tipping point of the new owner’s 

internal risk analysis in favor of 

auditing and disclosing. EPA’s tracking 

is intended to help inform the Agency’s 

assessment of the effectiveness of the 

Interim Approach and may at some 

point serve as a scoping element for 

enforcement planning. 

III. Public Process 

EPA seeks public comment on the 

Interim Approach described in this 

Notice, and asks that comments be 

specifically aimed at improving the 

overall design and specific elements of 

the Interim Approach, as well as at 

addressing any relevant issues or 

considerations which may not appear to 

be reflected. The public comment 

docket will be open for a period of 90 

days. The Agency will concurrently 

begin applying the Interim Approach, as 

EPA believes the most efficient way to 

effectively test this strategy, and learn 

from practical experience, is to 

implement it on an interim basis. 

EPA will be reviewing public 

comment as it is received and will 

continue its dialogue with stakeholders 

on whether refinements to the Interim 

Approach are needed. In addition, the 

Agency will place into the public docket 

copies of agreements resolving 

violations disclosed by new owners 

under the Interim Approach. EPA 

intends to assess the effectiveness of the 

Interim Approach on a continual basis. 

Based on public comment and after the 

Agency has gained sufficient experience 

in implementing the Interim Approach, 

EPA will decide to finalize, revise or 

discontinue these tailored incentives for 

new owners. 

EPA encourages parties of all 

interests, including state, tribal and 

local government, industry, not-forprofit organizations, municipalities, 

public interest groups and private 

citizens to comment, so that the Agency 

can hear from as broad a spectrum of 

stakeholders as possible. 

IV. What Should I Consider as I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI 

to EPA through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the Notice and Request for 

Comments by docket number and other 

identifying information (subject 

heading, Federal Register date and page 

number). 

• Follow directions—The Agency 

may ask you to respond to specific 

questions. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and language. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If possible, provide any pertinent 

information about the context for your 

comments (e.g., the size and type of 

acquisition transaction you have in 

mind). 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible. 

• Submit your comments on time.

Synopsis 

The applications for certification of 

TRS programs of the states, territories, 

and the District of Columbia listed 

below (hereinafter, ‘‘states’’) have been 

granted, pursuant to Title IV of the 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 

47 U.S.C. 225(f)(2), and 47 CFR 

64.606(b). On the basis of the state 

applications, the Bureau has determined 

that: 

(1) The TRS program of the states 

meet or exceed all operational, 

technical, and functional minimum 

standards contained in 47 CFR 64.604; 

(2) The TRS programs of the listed 

states make available adequate 

procedures and remedies for enforcing 

the requirements of the state program; 

and 

(3) The TRS programs of the listed 

states in no way conflict with federal 

law. 

The Bureau also has determined that, 

where applicable, the intrastate funding 

mechanisms of the listed states are 

labeled in a manner that promotes 

national understanding of TRS and does 

not offend the public, consistent with 47 

CFR 64.606(d). 

Because the Commission may adopt 

changes to the rules governing relay 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 149 / Friday, August 1, 2008 / Notices 45007 

programs, including state relay 

programs, the certification is 

conditioned on a demonstration of 

compliance with any additional new 

rules that are adopted by the 

Commission. The Commission will 

provide guidance to the states on 

demonstrating compliance with such 

rule changes. 

In response to the public notice 

seeking comment on the applications for 

certification of state TRS programs, 

Applications for Certification as

Relay Service (TRS) Programs Filed; 

Pleading Cycle Established for Comment 

on Applications, CG Docket No. 03–123, 

DA 08–60, published at 73 FR 9118, 

February 19, 2008, the Commission 

received 84 comments, all of which 

address Speech-to-Speech (STS) 

outreach. As part of their applications 

for certification, states were required to 

submit specific examples of all outreach 

activities, including those targeted to 

users and receivers of STS services. We 

reviewed each of the outreach plans 

submitted by the states in conjunction 

with each of the applications listed 

below and found them to be in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

requirements. The Bureau reminds 

states receiving certification of their 

continued obligation to engage in 

outreach activities, or to ensure that 

their contracted TRS providers conduct 

outreach in accordance with 47 CFR 

64.604(c)(3). 

This certification, as conditioned, 

shall remain in effect for a five year 

period, beginning July 26, 2008, and 

ending July 25, 2013, pursuant to 47 

CFR 64.606(c). One year prior to the 

expiration of this certification, 

beginning July 25, 2012, the states may 

apply for renewal of their TRS program

Synopsis 

On February 28, 2008, the 

Commission released the 2008 Hearing 

Aid Compatibility First Report and 

Order, which modified the 

Commission’s hearing aid compatibility 

requirements applicable to providers of 

public mobile services and 

manufacturers of digital wireless 

handsets used in the delivery of those 

services. These modifications include 

requiring manufacturers and service 

providers to provide hearing aid 

compatibility contact information 

directly to the Commission for posting 

on the Commission’s Web site. 

Specifically, the Commission amended 

47 CFR 68.418 to require that 

manufacturers and service providers 

designate and identify one or more 

agents upon whom service may be made 

of all informal complaints, as well as 

notices, inquiries, orders, decisions, and 

other pronouncements of the 

Commission in any matter before the 

Commission. The regulations further 

provide that ‘‘[s]uch designation shall 

be provided to the Commission and 

shall include a name or department 

designation, business address, 

telephone number, and, if available, 

TTY number, facsimile number, and 

Internet e-mail address.’’ Finally, the 

regulations require the Commission to 

make this information available to the 

public. 

Apart from requiring the provision of 

contact information directly to the 

Commission, the new regulations do not 

otherwise change the procedures for 

handling complaints alleging a violation 

of the Commission’s hearing aid 

compatibility rules.
