‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

the EPA. 

On December 31, 2014, we published 

in the Federal Register a proposed rule 

on the flexible permit program in Texas. 

See 79 FR 78752, December 31, 2014. In 

the original proposal, we requested 

comment by January 30, 2015. We are 

reopening the public comment period 

because we neglected to include certain 

supporting materials in Docket ID No.

www.regulations.gov. 

This reopening will provide an 

opportunity for the review and 

comment of all the relevant materials 

now posted in the public docket for 30 

days from the date of today’s 

publication.

Summary 

1. The Commission initiated this 

proceeding to amend its rules of 

organization that apply to amateur radio 

licensee address information that is 

routinely available for public 

inspection. Specifically, the 

Commission proposes in this NPRM to 

amend its rules to revise its rules to 

specify that historical amateur radio 

licensee address information (that is, 

address information not associated with 

a current license or pending 

application) will not be routinely 

available for public inspection. The 

Commission found that amending these 

rules will enhance amateur radio 

operators’ privacy without undermining 

the public interest in knowing who is 

authorized to operate on amateur 

spectrum. The Commission also seeks 

comment on whether this approach 

should be extended to individual 

licensees in any other Wireless Radio 

Services, such as the General Mobile 

Radio Service, commercial radio 

operator licensees, and individuals who 

hold ship station and/or aircraft station 

licenses. 

I. Procedural Matters 

A. Ex Parte Rules—Permit-but-Disclose 

Proceeding 

2. This is a permit-but-disclose notice 

and comment rulemaking proceeding. 

Ex parte presentations are permitted, 

except during the Sunshine Agenda 

period, provided they are disclosed as 

provided in the Commission’s rules. 

B. Comment Dates 

3. Pursuant to §§ 1.415 and 1.419 of 

the Commission’s rules, interested 

parties may file comments on or before 

June 16, 2015, and reply comments are 

due July 16, 2015. 

4. Commenters may file comments 

electronically using the Commission’s 

Electronic Comment Filing System 

(ECFS), the Federal Government’s 

eRulemaking Portal, or by filing paper 

copies. Commenters filing through the 

ECFS can be sent as an electronic file 

via the Internet to http://www.fcc.gov/efile/ecfs.html. If multiple docket or 

rulemaking numbers appear in the 

caption of this proceeding, filers must 

transmit one electronic copy for each 

docket or rulemaking number 

referenced in the caption. In completing 

the transmittal screen, commenters 

should include their full name, U.S. 

Postal Service mailing address, and the 

applicable docket or rulemaking 

number. Commenters may also submit 

an electronic comment by Internet 

email. To get filing instructions for 

email comments, commenters should 

send an email to ecfs@fcc.gov, and 

should include the following words in 

the body of the message, ‘‘get form.’’ 

Commenters will receive a sample form 

and directions in reply. Commenters 

filing through the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal http://www.regulations.gov, 

should follow the instructions provided 

on the Web site for submitting 

comments. 

5. Commenters who chose to file 

paper comments must file an original 

and four copies of each comment. If 

more than one docket or rulemaking 

number appears in the caption of this 

proceeding, filers must submit two 

additional copies for each additional 

docket or rulemaking number. All 

filings must be sent to the Commission’s 

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, 

Federal Communications Commission, 

445 12th Street SW., Room TW–A325, 

Washington, DC 20554. 

6. Commenters may send filings by 

hand or messenger delivery, by 

commercial overnight courier, or by

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Proposed Rules 21201 

Service mail. The Commission’s 

contractor will receive hand-delivered 

or messenger-delivered paper filings for 

the Commission’s Secretary at 445 12th 

Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. 

Commenters must bind all hand

commercial overnight mail (other than 

U.S. Postal Service Express Mail and 

Priority Mail) to 9300 East Hampton

Service first-class mail, Express Mail, 

and Priority Mail to 445 12th Street

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

7. This document does not contain 

proposed 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). 

II. Initial Regulatory Flexibility 

Analysis 

8. The Regulatory Flexibility Act 

requires an initial regulatory flexibility 

analysis to be prepared for notice and 

comment rulemaking proceedings, 

unless the agency certifies that ‘‘the rule 

will not, if promulgated, have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities.’’ 

The RFA generally defines the term 

‘‘small entity’’ as having the same 

meaning as the terms ‘‘small business,’’ 

‘‘small organization,’’ and ‘‘small 

governmental jurisdiction.’’ In addition, 

the term ‘‘small business’’ has the same 

meaning as the term ‘‘small business 

concern’’ under the Small Business Act. 

A ‘‘small business concern’’ is one 

which: (1) Is independently owned and 

operated; (2) is not dominant in its field 

of operation; and (3) satisfies any 

additional criteria established by the 

Small Business Administration (SBA). 

9. In the NPRM, we propose to amend 

the Commission’s rules of organization. 

In this NPRM, we propose to amend the 

Commission’s inspection of records 

rules to provide that only amateur radio 

licensee address information connected 

with current licenses and pending 

applications is routinely available for 

public inspection in ULS or in paper 

files. Because ‘‘small entities,’’ as 

defined in the RFA, do not include a 

‘‘person’’ as the term is used in this 

proceeding or an individual, the 

proposed rules do not apply to ‘‘small 

entities.’’ Rather, they apply exclusively 

to individuals who are licensees of 

certain stations or who hold certain 

Commission authorizations. Therefore, 

we certify that the proposals in this 

NPRM, if adopted, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

III. Ordering Clauses 

11. Accordingly, it is ordered, 

pursuant to sections 4(i), 303(r), and 403 

of the Communications Act of 1934, 47 

U.S.C. 154(i), 303(r), and 403, that this 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is 

hereby adopted. 

12. The Commission’s Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference 

Information Center, shall send a copy of 

this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

including the Initial Regulatory 

Flexibility Certification, to the Chief 

Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration.

Proposed Rules 

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the Federal Communications 

Commission proposes to amend 47 CFR 

part 0 as follows: 

PART 0—COMMISSION 

ORGANIZATION 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 0 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: Sec. 5, 48 Stat. 1068, as 

amended; 47 U.S.C. 155, 225, unless 

otherwise noted. 

■ 2. Section 0.453 is amended by 

revising paragraphs (d) introductory text 

and (d)(4) to read as follows: 

§ 0.453 Public reference rooms. 

* * * * * 

(d) Wireless Telecommunications 

Services and Auction related data as 

follows, except to the extent they are 

excluded from routine public inspection 

under another section of this chapter: 

* * * * * 

(4) Electronically stored application 

and licensing data (including data filed 

manually and entered into ULS by 

Commission staff) for commercial radio 

operators and for all authorizations in 

the Wireless Radio Services are 

available for public inspection via the 

Commission’s Web site, http://

wireless.fcc.gov/uls. Wireless Radio 

services include Commercial and 

Private Mobile Radio, Common Carrier 

and Private Operational Fixed point-topoint Microwave, Local Television 

Transmission Service (LTTS), Digital 

Electronic Message Service (DEMS), 

Aviation Ground and Marine Coast 

applications; and 

* * * * * 

■ 3. Section 0.457 is amended by 

revising paragraph (f) to read as follows: 

§ 0.457 Records not routinely available for 

public inspection. 

* * * * * 

(f) Personnel, medical and other files 

whose disclosure would constitute a 

clearly unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6). (1) 

Under E.O. 10561, the Commission 

maintains an Official Personnel Folder 

for each of its employees. Such folders 

are under the jurisdiction and control, 

and are a part of the records, of the U.S. 

Office of Personnel Management. Except 

as provided in the rules of the Office of 

Personnel Management (5 CFR 293.311), 

such folders will not be made available 

for public inspection by the 

Commission. In addition, other records 

of the Commission containing private, 

personal or financial information 

concerning particular employees and 

Commission contractors will be 

withheld from public inspection. 

(2) With respect to the Amateur Radio 

Service as that term is defined in 

§ 97.3(a) of this chapter, address 

information on expired, canceled, or 

terminated licenses; archived versions 

of active licenses; and processed 

applications will not be made available 

for public inspection by the 

Commission. For such licensees, 

disclosure of an individual’s historical 

address information is considered 

clearly unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy.
