65348 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 213 / Tuesday, November 4, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by January 5, 2015. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register, rather than file 

an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

EPA can withdraw this direct final rule 

and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

Synopsis: As required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3507), the FCC is notifying the 

public that it received OMB approval on 

October 17, 2014, for information 

collection requirements contained in the 

Commission’s rules at 47 CFR 4.9(h). 

Under 5 CFR part 1320, an agency 

may not conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information unless it displays a 

current, valid OMB 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 

current, valid OMB Control Number. 

The OMB Control Number is 3060– 

0484. The foregoing notice is required 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, Public Law 104–13, October 1, 

1995, and 44 U.S.C. 3507. 

The total annual reporting burdens 

and costs for the respondents are as 

follows: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0484. 

OMB Approval Date: October 17, 

2014. 

OMB Expiration Date: October 31, 

2017. 

Title: Section 4.9, Part 4 of the 

Commission’s Rules Concerning 

Disruptions to Communications. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; not-for-profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: Approximately 1,100 

respondents; 15,444 responses per year. 

Estimated Time per Response: No 

more than 2.5 hours per occurrence. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and annual reporting requirements, 

recordkeeping requirement and third 

party disclosure requirement 

Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. 

Statutory authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

151, 154(i)–(j) & (o), 201(b), 214(d), 218, 

251(e)(3), 301, 303(b), 303(g), 303(r), 

307, 309(a), 316, 332, 403, 615a–1, and

251(e)(3), 301, 303(b), 303(g), 303(r), 

307, 309(a), 316, 332, 403, 615a–1, and 

615c. 

Total Annual Burden: 29,870 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $0. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Network Outage Reporting System 

(NORS) outage reports filed with the 

Commission pursuant to Part 4 of its 

rules are presumed confidential. The 

information in those filings may be 

shared with the Department of 

Homeland Security only under 

appropriate confidential disclosure 

provisions. Other persons seeking 

disclosure must follow the procedures 

delineated in 47 CFR 0.457 and 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules for requests for 

and disclosure of information. The 

revisions to this information collection 

require information to be transmitted to 

third parties, not to the FCC. 

Accordingly, the Commission cannot, 

and does not, guarantee confidentiality 

of information provided directly to 

PSAPs or other 911 special facilities. 

The revisions do not affect the 

confidential treatment of information 

provided directly to the FCC through 

NORS. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: On December 12, 

2013, the Commission released a Report 

and Order, PS Docket Nos. 13–75, 11– 

60; FCC 13–158 (the Report and Order) 

adopting rules, which are codified at 47 

CFR 4.9(h). The Report and Order 

requires Covered 911 Service Providers, 

defined in section 12.4(a)(4), to notify 

PSAPs of outages that potentially affect 

911 service within 30 minutes of 

discovering the outage and provide 

contact information such as a name, 

telephone number, and email for followup. Whenever additional material 

information becomes available, but no 

later than two hours after the initial 

contact, the Covered 911 Service 

Provider must communicate additional 

detail to the PSAP, including the nature 

of the outage, its best-known cause, the 

geographic scope of the outage, and the 

estimated time for repairs. Notifications 

must be transmitted by telephone and in 

writing via electronic means, unless the 

PSAP and service provider have agreed 

in advance to an alternative method. 

The new requirements apply only to 

entities defined as Covered 911 Service 

Providers under 47 CFR 12.4(a)(4), and 

outage reporting obligations for other 

entities remain unchanged. 

Previous FCC rules required certain 

communications providers to notify 

PSAPs of 911 outages ‘‘as soon as 

possible’’ with ‘‘all available 

information that may be useful.’’ The 

revisions to this information collection 

respond to the derecho storm that struck 

the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic United 

States in June 2012, causing significant 

disruptions in 911 service. Through its 

inquiry into these 911 outages, the 

Commission learned that many PSAPs’ 

efforts to restore service were 

complicated by inadequate information 

and ineffective communication by 911 

service providers. PSAPs depend on 

reliable 911 service to answer 

emergency calls and dispatch help 

when needed. When 911 service is 

compromised, PSAPs require prompt 

notification and useful information 

about the outage so that they may make 

alternate plans to reroute calls until 

service is restored. 

As a result of its adoption of section 

4.9(h), the Commission reported a 223- 

hour increase in its previous annual 

burden estimates for OMB Control 

Number 3060–0484. These revisions do 

not affect the obligation to submit NORS 

outage reports to the FCC or the 

information that must be provided in 

NORS reports; those portions of the 

information collection have already

been approved by OMB and have not

Commission Suspends Expiration 

Dates and Construction Deadlines for 

New Digital Low Power Television and 

TV Translator Stations 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule; suspension of 

expiration dates. 

SUMMARY: The Commission announced 

that, effective immediately, it is 

suspending the expiration dates and 

construction deadlines for all 

outstanding construction permits for 

new digital low power television (LPTV) 

and TV translator stations. The 

Commission will decide on a new 

construction deadline for these 

permittees in the rulemaking proceeding 

in MB Docket No. 03–185. Until a 

decision is reached in the rulemaking 

decision and the Commission can 

determine the effect of the future 

incentive auction and repacking, 

permittees of new digital LPTV and TV 

translator stations may delay completing 

construction of their digital facilities. 

DATES: The suspension became effective 

on October 10, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Shaun Maher, Video Division, Media 

Bureau, Federal Communications 

Commission, Shaun.Maher@fcc.gov, 

(202) 418–2324. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

immediately, the expiration dates and 

construction deadlines for all 

outstanding unexpired construction 

permits for new digital low power 

television (LPTV) and TV translator 

stations set forth in 47 CFR 74.788 are 

hereby suspended pending final action 

in the rulemaking proceeding in MB 

Docket No. 03–185 initiated today by 

the Commission. In a Third Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking released October 

10, 2014 in MB Docket No. 03–185 (FCC 

14–151) the Commission recognized 

that the incentive auction and repacking 

process will impact existing analog 

LPTV and TV translator stations 

transitioning to digital and, because of 

this, it tentatively concluded to 

postpone the September 1, 2015 digital 

transition date. For similar reasons, the 

Commission also tentatively concluded 

to extend the construction deadlines of 

permits for new digital LPTV and TV 

translator stations and proposed that 

these permits be subject to whatever 

new transition date is adopted. This 

proposed action would also have the 

effect of treating these permittees 

similarly to the permittees of 

transitioning LPTV and TV translator 

stations.
