Notice of Data Availability Concerning 

Renewable Fuels Produced from Palm 

Oil Under the RFS Program; Extension 

of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing 

an extension in the public comment 

period for the ‘‘Notice of Data 

Availability Concerning Renewable 

Fuels Produced from Palm Oil under the 

RFS Program’’ (the notice is herein 

referred to as the ‘‘palm oil NODA’’). 

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. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 27, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Information Collection(s) Being 

Submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for Emergency 

Review and Approval 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required b y the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3502– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

Comments are requested concerning: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (e) ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden on small business 

concerns with fewer than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before April 17, 2012. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments 

to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), via fax 

at 202–395–5167 or via Internet at 

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and 

to Judith B. Herman, Federal 

Communications Commission, via the 

Internet at Judith-b.herman@fcc.gov. To

Director, FCC, at 202–418–0214. 

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.

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
