ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–7965–2] 

Final Reissuance of General NPDES 

Permits (GP) for Alaskan Mechanical 

Placer Mining (Permit Number AKG–

37–0000) and Alaskan Medium-Size 

Suction Dredging (Permit Number 

AKG–37–1000) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency, Region 10. 

ACTION: Final Notice of reissuance of 

two general permits. 

SUMMARY: Two GPs regulating the 

activities of mechanical placer mining 

and suction dredge mining for gold 

placer mining operations in the state of 

Alaska expire on October 3, 2005. On 

April 21, 2005, EPA proposed to reissue 

these two GPs. There was a 45 day 

comment period. 

During the comment period, EPA 

received comments on the mechanical 

GP regarding coverage area prohibitions 

and metals limitations. The GP remains 

the same as the current GP. 

EPA received similar comments as 

those described above for the mediumsize suction dredge GP as well as 

concern about Endangered Species and 

the interpretation of a Best Management 

Practice (BMP). The general permit 

contains new language on the 

possibility of requiring an individual 

permit in areas of concern for 

Endangered Species and a part of a BMP 

has been removed. A Response to 

Comments was prepared for each 

general permit. EPA has determined that 

each facility submitting a new Notice of 

Intent (NOI) prior to the expiration date 

of the current permit will be 

automatically covered by the re-issued 

GP. 

DATES: The GPs will be effective October 

7, 2005. Since coverage between the 

current GPs and the reissued GPs is 

continuous, there is no administrative 

extension of coverage under these GPs. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the GPs and 

Responses to Comments are available 

upon request. Written requests may be 

submitted to EPA, Region 10, 1200 Sixth 

Avenue OWW–130, Seattle, WA 98101. 

Electronic requests may be mailed to: 

washington.audrey@epa.gov or 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov.

GPs, Fact Sheets and Response to 

Comments may be found on the Region

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Order 12866 

The Office of Management and Budget 

has exempted this action from the 

review requirements of Executive Order 

12866 pursuant to Section 6 of that 

order. 

The state of Alaska, Department of 

Environmental Conservation (ADEC), 

has certified that the subject discharges 

comply with the applicable provisions 

of Sections 208(e), 301, 302, 306 and 

307 of the Clean Water Act. 

The state of Alaska, Department of 

Natural Resources, Office of Project 

Management and Permitting, Alaska 

Coastal Management Program (ACMP) 

determined that the GPs did not require 

a new ACMP review. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal 

agency must prepare an initial 

regulatory flexibility analysis ‘‘for any 

proposed rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is 

required by section 553 of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA), or 

any other law, to publish general notice 

of proposed rulemaking.’’ The RFA 

exempts from this requirement any rule 

that the issuing agency certifies ‘‘will 

not, if promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.’’ EPA has 

concluded that NPDES general permits 

are permits, not rulemakings, under the 

APA and thus not subject to APA 

rulemaking requirements or the RFA. 

Notwithstanding that general permits 

are not subject to the RFA, EPA has 

determined that these general permits, 

as issued, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission 

for Extension Under Delegated 

Authority 

September 1, 2005. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104–13. 

An agency may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act that does not 

display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before November 7, 

2005. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–1008. 

Title: Reallocation and Service Rules 

for the 698–746 MHz Band (Television 

Channels 52–59). 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and state, local or tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 715. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .50 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 358 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted allocation and service rules for 

the 698–746 MHz spectrum band which 

is being reallocated pursuant to 

statutory requirements. The 

Commission took this action to support 

the development of new services in the 

lower 700 MHz band, and to protect 

existing television operations that will 

occupy the band throughout the 

transition to digital television. 

Section 27.50(c)(5) provides that 

licensees intending to operate a base or 

fixed station at a power level greater 

than 1 kW ERP must provide advanced 

notice of such operation to the 

Commission and to licensees authorized 

in their area of operation. Licensees that 

must be notified are all licensees 

authorized under this part to operate a 

base or fixed station on an adjacent 

spectrum block at a location within 75 

km of the base or fixed station operating 

at a power level greater than 1 kW ERP. 

Notices must provide the location and 

operating parameters of the base or fixed 

station operating at a power level greater 

than 1 kW ERP, including the station’s 

ERP, antenna coordinates, antenna 

height above ground, and vertical 

antenna pattern, and such notices must 

be provided at least 90 days prior to the 

commencement of station operation. 

The information will be used to aid the 

Commission in reclaiming and 

reallocating the lower 700 MHz band 

currently used for TV channels 52–59 

for new commercial services as part of 

the Commission’s transition of TV 

broadcasting from analog to digital 

transmission systems, while retaining 

the existing broadcast allocation. 

Further, the service rules have been 

designed to promote the development 

and rapid deployment of new 

technologies, products, and services for 

the benefit of the public; to promote 

economic opportunity and competition; 

and to create the efficient and intensive
