Definition of Solid Waste 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or the Agency) is 

announcing an extension to the 

comment period for the proposed rule 

on the definition of solid waste

material. The comment period is being 

extended to October 20, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Status: The meeting will be open to 

the public. 

Purpose: The purpose of the 

Negotiated Rulemaking Committee on 

Designation of Medically Underserved 

Populations and Health Professional 

Shortage Areas is to establish criteria 

and a comprehensive methodology for 

designation of Medically Underserved 

Populations (MUPs) and Primary Care 

Health Professional Shortage Areas 

(HPSAs), using a Negotiated 

Rulemaking (NR) process. It is hoped 

that use of the NR process will yield a 

consensus among technical experts and 

stakeholders on a new rule for 

designation of MUPs and Primary Care 

HPSAs, which would be published as 

an Interim Final Rule in accordance 

with Section 5602 of the Affordable 

Care Act, Public Law 111–148. 

Agenda: The meeting will include a 

discussion of various components of a 

possible methodology for identifying 

areas of shortage and underservice, 

based on the recommendations of the 

Committee in the previous meeting. The 

agenda will be available on the 

Committee’s Web site (http:// 

www.hrsa.gov/advisorycommittees/ 

shortage/) one day prior to the meeting. 

Agenda items are subject to change as 

priorities dictate. 

For members of the public interested 

in participating in the webinar, please 

contact LaCrystal McNair by e-mail at 

lmcnair@hrsa.gov. Requests to attend 

can be made up to two days prior to the 

meeting. Participants will receive an email response containing the link to the 

webinar. Requests to provide written 

comments should be sent to LaCrystal 

McNair by e-mail at least 10 days prior 

to the meeting. Members of the public 

will have the opportunity to provide 

written comments before and after the 

meeting. 

The Committee is working under tight 

timeframes to meet the reporting 

requirement in the Affordable Care Act. 

Due to the complexity of the issue, the 

Committee has been granted additional 

time to meet its final report deadline. As 

a result, meetings were added to the 

Committee schedule. The logistical 

challenges of expanding the meeting 

schedule hindered an earlier 

publication of this meeting notice.

providing public notification of the 

decision to discontinue the rulemaking 

in the review of the CAS 403 thresholds 

at 48 CFR 9904.403–40(c)(2) that require

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Regulatory Process 

Rules, Regulations and Standards 

issued by the Cost Accounting 

Standards (Board) are codified at 48 

CFR chapter 99. The Office of Federal 

Procurement Policy Act, at 41 U.S.C. 

1502(c) [formerly, 41 U.S.C. 422(g)], 

requires the Board, prior to the 

establishment of any new or revised 

Cost Accounting Standard, to complete 

a prescribed rulemaking process. The 

process generally consists of four steps. 

The CAS Board has completed step 

one of the statutory rulemaking process, 

which required the Board to consult 

with interested persons concerning the 

advantages, disadvantages, and 

improvements anticipated in the pricing 

and administration of Government 

contracts as a result of the adoption of 

a proposed Standard. This notice 

announces the discontinuation of the 

rulemaking after completing step one of 

the four-step process in accordance with 

the requirements at 41 U.S.C. 1502(c). 

B. Background and Summary 

The CAS Board opened a review of 

the CAS 403 operating revenue 

thresholds at the urging of interested 

parties, an industry group and a Federal 

agency. They recommended revisions to 

the CAS operating revenue thresholds
