small governmental jurisdictions. This

rule would not have a significant impact

on a substantial number of small entities

because it only affects one entity, the

Molex facility in Lincoln, NE. Therefore,

EPA certifies that this action will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

This action applies only to one

company, and therefore requires no

information collection activities subject

to the Paperwork Reduction Act, and

therefore no information collection

request (ICR) will be submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review in compliance with

the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public

Law 104–4, establishes requirements for

Federal agencies to assess the effects of

their regulatory actions on State, local,

and tribal governments and the private

sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA,

EPA generally must prepare a written

statement, including a cost-benefit

analysis, for proposed and final rules

with ‘‘Federal mandates’’ that may

result in expenditures to State, local,

and tribal governments, in the aggregate,

or to the private sector, of $100 million

or more in any one year. Before

promulgating an EPA rule for which a

written statement is needed, section 205

of the UMRA generally requires EPA to

identify and consider a reasonable

number of regulatory alternatives and

adopt the least costly, most costeffective or least burdensome alternative

that achieves the objectives of the rule.

The provisions of section 205 do not

apply when they are inconsistent with

applicable law. Moreover, section 205

allows EPA to adopt an alternative other

than the least costly, most cost-effective

or least burdensome alternative if the

Administrator publishes with the final

rule an explanation why that alternative

was not adopted. Before EPA establishes

any regulatory requirements that may

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments, including tribal

governments, it must have developed

under section 203 of the UMRA a small

government agency plan. The plan must

provide for notifying potentially

affected small governments, enabling

officials of affected small governments

to have meaningful and timely input in

the development of EPA regulatory

proposals with significant Federal

intergovernmental mandates, and

informing, educating, and advising

small governments on compliance with

the regulatory requirements.

As noted above, this rule is limited to

Molex’s facility in Lincoln, NE. EPA has

determined that this rule contains no

regulatory requirements that might

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments. EPA has also determined

that this rule does not contain a Federal

mandate that may result in expenditures

of $100 million or more for State, local,

and tribal governments, in the aggregate,

or the private sector in any one year.

Thus, today’s rule is not subject to the

requirements of sections 202 and 205 of

the UMRA.

For the reasons set forth in the

preamble of this rule, chapter I of title

40 of the Code of Federal Regulations is

amended as follows:

1. The authority citation for part 260

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6905, 6912(a), 6921–

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket No. FEMA–7673]

List of Communities Eligible for the

Sale of Flood Insurance

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule identifies

communities participating in the

National Flood Insurance Program

(NFIP). These communities have

applied to the program and have agreed

to enact certain floodplain management

measures. The communities’

participation in the program authorizes

the sale of flood insurance to owners of

property located in the communities

listed.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The dates listed in the

third column of the table.

ADDRESSES: Flood insurance policies for

property located in the communities

listed can be obtained from any licensed

property insurance agent or broker

serving the eligible community, or from

the NFIP at: Post Office Box 6464,

Rockville, MD 20849, (800) 638–6620.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert F. Shea, Jr., Division Director,

Program Implementation Division,

Mitigation Directorate, 500 C Street SW.,

room 417, Washington, DC 20472, (202)

646–3619.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP

enables property owners to purchase

flood insurance which is generally not

otherwise available. In return,

communities agree to adopt and

administer local floodplain management

measures aimed at protecting lives and

new construction from future flooding.

Since the communities on the attached

list have recently entered the NFIP,

subsidized flood insurance is now

available for property in the community.

In addition, the Associate Director of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency has identified the special flood

hazard areas in some of these

communities by publishing a Flood

Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) or Flood

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The date of

the flood map, if one has been

published, is indicated in the fourth

column of the table. In the communities

listed where a flood map has been

published, Section 102 of the Flood

Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as

amended, 42 U.S.C. 4012(a), requires

the purchase of flood insurance as a

condition of Federal or federally related

financial assistance for acquisition or

construction of buildings in the special

flood hazard areas shown on the map.

The Associate Director finds that the

delayed effective dates would be

contrary to the public interest. The

Associate Director also finds that notice

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C.

553(b) are impracticable and

unnecessary.

additional burden, but lists those

communities eligible for the sale of

flood insurance.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission has adopted

rules and policies to govern the second

processing round for the non-voice,

non-geostationary mobile satellite

service (‘‘NVNG MSS’’) also referred to

as the ‘‘Little LEO’’ service. The

Commission’s rules adopted include a

spectrum sharing plan that permits

licensing five NVNG MSS applicants;

financial qualification rules; rules

requiring NVNG MSS licensees to timeshare spectrum with existing

commercial and government licensees;

and a rule requiring second processing

round applicants to file amendments to

their applications to conform their

applications to the rules adopted in the

Report and Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a

summary of the Commission’s Report

and Order in IB Docket No. 96–220; FCC

97–370, adopted October 8, 1997, and

released October 15, 1997. The complete

text of this Report and Order is available

for inspection and copying during

normal business hours in the FCC

Because this Report and Order contains

information collections that affect less

than 10 persons and, therefore, is not

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act

of 1995, Public Law No. 104–13. As

required by Section 603 of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, the

Commission has prepared a Regulatory

Flexibility Analysis (‘‘RFA’’) of the

expected impact on small entities of the

proposals suggested in this document.

Summary of the Report and Order

1. This Report and Order (‘‘R&O’’)

reflects the Commission’s commitment

to licensing applicants in the second

processing round to provide Little LEO

service and the Commission’s continued

efforts to promote competition in the

U.S. satellite services market. With this

R&O, we adopt a spectrum sharing plan

and service rules and polices for the

licensing of five applicants in the

second processing round.

2. Because the second processing

round applicants filed a mutually

agreed upon spectrum sharing plan with

the Commission that accommodates all

of their proposed systems, we decline to

adopt our proposed new entrant rule.

The spectrum sharing plan that we

adopt achieves the same procompetitive objectives as our proposed

new entrant rule with the additional

benefit of permitting the licensing of all

five second processing round

applicants. Therefore, our proposed new

entrant rule is unnecessary.

3. As a result of the spectrum sharing

plan agreed to by the second processing

round applicants, all applicants can be

accommodated in the available

spectrum being licensed. Consequently,

our proposed strict financial

qualification standard is unnecessary to

prevent an under-financed applicant

from preventing a fully capitalized

applicant from going forward.

Therefore, we adopt a relaxed financial

qualification standard that requires that

second processing round applicants

demonstrate finances sufficient to

construct and launch two satellites in

their proposed systems and to operate

two satellites in their system for one

year after their launch. 4. We adopt a spectrum sharing plan

that permits licensing five second

processing round applicants: three new

Little LEO systems and two existing

Little LEO licensees. One new Little

LEO applicant (‘‘System 1’’) can operate

a system in the 148–150.05 MHz uplink

band and the 137–137.025 MHz,

400.15–401 MHz downlink bands. A

second new Little LEO applicant

(‘‘System 2’’) can operate a system in the

148–150.05 MHz uplink band and in

parts of the 400.15–401 MHz and 137–

138 MHz downlink bands. A third new

Little LEO applicant (‘‘System 3’’) can

operate a system in the 148–148.905

MHz uplink band and the 137.0725–

137.9275 MHz downlink band. Orbital

Communications Corporation, an

existing Little LEO licensee

(‘‘Orbcomm’’), can expand its Little LEO

system by sharing approximately 355

kHz of spectrum in the 148–148.855

MHz uplink band with Systems 1, 2 and

3. Orbcomm will also operate in parts of

the 137–138 MHz downlink band not

being used by Systems 1 or 2. Finally,

Volunteers in Technical Assistance, Inc.

(‘‘VITA’’), also an existing Little LEO

licensee, can expand its authorized

Little LEO system to operate in the

400.5983–400.645 MHz downlink band

on a time-shared basis with System 2. In

the 137–138 MHz band, System 2 will
