vacant channel *21 to
Ames, Iowa. As stated in its
supplemental engineering statement, the
proposed channel *21 is described as
meeting the distance criteria found in
section 73.623(d) of the Commission’s
rules, and an analysis using the
Commission’s TVStudy software is
provided showing no interference to any
other station or allotment.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 23–296;
RM–11964; DA 23–774, adopted August
29, 2023, and released August 29, 2023.

In the July 11, 2023 Federal Register (88 FR 44078), we published a
proposed rule titled ``Medicare Program; Hospital Outpatient
Prospective Payment System: Remedy for the 340B-Acquired Drug Payment
Policy for Calendar Years 2018-2022.'' The proposed rule announced a
comment period ending on September 11, 2023.
Subsequently, a correction was published in the July 14, 2023
Federal Register (88 FR 45126), which changed the comment period end
date from ``September 11, 2023'' to ``September 5, 2023''. This change
was made because September 5, 2023, was the correct comment period end
date based on the comment period ending 60 days after the initial
display date (July 7, 2023) of the proposed rule.
However, we subsequently became aware of public confusion over the
end date of the comment period. In order to eliminate this confusion
and maximize the opportunity for the public to provide meaningful input
to CMS, we believe it is important to allow additional time for the
public to prepare comments on the July 2023 proposed rule. Therefore,
we are extending the comment period for the proposed rule by 6 days.

the proposed rule, which will now end at 5 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time,
