Assessment, ROD, Proposed Plan and 

Five-Year Reviews. 

Determination That the Site Meets the 

Criteria for Deletion in the NCP 

EPA has determined that this Site 

poses no significant threat to public 

health or the environment because the 

landfill has been capped, removing 

direct contact exposure (i.e., ingestion 

or dermal contact of soil) to the public. 

In addition, the Municipality of 

Barceloneta put in place deed 

restrictions for future land use and 

groundwater extraction. The potential 

impacts to the groundwater have been 

addressed and groundwater monitoring 

indicates MCLs are being met at the 

landfill unit boundary. Groundwater 

monitoring will continue to ensure 

groundwater protection continues to be 

achieved. 

V. Deletion Action 

The EPA, with concurrence of the 

Puerto Rico Environmental Quality 

Board, has determined that all 

appropriate response actions under 

CERCLA, other than operation, 

maintenance, monitoring and five-year 

reviews have been completed. 

Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from 

the NPL. 

Because EPA considers this action to 

be noncontroversial and routine, EPA is 

taking it without prior publication. This 

action will be effective October 3, 2011 

unless EPA receives adverse comments 

by September 19, 2011. If adverse 

comments are received within the 30- 

day public comment period, EPA will 

publish a timely withdrawal of this 

direct final notice of deletion before the 

effective date of the deletion, and it will 

not take effect. EPA will prepare a 

response to comments and continue 

with the deletion process on the basis of 

the notice of intent to delete and the 

comments already received. There will 

be no additional opportunity to 

comment.

[PS Docket No. 06–229; WT Docket 06–150; 

WP Docket 07–100; FCC 11–6] 

Implementing a Nationwide, 

Broadband, Interoperable Public 

Safety Network in the 700 MHz Band 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission adopts an initial set of 

rules necessary to ensure the 

development of a nationwide 

interoperable public safety broadband 

network. The establishment of a 

common air interface for 700 MHz 

public safety broadband networks will 

create a foundation for interoperability 

and provide a clear path for the 

deployment and evolution of the 

nationwide network. 

DATES: Effective: August 18, 2011, 

except § 90.1407(f) which contains 

information collections requirements 

that have not been approved by OMB. 

The Federal Communications 

Commission will publish a document in 

the Federal Register announcing the 

effective date. The incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed 

in the rules is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of August 18, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Third Report and Order, FCC 11–6, 

adopted January 25, 2011, and released 

January 26, 2011, the Commission 

adopted rules to promote development 

of a nationwide interoperable public 

safety broadband network. The 

Commission designated Long Term 

Evolution (LTE), in particular at least 

3GPP Standard, Evolved Universal 

Terrestrial Radio Access (E–UTRA) 

Release 8 (LTE) and associated Evolved 

Packet Core (EPC), as the common 

technology platform for the nationwide 

network. The Commission also required 

that public safety broadband network 

operators submit to the Public Safety 

and Homeland Security Bureau a 

certification that their networks support 

required LTE interfaces. The 

Commission also stayed certain Part 90 

rules that were designed to implement 

a mandatory public-private partnership 

that has not materialized. These rules 

include 47 CFR 90.1403(b)(1), (2), (3), 

(5), (8); 90.1405 through 90.1430; and 

90.1435. The Third Report and Order is 

available at http://www.fcc.gov/ 

Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2011/ 

db0204/FCC–11–6A1.pdf. 

As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, the Commission certifies 

that the requirements of the Third 

Report and Order will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The Third Report and Order contains 

new or modified information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public 

Law 104–13. It will be submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review under Section 3507(d) 

of the PRA. OMB, the general public, 

and other Federal agencies are invited to 

comment on the new or modified 

information collection requirements 

contained in this proceeding. The 

Commission shall send a copy of the 

Third Report and Order in a report to be 

sent to Congress and the Government 

Accountability Office pursuant to the 

Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 

801(a)(1)(A).

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and 

Butterfish Fisheries; Closure of the 

2011 Trimester 2 Directed Loligo Squid 

Fishery 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that 90 

percent of the Trimester 2 Loligo squid 

(Loligo) quota is projected to be 

harvested by 0001 hours, August 23, 

2011. Therefore, the directed Loligo 

fishery in the Exclusive Economic Zone 

(EEZ) will be closed as of 0001 hours, 

August 23, 2011, and vessels issued a 

Federal permit are prohibited from 

possessing or landing more than 2,500 

lb (1.13 mt) of Loligo for the remainder 

of Trimester 2 (through August 31, 

2011). The directed Loligo fishery will 

re-open for Trimester 3 on September 1, 

2011. This action is necessary to prevent 

the fishery from exceeding its Trimester 

2 allocation of 11,190,664 lb (5,076 mt), 

and to allow for effective management 

of this stock. 

DATES: Effective 0001 hours, August 23, 

2011, through 2400 hours, August 31, 

2011.
