ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The First Responder Network 

Authority (‘‘FirstNet’’) announces its 

intent to prepare a Supplemental 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement (‘‘PEIS’’) and conduct scoping 

for the Nationwide Public Safety 

Broadband Network. The Supplemental 

PEIS will address the processes FirstNet 

will follow for National Environmental 

Policy Act (‘‘NEPA’’) compliance and 

assessing potential impacts at the sitespecific scale. 

DATES: The scoping period for this 

notice will begin on September 25, 2017 

and will end on October 24, 2017. 

Submit comments on or before October 

24, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: The public is invited to 

submit written comments to this Notice. 

Written comments may be submitted 

electronically via email to 

PEIScomments@firstnet.gov or by mail 

(to the address listed in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT). Comments 

received will be made part of the public 

record and may be posted to FirstNet’s 

Web site (www.firstnet.gov) without 

change. Comments should be machine 

readable and should not be copyprotected. All personally identifiable 

information (e.g., name, address) 

voluntarily submitted by the commenter 

may be publicly accessible. Do not

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Middle Class Tax Relief and Job 

Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–96, 

Title VI, 126 Stat. 256 (codified at 47 

U.S.C. 1401 et seq.)) (the ‘‘Act’’) created 

and authorized FirstNet to take all 

actions necessary to ensure the building, 

deployment, and operation of an 

interoperable, nationwide public safety 

broadband network (‘‘NPSBN’’) based 

on a single, national network 

architecture. The Act meets a 

longstanding and critical national 

infrastructure need, to create a single, 

nationwide network that will, for the 

first time, allow police officers, fire 

fighters, emergency medical service 

professionals, and other public safety 

entities to effectively communicate with 

each other across agencies and 

jurisdictions. The NPSBN is intended to 

enhance the ability of the public safety 

community to perform more reliably, 

effectively, and safely; increase 

situational awareness during an 

emergency; and improve the ability of 

the public safety community to 

effectively engage in those critical 

activities. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347) 

(‘‘NEPA’’) requires federal agencies to 

undertake an assessment of 

environmental effects of their proposed 

actions prior to making a final decision 

and implementing the action. NEPA 

requirements apply to any federal 

project, decision, or action that may 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment. NEPA also 

establishes the Council on 

Environmental Quality (‘‘CEQ’’), which 

issued regulations implementing the 

procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

parts 1500–1508). 

Due to the geographic scope of 

FirstNet (all 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, and five territories) and the 

diversity of ecosystems potentially 

traversed by the project, FirstNet has 

prepared, and is in the process of 

publishing, five regional Final PEISs. 

The five Final PEISs are divided into the 

East, Central, West, South, and NonContiguous Regions, and each analyzes 

potential impacts of the deployment and 

operation of the NPSBN on the natural 

and human environment based on 

impact significance criteria developed at 

the programmatic level. FirstNet has 

also recently prepared and published for 

public and agency comment a draft 

document outlining its revised 

Procedures for Implementing the 

National Environmental Policy Act, the 

public comment period for which ended 

July 24, 2017. 

Now that FirstNet has selected a 

network partner for building out the 

NPSBN and the draft revised 

implementing procedures have been 

published, a Supplemental PEIS will be 

prepared that will (1) incorporate the 

final version of FirstNet’s revised 

implementing procedures and will 

assess any changes to potential impacts 

to the human or natural environment at 

the programmatic level as a result of 

those revised procedures and (2) will 

describe the processes FirstNet will 

follow in accordance with NEPA to 

assess potential impacts at the sitespecific scale using impact significance 

criteria to be developed using a 

resource-appropriate framework.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 23—Erie 

County, New York; Notification of 

Proposed Production Activity; 

Cummins, Inc.; (Diesel and Gas 

Engines); Lakewood and Jamestown, 

New York 

The Erie County Industrial 

Development Agency, grantee of FTZ 

23, submitted a notification of proposed 

production activity to the FTZ Board on 

behalf of Cummins, Inc. (Cummins), 

located within Subzone 23D in 

Lakewood and Jamestown, New York. 

The notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on August 28, 2017. 

The Cummins facility is used for the 

production of diesel and gas engines. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 

activity would be limited to the specific 

foreign-status materials and components 

and specific finished products described 

in the submitted notification (as 

described below) and subsequently 

authorized by the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt Cummins from customs 

duty payments on the foreign-status 

components used in export production. 

On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted 

below, Cummins would be able to 

choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to: 

Automotive diesel and natural gas 

engines; industrial diesel engines; 

stationary generator diesel engines; and, 

recreational marine diesel engines (duty 

free to 2.5%). Cummins would be able 

to avoid duty on foreign-status 

components which become scrap/waste. 

Customs duties also could possibly be 

deferred or reduced on foreign-status 

production equipment. 

The components and materials 

sourced from abroad include: 

Accumulators; adapters (air inlet/filter 

head/hydraulic pump/spline); cylinder 

blocks; steel and iron braces (bracket/ 

fuel pump/gear housing/tube); brackets 

(belt tensioner/breather/electronic 

control module/lifting/shipping/transfer 

pump); main bearing caps; steel injector 

clamps; ignition coils; exhaust collars;
