AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (‘‘EPA’’).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA is providing notice of a

proposed administrative penalty

assessment for alleged violations of the

Clean Water Act (‘‘Act’’). EPA is also

providing notice of opportunity to

comment on the proposed assessment.

EPA is authorized under section

309(g) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1319(g), to

assess a civil penalty after providing the

person subject to the penalty notice of

the proposed penalty and the

opportunity for a hearing, and after

providing interested persons notice of

the proposed penalty and a reasonable

opportunity to comment on its issuance.

Under section 309(g), any person who

without authorization discharges a

pollutant to a navigable water, as those

terms are defined in section 502 of the

Act, 33 U.S.C. 1362, may be assessed a

penalty in a ‘‘Class II’’ administrative

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[FCC 00–105]

Maritime Communications

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Commission extends

forbearance from the Communications

Act of 1934, as amended, requirement

which forbids the assignment of a radio

license or transfer of control of a radio

licensee corporation without obtaining

prior Commission consent to Public

Coast Stations that are licensed and

regulated under the Commission’s Rules

because these stations provide

telecommunications for a fee directly to

the public.

and Rules Branch, Public Safety and

Telecommunications Bureau at (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a

summary of the Commission’s

Memorandum Opinion and Order, WT

Docket No. 00–48, FCC 00–105, adopted

March 17, 2000, and released on March

24, 2000. The full text of this

Memorandum Opinion and Order is

In this Memorandum Opinion and

Order, the Commission refers to Section

310(d) of the Communications Act,

which forbids the assignment of a radio

license or transfer of control of a radio

licensee corporation without obtaining

prior Commission consent. On February

4, 1998, the Commission held that there

was sufficient justification in the record

to forbear from enforcing the

requirements of Section 310(d) of the

Communications Act as they apply to

all telecommunications carriers licensed

by the Wireless Telecommunications

Bureau (Bureau). However, as noted by

WJG MariTEL Corporation (MariTEL),

when the Commission listed the

categories of telecommunications

carriers who were licensed by the

Bureau, it did not include

telecommunications carriers licensed

and regulated under Part 80 of the

Commission’s Rules. Under the

Commission’s Rules, licenses in the

Maritime (ship) Radio Services may not

be assigned. Therefore, Maritime (ship)

Radio Services licenses are not subject

to Section 310(d) of the

Communications Act. On the other

hand, Public Coast Stations, which are

located on land, may be assigned under

the Commission’s Rules. Accordingly,

the Commission will grant MariTEL’s

request and will extend forbearance

from the requirements of Section 310(d)

of the Communications Act for pro

forma applications to

telecommunications carriers licensed

and regulated under Part 80 of the

Commission’s Rules because these

carriers provide telecommunications for

a fee directly to the public.
