Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 9, 2013 / Proposed Rules 41013 

1See letter dated June 20, 2013 from Kelly J. Barr, 

SRP, to Jared Blumenfeld, EPA, re: Request for 

Extension of the Public Comment Period, Proposed 

Rule—Regional Haze Requirements for Navajo 

Generating Station Docket No. EPA–R09–OAR– 

2013–0009. 

and its effects on visibility in Class I 

areas. 

On February 5, 2013, EPA proposed a 

BART determination to require NGS to 

achieve a nearly 80 percent reduction of 

its current overall NOX emission rate. 

EPA also proposed an alternative to 

BART that would provide flexibility to 

NGS in the schedule for the installation 

of new post-combustion control 

equipment. EPA’s proposed alternative 

to BART credits NGS for its early and 

voluntary installation of new 

combustion controls to reduce NOX

emissions beginning in 2009. EPA, 

therefore, proposed to find that this 

alternative achieves greater reasonable 

progress than BART. 

In recognition that there may be other 

approaches that could result in 

equivalent or better visibility benefits 

than BART, as well as the singular 

importance of NGS to the Navajo 

Nation, Hopi Tribe, the Gila River 

Indian Community, and numerous other 

tribes located in Arizona, EPA also 

outlined a framework for evaluating 

other alternatives to provide greater 

flexibility than EPA’s proposed 

alternative to BART. 

EPA encouraged a robust public 

discussion of our proposed BART 

determination and alternative, as well as 

other possible alternatives, and 

recognized the potential need for a 

supplemental proposal if other 

approaches developed by other parties 

are identified as meeting the needs of 

stakeholders and meeting the 

requirements of the CAA. 

EPA received requests for a 90-day 

extension of the public comment period 

from the Navajo Nation, the Gila River 

Indian Community, and other 

stakeholders, in order to allow 

stakeholders time to develop 

alternatives to BART for EPA’s 

consideration. On March 19, 2013, EPA 

extended the close of the public 

comment period to August 5, 2013 (78 

FR 16825). EPA recognized that the 

stakeholder process, to develop viable 

alternatives to BART that provide 

additional flexibility to the owners of 

NGS while achieving more emission 

reductions to assure greater reasonable 

progress than BART, would require a 

significant amount of time. EPA also 

recognized the critical importance of 

active participation by affected tribes 

located in Arizona in the development 

of alternatives to BART. 

On June 10, 2013, EPA signed a 

notice, published on June 19, 2013, of 

our intent to hold five public hearings 

throughout the state of Arizona (78 FR 

36716). EPA intends to hold hearings at 

one location each on reservation lands 

of the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe, 

and in Page, Phoenix, and Tucson, 

Arizona. 

On June 20, 2013, SRP submitted a 

letter, on behalf of six stakeholders, 

requesting another extension of the 

comment period for NGS.1 SRP 

describes working over the past several 

months with representatives from the 

Central Arizona Water Conservation 

District, the Environmental Defense 

Fund, the Gila River Indian Community, 

the Navajo Nation Environmental 

Protection Agency, and the U.S. 

Department of the Interior to develop a 

BART alternative. SRP states that 

although significant progress has been 

made on the development of an 

alternative, additional time is needed to 

finalize their alternative and submit it to 

EPA for consideration in the rulemaking 

process. 

II. Today’s Action 

In today’s action, EPA is extending 

the comment period for our proposed 

BART determination for NGS by 60 

days, to October 4, 2013. EPA is 

granting a 60-day extension to allow 

time for the stakeholders to finalize 

their alternative and submit it to EPA 

for consideration in the rulemaking 

process.

Summary 

1. In the Public Notice, the Media 

Bureau seeks comment on the impact of 

the rules adopted by the Commission in 

the Second Report and Order in MM 

Docket Nos. 00–168 and 00–44,1

requiring broadcast television stations to 

post their political files online. We seek 

comment also on the Petition for 

Reconsideration of the Second Report 

and Order filed by the Television 

Station Group.2

2. Background. In the Second Report 

and Order, the Commission required 

stations to post their public files online 

in a Commission-hosted database rather 

than maintaining the files locally at 

their main studios. With respect to 

political file documents that must be 

maintained in the public file, the 

Commission required stations that are 

affiliated with the top four national 

networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox) 

and that are licensed to serve 

communities in the top 50 Designated 

Market Areas (‘‘DMAs’’) to post these 

documents online as part of the online 

public file, but exempted all other 

stations from posting their political file 

documents to their online public file 

until July 1, 2014.3 The Commission 

stated that, by July 1, 2013, the Media 

Bureau would issue a Public Notice 

seeking comment on the impact of this 

online posting requirement for the 

political file so that the Commission can 

consider whether any changes should be 

made to the requirement before it takes 

effect for other stations.4 The Media 

Bureau is issuing this Public Notice 

consistent with the Commission’s 

commitment in the Second Report and 

Order. 

3. The online public file requirement 

adopted in the Second Report and Order 

replaced the decades-old requirement 

that commercial and noncommercial 

television stations maintain public files 

at their main studios with a requirement 

to post most of the documents in those 

files to a central, online public file 

hosted by the Commission. The 

Commission’s goals were to modernize 

the procedures television broadcasters 

use to inform the public about how they 

are serving their communities, make 

information concerning broadcast 

service more accessible to the public, 

and reduce broadcasters’ cost of 

compliance. The political file 

component of the public inspection file 

provides information about requests by 

political candidates and other political 

advertisers to purchase television 

advertising time, including the station’s 

disposition of each request and the rate 

charged for the broadcast time. 

4. Stations were required to upload 

new public file documents to the online 

database starting August 2, 2012.5

Stations were given six months from 

this date to upload documents that were 

already in their public inspection file.6
