Dearborn County) to attainment for the 

1997 annual National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard) 

for fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The 

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 

(Ohio EPA) submitted its request on 

December 9, 2010, and the Indiana 

Department of Environmental 

Management (IDEM) submitted its 

request on January 25, 2011. Kentucky’s 

request to redesignate its portion of the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton area, submitted to 

EPA to on January 27, 2011, will be 

addressed in a separate rulemaking 

action. EPA’s proposal here involves 

several additional related actions. EPA 

has previously determined that the 

entire Cincinnati-Hamilton (OH-IN-KY) 

area has attained the 1997 annual PM2.5

standard. EPA is proposing to approve, 

as revisions to the Ohio and Indiana 

State Implementation Plans (SIPs), the 

States’ plans for maintaining the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS through 2021 in 

the area. EPA is proposing to approve 

the 2005 emissions inventories for the 

Ohio and Indiana portions of the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton area as meeting the 

comprehensive emissions inventory 

requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

Finally, EPA finds adequate and is 

proposing to approve Ohio and 

Indiana’s Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) and 

PM2.5 Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets 

(MVEBs) for 2015 and 2021 for the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the 

determination of attainment, 

redesignation, and SIP as a direct final 

rule without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

action and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.

Inquiry Into Disbursement Process for 

the Universal Service Fund Low 

Income Program 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; solicitation of 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Wireline Competition Bureau (WCB) 

seeks comment on a proposal for 

disbursing Universal Service Fund low 

income support to eligible 

telecommunications carriers (ETCs) 

based upon claims for reimbursement of 

actual support payments made, instead 

of projected claims for support. Payment 

based on actual support payments 

would replace the current 

administrative process, under which the 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC) reimburses ETCs for 

low income support each month based 

on USAC’s projection of payments and 

on a ‘‘true-up’’ calculated using an 

ETC’s actual support payments. Among 

other things, we are seeking comment 

on a proposal that, if adopted, would 

require that the FCC Form 497 be filed 

monthly. 

DATES: Comments are due on or before 

November 18, 2011. Reply comments 

are due on or before December 5, 2011.
