Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 139 / Monday, July 21, 2014 / Proposed Rules 42275 

impose any additional regulatory 

requirements on sources beyond those 

imposed by State law. Redesignation to 

attainment does not in and of itself 

create any new requirements, but rather 

results in the applicability of 

requirements contained in the CAA for 

areas that have been redesignated to 

attainment. Moreover, the Administrator 

is required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve State choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, these 

actions merely propose to approve a 

State plan and redesignation request as 

meeting Federal requirements and do 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those by State law. For these 

reasons, these proposed actions: 

• Are not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 

13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011); 

• Do not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Are certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Do not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Do not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Are not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Are not a significant regulatory 

action subject to Executive Order 13211 

(66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Are not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Do not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, and legally permissible 

methods under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed rule does 

not have Tribal implications as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because 

the SIP is not approved to apply in 

Indian country located in the State, and 

EPA notes that it will not impose 

substantial direct costs on Tribal 

governments or preempt Tribal law. 

Nonetheless, EPA has discussed the 

proposed action with the one Tribe, the 

Las Vegas Paiute Tribe, located within 

the Las Vegas Valley PM10

nonattainment area.

Agency is announcing an extension of 

the public comment period for the 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

requesting public comment and 

information on revisions to the EPA’s 

‘‘National Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Operating Mill 

Tailings’’. The EPA published the 

NPRM on May 2, 2014 in the Federal 

Register, which included a request for 

comments on or before July 31, 2014. 

The purpose of this action is to extend 

the public comment period an 

additional 90 days. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed rule published on May 2, 2014 

(79 FR 25388) must be received on or 

before October 29, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2008–0218, by one of the 

following methods: 

• www.regulations.gov: Follow the 

on-line instructions for submitting 

comments. 

• Email: a-and-r-docket@epa.gov.

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov your email 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment.

Wireline Competition Bureau 

Announces Posting of Broadband Data 

From Urban Rate Survey and Seeks 

Comment on Calculation of 

Reasonable Comparability Benchmark 

for Broadband Services 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) 

announces the posting of the fixed 

broadband services data collected in the 

2013 urban rate survey, and explanatory 

notes regarding the data, on the 

Commission’s Web site. The Bureau also 

proposes a specific methodology for 

calculating the reasonable comparability 

benchmark for fixed broadband services 

which would result in a broadband 

benchmark that ranges from $68.48 to 

$71.84 for services meeting the current 

broadband performance standard of 4 

Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream, 

with the specific benchmark depending 

on the associated usage allowance. 

DATES: Comments are due on or before 

August 20, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file 

comments on or before August 20, 2014. 

All pleadings are to reference WC

fixed broadband services data collected 

in the 2013 urban rate survey, and 

explanatory notes regarding the data, on 

the Commission’s Web site at http://

www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/urban-ratesurvey-data. The Bureau (Bureau) also 

proposes a specific methodology for 

calculating the reasonable comparability 

benchmark for fixed broadband services. 

In the USF/ICC Transformation Order, 

the Commission required that as a 

condition of receiving Connect America 

Fund support, recipients must offer 

voice and broadband services in 

supported areas at rates that are 

reasonably comparable to rates for 

similar services in urban areas. The 

methodology proposed here would 

result in a broadband benchmark that 

ranges from $68.48 to $71.84 for 

services meeting the current broadband 

performance standard of 4 Mbps 

downstream/1 Mbps upstream, with the 

specific benchmark depending on the 

associated usage allowance.
