SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Instructions: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OLEM–2023–0320, at https://

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), or the other methods 

identified in the ADDRESSES section. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from the docket. The 

EPA may publish any comment received 

to its public docket. Do not submit to 

EPA’s docket at https://

www.regulations.gov any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI), Proprietary 

Business Information (PBI), or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. The EPA will generally not 

consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or 

other file sharing system). Please visit

commenting-epa-dockets for additional 

submission methods; the full EPA 

public comment policy; information 

about CBI, PBI, or multimedia 

submissions; and general guidance on 

making effective comments. 

Summary: On August 11, 2023, the 

EPA published the Used Drum 

Management and Reconditioning 

Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking to solicit information and 

request comments to assist in the 

potential development of non-regulatory 

and regulatory options that would 

ensure the proper management of used 

industrial containers that held 

hazardous chemicals or hazardous 

waste, up to and including the drum 

reconditioning process. Options could 

include revising the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

regulations or other, non-regulatory 

options. This ANPRM does not propose 

any regulatory requirements or change 

any existing regulatory requirements. 

The ANPRM’s comment period was 

scheduled to end on September 25, 

2023. Since publication, EPA has 

received several requests to extend that 

comment period to allow for additional 

time to develop comments on the 

ANPRM. After considering the requests 

for additional time, the EPA has decided 

to extend the comment period through 

November 22, 2023. 

Dated: August 23, 2023.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and 

Recovery.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Inspection of Public Comments: All 

comments received before the close of 

the comment period are available for 

viewing by the public, including any 

personally identifiable or confidential 

business information that is included in 

a comment. We post all comments 

received before the close of the 

comment period on the following 

website as soon as possible after they 

have been received: https://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the search 

instructions on that website to view 

public comments. CMS will not post on 

Regulations.gov public comments that 

make threats to individuals or 

institutions or suggest that the 

individual will take actions to harm the 

individual. CMS continues to encourage 

individuals not to submit duplicative 

comments. We will post acceptable 

comments from multiple unique 

commenters even if the content is 

identical or nearly identical to other 

comments. 

In the July 11, 2023 Federal Register 

(88 FR 44078), we published a proposed 

rule titled ‘‘Medicare Program; Hospital 

Outpatient Prospective Payment 

System: Remedy for the 340B-Acquired 

Drug Payment Policy for Calendar Years 

2018–2022.’’ The proposed rule 

announced a comment period ending on 

September 11, 2023. 

Subsequently, a correction was 

published in the July 14, 2023 Federal 

Register (88 FR 45126), which changed 

the comment period end date from 

‘‘September 11, 2023’’ to ‘‘September 5, 

2023’’. This change was made because 

September 5, 2023, was the correct 

comment period end date based on the 

comment period ending 60 days after 

the initial display date (July 7, 2023) of 

the proposed rule. 

However, we subsequently became 

aware of public confusion over the end 

date of the comment period. In order to 

eliminate this confusion and maximize 

the opportunity for the public to 

provide meaningful input to CMS, we 

believe it is important to allow 

additional time for the public to prepare 

comments on the July 2023 proposed 

rule. Therefore, we are extending the 

comment period for the proposed rule 

by 6 days. This document announces 

the extension of the public comment 

period for the proposed rule, which will 

now end at 5 p.m., Eastern Daylight 

Time, on September 11, 2023. 

The Administrator of the Centers for 

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS),

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 73 

[MB Docket No. 23–296; RM–11964; DA 23– 

774; FR ID 168460] 

Television Broadcasting Services Des 

Moines, Iowa 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it 

a petition for rulemaking (Petition) filed 

by Iowa Public Broadcasting Board 

(Petitioner or IPB), the licensee of 

noncommercial educational television 

PBS member station KDIN–TV (KDIN– 

TV or Station), channel *11, Des 

Moines, Iowa. The Petitioner requests 

the substitution of channel *34 in place 

of channel *11 at Des Moines, Iowa in 

the Table of TV Allotments, and 

requests that we delete vacant channel 

*34, Ames, Iowa and substitute it with 

the allotment of vacant channel *21 to 

Ames, Iowa. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before October 5, 2023 and reply 

comments on or before October 20, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications 

Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45 

L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In 

addition to filing comments with the 

FCC, interested parties should serve 

counsel for the Petitioner as follows: 

Derek Teslik, Gray Miller Persh LLP, 

2233 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 226, 

Washington, DC 20007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Emily Harrison, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1665; or Emily Harrison, Media 

Bureau, at Emily.Harrison@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

support, the Petitioner asserts that 

allowing the Station to move from a 

VHF to a UHF channel would serve the 

public interest by resolving viewer 

reception challenges and significantly 

improving the Station’s over-the-airservice to the viewers in its existing 

service area. Petitioner includes with its 

Petition a number of viewer complaints 

highlighting current reception problems. 

Petitioner states that the Commission 

has recognized that VHF channels pose 

challenges for their use in providing 

digital television service, including 

propagation characteristics that allow 

undesired signals and noise to be 

receivable at relatively far distances and 

large variability in the performance of 

indoor antennas available to viewers, 

with most antennas performing very 

poorly on high VHF channels. An 

engineering statement provided by the 

Petitioner confirms that the proposed 

channel *34 contour would provide full 

principal community coverage to Des 

Moines, Iowa. The proposed move from 

channel *11 to channel *34 is also not 

predicted to create a loss of service to 

any viewers and according to the 

engineering statement will actually 

increase the area covered while serving 

the population with higher signal levels. 

Petitioner acknowledges that the 

proposed channel substitution would 

not meet the distance separation 

requirements regarding the vacant 

channel *34 allotment at Ames, Iowa. 

As a result, Petitioner requests that 

simultaneously with the substitution of 

channel *34 at Des Moines, Iowa, we 

delete the vacant channel *34 allotment 

at Ames, Iowa and substitute it with the 

allotment of vacant channel *21 to 

Ames, Iowa. As stated in its 

supplemental engineering statement, the 

proposed channel *21 is described as 

meeting the distance criteria found in 

section 73.623(d) of the Commission’s 

rules, and an analysis using the 

Commission’s TVStudy software is 

provided showing no interference to any 

other station or allotment. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 23–296; 

RM–11964; DA 23–774, adopted August 

29, 2023, and released August 29, 2023.

This document does not contain 

information collection requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition, 

therefore, it does not contain any 

proposed information collection burden 

‘‘for small business concerns with fewer 

than 25 employees,’’ pursuant to the 

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 

2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4). Provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601– 

612, do not apply to this proceeding. 

Members of the public should note 

that all ex parte contacts are prohibited 

from the time a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking is issued to the time the 

matter is no longer subject to 

Commission consideration or court 

review, see 47 CFR 1.1208. There are, 

however, exceptions to this prohibition, 

which can be found in Section 1.1204(a) 

of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

1.1204(a). 

See Sections 1.415 and 1.420 of the 

Commission’s rules for information
