Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2010 / Proposed Rules 6339 

0664. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The 

http://www.regulations.gov Web site is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The statutory and regulatory 

background is described in detail in the 

Federal Register proposed rule of 

October 19, 2009 (74 FR 53445). In that 

document, EPA proposed to find HFO– 

1234yf acceptable as an alternative 

refrigerant for motor vehicle air 

conditioning, subject to use conditions. 

The refrigerant discussed in the 

proposed action, for which the comment 

period is reopened, is a non-ozonedepleting substance. 

This Action 

EPA has received a request for an 

extension to the comment deadline for 

this proposed rule. 

This action reopens the comment 

period. The Agency will consider 

additional comments we receive 

through February 24, 2010 in response 

to this action. Note that additional 

information is available in the public 

docket, EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0664, 

since publication of the October 19, 

2009 proposed rule and a subsequent 

notice reopening the public comment 

period (December 28, 2009; 74 FR 

68558). EPA will also consider 

comments received by February 24, 

2010 in response to the previous 

Federal Register publication [EPA– 

OAR–2008–0664] before issuing a final 

regulatory determination for HFO– 

1234yf. We intend to issue a regulatory 

determination as expeditiously as 

possible following consideration of the 

comments and information we receive. 

Dated: February 3, 2010.

Assistant Administrator, Office of Air and 

Radiation.

6340 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Public Safety and Homeland Security 

Bureau invites public comment on the 

petition for rulemaking filed on 

November 12, 2009, by the California 

Public Utilities Commission (‘‘CPUC’’). 

The CPUC petitions the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 1.401 of the 

Commissions rules, requesting that the 

Federal Communications Commission 

(Commission or FCC) grant State public 

utilities commissions direct access to 

the Commission’s Network Outage 

Reporting System (NORS) database. The 

CPUC also informally requests, pursuant 

to Section 1.41 of the Commission’s 

rules, that the Commission act to allow 

the CPUC password-protected access to 

the NORS database that is ‘‘limited to 

California-specific disruption and 

outage data.’’ 

NORS is the Web-based filing system 

through which certain communications 

providers submit reports to the 

Commission of disruptions to 

communications as required by part 4 of 

the Commission’s rules. Reports of 

service disruptions filed in NORS are 

presumed to be confidential. Currently, 

the Commission shares NORS data only 

with the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

CPUC states that the Commission 

found that mandatory reporting of 

network outages was ‘‘the only reliable 

way to collect this important 

information for use by this Commission 

and, where appropriate, for other 

government entities.’’ The CPUC asserts 

that, during the part 4 rulemaking 

proceeding, no State public utility 

commission requested access to the part 

4 service disruption data and the 

Commission did not address whether it 

should or would grant State public 

utilities commissions the same direct 

access to the NORS reports that it 

provided to DHS. 

CPUC states that because the public 

health and safety, as well as California’s 

economy, depend heavily on reliable 

and well functioning wireline and 

wireless voice and data communications 

networks, it is critical that the CPUC 

have access to the same level of service 

outage detail found in NORS reports in 

order to effectively analyze the data. 

CPUC adds that State commissioners, 

like the FCC, are responsible for 

overseeing the reliability and security of 

their State’s respective communications 

infrastructures and, in times of crisis, 

local and State authorities are often the 

first responders. CPUC states that, 

because of this, California has adopted 

‘‘the FCC’s NORS requirements’’ and 

implemented safeguards to ensure the 

confidentiality of the information 

received. 

CPUC asserts that its goal is to obtain 

the data necessary to perform its 

‘‘traditional role of protecting public 

health and safety through monitoring of 

communications network functionality’’ 

without requiring duplicative reporting 

by telecommunications providers. 

Acknowledging national security 

concerns, it seeks to allow states access 

to the NORS database if they can show 

that appropriate protections are in place 

that would ensure that the 

confidentiality of the data is 

maintained. 

The petition for rulemaking is 

available for public inspection and 

copying in the Commission’s Reference 

Center, Room CY–A257, 445 12th Street, 

SW., Washington, DC 20554. Copies of 

the request also may be obtained via the
