requirements related to the implementation of Section 303(d) of the CWA (40 CFR 130.7). The regulations require states to identify water quality limited waters still requiring TMDLs every two years. The lists of waters still needing TMDLs must also include priority rankings, identify the pollutants causing the impairment, and identify the waters targeted for TMDL development during the next two years (40 CFR 130.7).

Consistent with EPA’s regulations, New York submitted its listing decisions under Section 303(d)(2) to EPA in correspondence dated March 30, 2012 and July 25, 2012. On August 16, 2012, EPA partially approved New York’s submittal of the 303(d) list, and disapproved New York’s decision to exclude Lower Esopus Creek from the 2012 list. EPA is soliciting public comment on the addition of this water to the State’s list, as required by 40 CFR 130.7(d)(2).

**FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION** 

**[MB Docket No. 12–230; DA 12–1347]**

**Media Bureau Seeks Comment on TiVo’s Request for Clarification and**  **Waiver of the Commission’s Audiovisual Output Requirement** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Communications Commission.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  In this document, the Media Bureau seeks comment on a petition for waiver and clarification of the Commission’s rules filed by TiVo Inc. These comments are necessary to help the Media Bureau decide whether to grant TiVo’s request. The intended effect of this action is to release an order that either grants or denies TiVo’s request.

**DATES :**  Submit comments on or before September 21, 2012. Submit reply comments on or before October 1, 2012.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  For additional information on this proceeding, contact Brendan Murray, Brendan.Murray@fcc.gov, of the Media Bureau, Policy Division, (202) 418–
2120.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  TiVo Inc. (‘‘TiVo’’) has filed a request pursuant to Sections 1.3, 76.7, and 76.1207 of the Commission’s rules for waiver of part of Section 76.640(b)(4)(iii) of the Commission’s rules. Section 76.640(b)(4)(iii) requires cable operatorsto ‘‘ensure that the cable-operatorprovided high definition set-top boxes, except unidirectional set-top boxes without recording functionality, shall comply with an open industry standard that provides for audiovisual communications including service discovery, video transport, and remote control command pass-through standards for home networking’’ by December 1, 2012. This rule is designed to ensure that consumers will be able to connect consumer electronics devices that they own to set-top boxes that they lease from their cable operators for whole-home viewing and recording. TiVo also asks the Commission to clarify the meaning of the phrase ‘‘open industry standard’’ in the rule. TiVo seeks a waiver of 76.640(b)(4)(iii) for TiVo boxes that cable operators lease to subscribers. TiVo requests that this waiver last until 12 months after cable operators have deployed at least 100,000 Cisco set-top boxes and 100,000 Motorola set-top boxes that include an output that complies with Section 76.640(b)(4)(iii). TiVo maintains that waiver of ‘‘an open standard’’ implementation for cable operators with respect to TiVo boxes that cable operators lease to subscribers would cause no harm to interested parties and will benefit consumers. We seek comment on TiVo’s request. Authority for this action is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 549, and 47 CFR 0.283, 1.3, and 76.7(b)(1).

This proceeding will be treated as ‘‘permit but disclose’’ for purposes of the Commission’s ex parte rules. As a result of the permit-but-disclose status of this proceeding, ex parte presentations will be governed by the procedures set forth in Section 1.1206 of the Commission’s rules applicable to non-restricted proceedings.

Comments and oppositions are due September 21, 2012. Petitioner’s reply is due October 1, 2012. All filings must be submitted in MB Docket No. 12–230. Pleadings sent via email to the Commission will be considered informal and will not be part of the official record. Interested parties will have access to comments online through the Commission’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS), and therefore we waive the requirements of Sections 76.7(b)(1) and 76.7(c)(1) that comments and oppositions be served on interested parties.

Comments may be filed using: (1) (ECFS), (2) the Federal Government’s eRulemaking Portal, or (3) by filing paper copies.
