Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 1995 / Proposed Rules 8341

of this proposed interim approval. The

principal purposes of the docket are:

(1) To allow interested parties a

means to identify and locate documents

so that they can effectively participate

in the approval process, and

(2) To serve as the record in case of

judicial review. The EPA will consider

any comments received by March 16,

1995.

B. Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this action from Executive

Order 12866 review.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The EPA’s actions under section 502

of the Act do not create any new

requirements, but simply address

operating permits programs submitted

to satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Reopening of comment period.

SUMMARY: Section 211(l) of the Clean Air

Act requires the Environmental

Protection Agency to establish

specifications for deposit control

detergent additives. On November 22,

1993, the Environmental Protection

Agency issued a notice of proposed

rulemaking for standards for deposit

control detergent additives. On October

15, 1994, EPA promulgated a final

regulation (published in the Federal

Register on November 1, 1994 (59 FR

54678)), with an interim program for

detergent additives, which will be

replaced by a full certification detergent

program in a subsequent action.

On December 28, 1994 (59 FR 66860),

EPA issued a supplemental notice

reopening the comment period for the

final detergent additive certification

program and requesting comment on

issues related to the final detergent

additive certification program. This

document extends the public comment

period for the supplemental notice.

DATES: The comment period for the

supplemental notice will be extended

from the original closing date of January

27, 1995 to February 21, 1995.

Frequency Band; Implementation of

Section 309(j) of the Communications

Act—Competitive Bidding, 800 MHz

SMR

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of

time.

SUMMARY: On November 4, 1994, the

Commission released a Further Notice

of Proposed Rule Making, FCC 94–271,

concerning establishment of a flexible

regulatory scheme and competitive

bidding procedures for Specialized

Mobile Radio (SMR) systems in the 800

MHz band.

Based on the number of initial

comments received and the variety of

views expressed in this proceeding, this

Order extends the deadline for reply

comments from January 20 to March 1,

1995. The intended effect of this action

is to provide members of the SMR

industry with an opportunity to further

evaluate, discuss, and attempt to reach

consensus regarding the proposals

presented and issues addressed both in

the Further Notice of Proposed Rule

Making and the initial comments

submitted in this proceeding.

DATES: Reply comments must be filed

on or before March 1, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Order Extending Reply Comment

Period

Adopted: January 18, 1995

Released: January 18, 1995

By the Acting Chief, Commercial

Radio Division:

1. We have received requests from the

American Mobile Telecommunications

Association, Inc. (‘‘AMTA’’), Personal

Communications Industry Association

(‘‘PCIA’’), and SMR WON for an

extension of time for filing Reply

Comments in response to the Further

Notice of Proposed Rule Making on this
8342 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 1995 / Proposed Rules

1 Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making,

Amendment of Part 90 of the Commission’s Rules

to Facilitate Future Development of SMR Systems

in the 800 MHz Frequency Band and

Implementation of Section 309(j) of the

Communications Act—Competitive Bidding, 800

MHz SMR, PR Docket No. 93–144 and PP Docket

No. 93–253, FCC 94–271, adopted October 20, 1994,

released November 4, 1994, 59 FR 60111, published

November 22, 1994 (Further Notice).

proceeding.1 AMTA’s and SMR WON’s

motions, both filed on January 11, 1995,

request that the Commission extend the

deadline for filing reply comments

(currently January 20, 1995) by 60 days.

PCIA’s motion, also filed on January 11,

1995, requests that the deadline be

extended by 30 days. To date, no

opposition to these requests has been

filed.

2. AMTA seeks an extension in order

to ‘‘facilitate continued industry efforts

to resolve certain of the matters on

which no consensus has yet been

achieved.’’ In its motion, SMR WON

notes that additional time is necessary

to ‘‘work out a consensus acceptable to

all major interested parties, even though

SMR WON and other trade associations

held weekly meetings and conference

calls throughout November and

December.’’ In addition, PCIA observes

that ‘‘the number of Comments, the

controversial issues discussed, and the

complexity of the proceeding dictate

that careful consideration be given to

the Comments filed by all parties.’’ As

a result, AMTA, SMR WON and PCIA

agree that an extension of time would

allow interested and affected parties to

submit well-reasoned options and

comments on the complex issues

addressed in this proceeding.

3. Based on the number of comments

received and the variety of views

expressed in this proceeding, it appears

that an extension of the reply comment

period is warranted. We agree with both

AMTA and SMR WON that the public

interest would be served by granting an

extension so that members of the SMR

industry can further evaluate, discuss,

and attempt to reach consensus

regarding the proposals presented and

issues addressed both in the Further

Notice and the initial comments

submitted in this proceeding. Both

parties indicate that discussions among

industry members have been ongoing

and that the members are continuing

their efforts towards developing

consensus positions. We believe that

additional time is needed to allow this

process to continue. We also agree with

PCIA that additional time is needed to

enable industry members to review the

extensive comment record filed in this

proceeding (over 80 comments have

been filed) and to submit thorough and

well-reasoned reply comments. We

nevertheless remain concerned about

avoiding a substantial delay in the

resolution of issues presented in this

proceeding. Thus, we believe that a 40-

day extension of the reply comment

period is appropriate. We emphasize

that in granting this extension, we

expect SMR industry representatives to

use the additional time productively by

continuing their efforts to find solutions

to the issues presented in this

proceeding that will be broadly

supported by industry members.

4. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered

that the Motions of Extension of Time

filed by the American Mobile

Telecommunications Association, the

Personal Communications Industry

Association, and SMR WON are hereby

GRANTED to the extent stated herein.

5. It is further ordered, pursuant to

§ 1.46 of the Commission’s Rules, 47

CFR 1.46, that the deadline for filing

reply comments in this proceeding is

extended from January 20, 1995 to

March 1, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Allium tuolumnense (Rawhide Hill

onion), Brodiaea pallida (Chinese Camp

brodiaea), Calyptridium pulchellum

(Mariposa pussypaws), Carpenteria

californica (carpenteria), Clarkia

springvillensis (Springville clarkia),

Fritillaria striata (Greenhorn adobe lily),

Lupinus citrinus var. deflexus (Mariposa

lupine), Mimulus shevockii (Kelso Creek

monkeyflower), Navarretia setiloba

(Piute Mountains navarretia), and

Verbena californica (Red Hills vervain)

are plant species found in the foothills

of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of

California. These ten plants are

restricted to various substrate-specific

habitats in Fresno, Kern, Madera,

Mariposa, Tulare, and Tuolumne

Counties. These plants face ongoing

threats from one or more of the

following: urbanization, inadequate

regulatory mechanisms, random

stochastic events, off-highway vehicle

use, logging, overgrazing, illegal

dumping, alteration of natural fire

regimes, maintenance of roads and

rights-of-ways, insect predation,

agricultural land conversion, mining,

proposed highway projects, and

competition from brush species and

nonnative grass species.

On October 4, 1994, the Service

published a proposed rule to list

Brodiaea pallida, Calyptridium

pulchellum, Lupinus citrinus var.

deflexus, and Mimulus shevockii as

endangered, and list Allium

tuolumnense, Carpenteria californica,

Clarkia springvillensis, Fritillaria

striata, Navarretia setiloba, and Verbena

californica as threatened (59 FR 50540).
