Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 245 / Monday, December 22, 2014 / Proposed Rules 76267 

and all other emissions, the SIP will 

achieve its overall purpose, in this case 

providing for maintenance of the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA’s process for 

determining adequacy of a MVEB 

consists of three basic steps: (1) 

Providing public notification of a SIP 

submission; (2) providing the public the 

opportunity to comment on the MVEB 

during a public comment period; and, 

(3) EPA taking action on the MVEB. 

EPA has reviewed the MVEBs and 

found them consistent with the 

maintenance plan and that the budgets 

meet the criteria for adequacy and 

approval. Therefore, EPA is proposing 

to approve as well as find adequate the 

2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs 

for Berks County for transportation 

conformity purposes. Additional 

information pertaining to the review of 

the MVEBs can be found in the TSD 

dated April 29, 2014, available on line 

at www.regulations.gov, Docket ID No. 

EPA–R03–OAR–2014–0147. Any 

comments relating to EPA’s proposal to 

approve as well as find adequate the 

2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs 

for Berks County for transportation 

conformity purposes, as submitted by 

Pennsylvania, should be submitted in 

response to this notice of proposed 

rulemaking. 

VI. Proposed Actions 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

request submitted by Pennsylvania to 

redesignate the Reading Area from 

nonattainment to attainment for the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA has 

evaluated the Commonwealth’s 

redesignation request and determined 

that it meets the redesignation criteria 

set forth in section 107(d)(3)(E) of the 

CAA. The monitoring data demonstrates 

that the Reading Area has attained the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS, and, for the 

reasons discussed previously, that it 

will continue to attain the NAAQS. EPA 

is also proposing to approve the 

maintenance plan for the Reading Area 

as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP 

because it meets the requirements of 

section 175A of the CAA as described 

previously in this proposed rulemaking 

notice. In addition, EPA is proposing to 

approve the 2007 base year emissions 

inventory as meeting the requirements 

of section 172(a)(3) of the CAA. 

Furthermore, EPA is proposing to 

approve as well as find adequate the 

2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs 

submitted by Pennsylvania for Berks 

County for transportation purposes. 

Final approval of the redesignation 

request would change the designation of 

Reading Area from nonattainment to 

attainment for the 1997 PM2.5 annual 

NAAQS. EPA is soliciting public 

comments on the issues discussed in 

this document. These comments will be 

considered before taking final action. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is 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); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

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

• Is 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.); 

• Does 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); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

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

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is 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 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this rule proposing to 

approve Pennsylvania’s redesignation 

request, maintenance plan, 2007 base 

year emissions inventory, and MVEBs 

for transportation conformity purposes 

for the Reading Area for the 1997 annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS, 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.

FCC Seeks Comment on Cellular 

Service Reform of Licensing and 

Technical Rules, Including Power 

Limits 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission proposes and seeks 

comment on reforms of its rules 

governing the 800 MHz Cellular 

(‘‘Cellular’’) Service. The proposals 

include a geographic-based 

discontinuance of operations rule to 

replace the current site-based approach, 

and the establishment of frequency 

coordinators to review certain 

applications prior to their submission to 

the Commission. In addition, the 

Commission proposes revised Cellular 

radiated power provisions and related 

technical rules, including use of a 

power spectral density (‘‘PSD’’) model. 

The goals of the proposed reforms are to 

provide licensees with increased 

flexibility, achieve greater efficiency in 

the provision of new service to 

consumers, and facilitate deployment of 

next-generation wireless broadband 

networks that use advanced 

technologies.
