EPA published a NODA, which included a request for comment, in the Federal Register on January 27, 2012 (77 FR 4300). The public comment period was to end on February 27, 2012—30 days after publication in the Federal Register . On February 14, 2012, EPA published a notice extending the comment period by 30 days until March 28, 2012. The purpose of this document is to extend the comment period an additional 30 days until April 27, 2012. This extension of the comment period is provided to allow the public additional time to provide comment on the NODA.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

In a separate notice of data availability, EPA provided an opportunity to comment on EPA’s analyses of palm oil used as a feedstock to produce biodiesel and renewable diesel under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. EPA’s analysis of palm oil-based biofuels is a supplement to the final rule published on March 26, 2010, which made changes to the RFS program (75 FR 14670). EPA’s analysis of the two types of biofuel shows that biodiesel and renewable diesel produced from palm oil have estimated lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions of 17% and 11% respectively for these biofuels compared to the statutory baseline petroleum-based diesel fuel used in the


### 19664 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 63 / Monday, April 2, 2012 / Notices

RFS program. This analysis indicates that both palm oil-based biofuels would not qualify as meeting the minimum 20% GHG performance threshold for renewable fuel under the RFS program. On February 14, 2012, EPA published a notice extending the comment period by 30 days until March 28, 2012 to provide the public additional time to comment on the NODA.

Extension of Comment Period

EPA received requests for an additional extension of the palm oil NODA comment period from various parties. After considering all of these comments, EPA has determined that an extension of the comment period would provide the public adequate time to provide meaningful comment on the NODA. However, this need must be balanced against our desire to finalize our analysis in a timely manner. EPA believes that an additional 30 days is an appropriate amount of time to balance these needs. Accordingly, the public comment period for the palm oil NODA is extended until April 27, 2012. EPA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment period at this time.

Dated: March 27, 2012. Margo Tsirigotis Oge, Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Commission is requesting emergency OMB processing of the new information collection requirements contained in this notice. The Commission is requesting OMB approval by April 16,
2012.

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX. Title: Part 11—Emergency Alert System (EAS), Fifth Report and Order, FCC 12–7.

Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: New collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 10 respondents; 10 responses.

Estimated Time Per Response: 20 hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and recordkeeping requirement.

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. Sections 154(i) and 606 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

Total Annual Burden: 200 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality.

Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this new information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during this 15 day comment period in order to obtain emergency approval from them. The Commission is requesting emergency OMB approval for this new information collection and assignment of an OMB control number. Part 11 contains rules and regulations addressing the nation’s Emergency Alert System (EAS). The EAS provides the President with the capability to provide immediate communications and information to the general public at the national, state and local area level during periods of national emergency. The EAS also provides state and local governments and the National Weather Service with the capability to provide immediate communications and information to the general public concerning emergency situations posting a threat to life and property. For this new collection, the Commission is requesting emergency OMB review and processing for the reporting and recordkeeping requirements in the Fifth Report and Order, FCC 12–7. The Commission amended its Part 11 rules governing the EAS to more fully codify the existing obligation to process Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)-formatted alert messages adopted in the Second Report and Order.

Certification procedures for meeting general certification requirements are under 47 CFR 11.34. Paragraphs 164– 167, 107–171, and 175–176 in the Fifth Report and Order, establish that integrated CAP-capable EAS devices and intermediate devices that are used in tandem with legacy EAS equipment are subject to the Commission’s existing device certification requirements set forth in the Commission’s Part 2 equipment authorization rules. These paragraphs also establish specific procedures by which EAS device manufacturers can update existing device certifications and obtain new certifications, which generally involve the submission of test data and other materials to the FCC.

The information collected by the Commission is used to confirm that EAS devices comply with the technical and performance requirements set forth in the EAS rules and other applicable rules maintained by the Commission. These rules are designed to minimize electrical
