73008 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 236 / Tuesday, December 9, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

2EPA intends to adjust the schedule for 

compliance reporting for the 2014 RFS standards in 

40 CFR 80.1451(a)(1) to reflect the delay in issuing 

the final 2014 RFS standards rule. No compliance 

reporting is necessary absent a final 2014 standards 

rule. 

be set in light of lower gasoline 

consumption than had been forecast at 

the time that the Energy Independence 

and Security Act was enacted, and 

whether and on what basis the statutory 

volumes should be waived. Most 

notably, commenters expressed 

concerns regarding the proposal’s ability 

to ensure continued progress towards 

achieving the volumes of renewable fuel 

targeted by the statute. 

EPA has been evaluating these issues 

in light of the purposes of the statute 

and the Administration’s commitment 

to the goals of the statute to increase the 

use of renewable fuels, particularly 

cellulosic biofuels, which will reduce 

the greenhouse gases emitted from the 

consumption of transportation fuels and 

diversify the nation’s fuel supply. 

Finalization of the 2014 standards 

rule has been significantly delayed. Due 

to this delay, and given ongoing 

consideration of the issues presented by 

the commenters, EPA is not in a 

position to finalize the 2014 RFS 

standards rule before the end of the 

year. Accordingly, we intend to take 

action on the 2014 standards rule in 

2015 prior to or in conjunction with 

action on the 2015 standards rule.2

EPA intends to modify EMTS to 

permit the trading and retiring of 2012 

vintage RINs beyond December 31, 

2014. EPA will incorporate the 

modifications into EMTS version 4.1, 

which is scheduled to be deployed by 

April 1, 2015. From January 1, 2015 

until the release of version 4.1, EMTS 

will not be able to support 2012 RIN 

transactions. Please note that 2012 RIN 

holding data stored in EMTS is safe and 

will be preserved even though it will 

not be accessible during the period from 

January 1, 2015 until the release of 

version 4.1. 

Dated: November 21, 2014.

Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and 

Radiation.

Summary 

1. On November 19, 2014, the 

Satellite Industry Association (SIA) filed 

a motion to extend the comment 

deadline in the above-captioned 

proceeding from December 16, 2014 

until January 15, 2015. SIA also 

requested that the deadline for filing 

reply comments be extended from 

January 15, 2015 to February 17, 2015. 

SIA asserts that analyzing bands for 

spectrum sharing with widely-deployed 

mobile wireless services requires 

extensive analysis and review and notes 

that the Commission is seeking 

comment on multiple bands in which 

satellite operations are authorized. 

According to SIA, each of these bands 

is unique and requires an analysis of 

current and future satellite operations. 

James E. Whedbee supports the SIA 

Motion. 

2. It is the general policy of the 

Commission that extensions of time 

shall not be routinely granted. Under 

these circumstances, however, we agree 

that an extension of time to file 

comments and reply comments is 

warranted to ensure that the 

Commission obtains a complete and 

thorough record in response to the NOI. 

The NOI is the first step in a process to 

examine the use of new, innovative 

technologies that could enable the use 

of frequencies above 24 GHz for mobile 

services. The NOI seeks comment on a 

wide variety of novel technical, policy 

and legal issues related to the possible 

use of bands above 24 GHz for mobile 

services. We conclude that a short 

extension of time is warranted to enable 

interested parties sufficient opportunity 

to review and respond to the complex 

issues raised by the NOI, to ultimately 

help the Commission ‘‘discern what 

frequency bands above 24 GHz would 

be most suitable for mobile services, and 

to begin developing a record on mobile 

service rules and a licensing framework 

for mobile services in those bands.’’ 

3. Accordingly, pursuant to section 

4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended, and § 1.46 of the 

Commission’s rules, we extend the 

deadline for filing comments until 

January 15, 2015. We also extend the 

deadline for filing reply comments until 

February 17, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s 

document in PS Docket No. 07–114, DA 

14–1680, released on November 20, 

2014. This document is available to the

fcc-seeks-comment-indoor-locationaccuracy-roadmap. 

Synopsis 

1. By this document the Bureau seeks 

comment on the ‘‘Roadmap for 

Improving E911 Location Accuracy’’ 

(Roadmap), filed in the E911 Location 

Accuracy proceeding by APCO, NENA, 

AT&T Mobility, Sprint, T-Mobile USA, 

and Verizon (Parties). 

2. The Roadmap was filed in response 

to the Third Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking in this proceeding, in 

which the Commission proposed 

measures and timeframes to improve 

location accuracy for 911 calls 

originating indoors, including proposals 

related to horizontal and vertical 

location of callers. The Commission also 

‘‘encourage[d] industry, public safety 

entities, and other stakeholders to work 

collaboratively to develop alternative 

proposals for our consideration.’’ The 

Parties assert that the Roadmap ‘‘marks 

a new course using indoor technologies 

to deliver a ‘dispatchable location’ for 

indoor 9–1–1 calls’’ and that it 

‘‘contrasts with current and proposed 

outdoor technologies that provide 

estimates of location and face challenges 

with indoor location accuracy.’’ The 

Parties further state that ‘‘the Roadmap 

commits to meaningful improvements 

and FCC-enforceable timeframes to 

deliver effective location solutions.’’ We 

also note that some public safety 

organizations have submitted ex parte 

filings critical of the Roadmap and 

supportive of the original proposals in 

the Third Further Notice. 

3. While the Commission has already 

received numerous comments and 

compiled an extensive record in this 

proceeding, we believe that seeking 

expedited comment on the Roadmap is 

appropriate in light of the important 

public safety issues addressed in this 

proceeding and in order to ensure a 

complete and comprehensive record.
