ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend the 

Standards of Performance for Petroleum 

Refineries for Which Construction, 

Reconstruction, or Modification 

Commenced After May 14, 2007. In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

Federal Register, we are amending the 

definition of ‘‘delayed coking unit’’ as a 

direct final rule without a prior 

proposed rule. If we receive no adverse 

comment, we will not take further 

action on this proposed rule. 

DATES: Comments: Written comments 

must be received by February 3, 2014. 

Public Hearing: If anyone contacts 

EPA requesting to speak at a public 

hearing by December 24, 2013, a public 

hearing will be held on January 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2007–0011, by mail to Air 

and Radiation Docket (2822T), 1200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why is the EPA issuing this proposed 

rule? 

This document proposes to take 

action on amendments to the standards 

of performance for petroleum refineries 

at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja. We are 

proposing to amend the definition of 

‘‘delayed coking unit’’ in 40 CFR 

60.101a and to remove a redundant 

definition of ‘‘delayed coking unit’’ in 

that same section. We have published a 

direct final rule revising the definition 

of ‘‘delayed coking unit’’ in the ‘‘Rules 

and Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no adverse comment. We have 

explained our reasons for this action in 

the preamble to the direct final rule. 

If we receive no adverse comment and 

no request for a public hearing on the 

parallel direct final rule, we will not 

take further action on this proposed 

rule. If we receive adverse comment on 

a distinct portion of the direct final rule, 

we will withdraw that portion of the 

rule and it will not take effect. In this 

instance, we would address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. 

If we receive adverse comment on a 

distinct provision of the direct final 

rule, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

indicating which provisions we are 

withdrawing. The provisions that are 

not withdrawn will become effective on 

the date set out in the direct final rule, 

notwithstanding adverse comment on 

any other provision. We do not intend 

to institute a second comment period on 

this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time. 

The regulatory text for the proposal is 

identical to that for the direct final rule 

published in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register. For further supplementary 

information, the detailed rationale for 

the proposal and the regulatory 

revisions, see the direct final rule 

published in a separate part of this 

Federal Register.

1. In this document, the Wireline 

Competition Bureau (Bureau) seeks to 

further develop the record on several 

implementation issues regarding the 

transition from Connect America Phase 

I to Phase II. 

2. Timing of Phase II Support 

Disbursements. In the USF/ICC 

Transformation Order, 76 FR 73830, 

November 29, 2011, the Commission 

specified that price cap carriers electing 

to make a state-level commitment would 

receive five years of model-based 

support, and it established a process for 

transitioning support from Connect 

America Fund Phase I to Phase II in 

states where model-based support is 

greater than frozen support. 

Specifically, for a carrier accepting the 

state-wide commitment pursuant to 

Connect America Fund Phase II, ‘‘in the 

first year, the carrier will receive onehalf the full amount the carrier will 

receive under CAF Phase II and one-half 

the amount the carrier received under 

CAF Phase I for the previous year 

(which would be the frozen amount if 

the carrier declines Phase I or the frozen 

amount plus the incremental amount if 

the carrier accepts Phase I); in the 

second year, each carrier accepting the 

state-wide commitment will receive the 

full CAF Phase II amount.’’ 

3. Several price cap carriers have 

raised questions regarding how to 

calculate the five-year funding period in 

light of the language in paragraph 180 

of the USF/ICC Transformation Order. 

We now seek to more fully develop the 

record on this issue. The Bureau seeks 

comment on several alternatives. First, 

the price cap carrier could receive the 

remaining half of one year of annual 

support as a lump sum on the date that 

is five years after the date of the initial 

election. Second, the remaining half 

could be distributed pro-rata on a 

monthly basis over the third through 

fifth years. Third, the remaining half 

year could be provided as a lump sum
