Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 12, 2010 / Proposed Rules 26701 

create any new requirements, but rather 

results in the applicability of 

requirements contained in the CAA for 

areas that have been redesignated to 

attainment. Moreover, under the CAA, 

the Administrator is required to approve 

a SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act 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, 

these proposed actions merely approve 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For these reasons, 

these proposed actions: 

• Are 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); 

• Do not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

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

• Are 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.); 

• Do 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); 

• Do not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Are not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

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

• Are not a significant regulatory 

action subject to Executive Order 13211 

(66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Are 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 

• Do 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 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.

Synopsis 

On April 30, 2010, pursuant to 47 

CFR 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(H), NECA 

submitted its annual payment formulas 

and funding requirement estimates for 

the Fund for the period of July 1, 2010, 

through June 30, 2011. The Bureau 

seeks comment on NECA’s proposed 

compensation rates for TRS, STS, CTS, 

IP CTS, IP Relay, and VRS, for the 2010– 

2011 Fund year, as well as on NECA’s 

proposals for the carrier contribution 

factor and funding requirement. 

With respect to VRS, the Bureau is 

particularly seeking comment on 

whether the Commission should adopt 

NECA’s proposed rates for the 2010– 

2011 Fund year based on the 2009 

average actual historical costs reported 

in the data submitted to NECA by VRS 

providers. In this regard, document DA 

10–761 also seeks to refresh the record 

on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

portion of the 2009 PN and NPRM, 

which sought comment on whether VRS 

tiered rates should be recalculated based 

on data reflecting the actual costs of 

providing VRS. Telecommunications 

Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech 

Services for Individuals with Hearing 

and Speech Disabilities, Public Notice 

and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, CG 

Docket No. 03–123, FCC 09–39, 

published at 74 FR 23815, May 21, 2009 

(2009 PN and NPRM). In the past, the 

Commission has relied on projected 

costs to determine the compensation 

rate. NECA proposes a set of tiered rates 

for VRS: Tier I includes monthly 

minutes up to 50,000; Tier II includes 

monthly minutes between 50,001 and 

500,000; and Tier III includes monthly 

minutes above 500,000. In one of its 

proposals, on which the Bureau is 

particularly seeking comment, NECA 

then calculates the rate within each tier 

using weighted averages of VRS 

providers’ actual historical cost data for 

2009, including allowances of 1.6% for 

cash working capital, 3.2% for growth, 

and $0.0083 per minute for ongoing 

E911 and ten-digit numbering costs. 

This calculation results in rates of 

$5.7754 for Tier I, $6.0318 for Tier II, 

and $3.8963 for Tier III. The Bureau also 

particularly seeks comment on whether 

the Commission should adopt 2010– 

2011 interim Fund Year rates based on 

NECA’s proposed use of weighted 

averages in calculating each of the tiers. 

NECA also proposes the following 

per-minute compensation rates for all 

other forms of TRS: $2.256 for interstate 

traditional TRS; $3.1566 for STS; 

$1.6951 for CTS and IP CTS; $1.2985 for 

IP Relay. Based on these rates, NECA 

proposes a carrier contribution factor of 

between 0.00379 and 0.00908, and a 

funding requirement of between $280.8 

million and $673.3 million.

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

ACTION: Availability of amendments to a 

fishery management plan; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the 

Pacific Fishery Management Council 

(Council) has submitted Amendments 

20 and 21 to the Pacific Coast 

Groundfish Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP) for review by the Secretary of 

Commerce (Secretary). Amendment 20 

would modify the FMP to create the 

structure and management details of the 

trawl rationalization program for the 

limited entry trawl fishery. Amendment 

21 would modify the FMP to allocate 

the groundfish stocks between trawl and 

non-trawl fisheries and within trawl 

fisheries. The trawl rationalization 

program (Amendments 20 and 21) is 

intended to increase net economic 

benefits, create individual economic 

stability, provide full utilization of the 

trawl sector allocation, consider 

environmental impacts, and achieve 

individual accountability of catch and 

bycatch. 

DATES: Comments on Amendments 20 

and 21 must be received no later than 

5 p.m., local time on July 12, 2010.
