requirements are included for facilities 

located in the hypoxic zone. The 

analytical method for analysis of 

cadmium in barite is included. A new

miscellaneous discharges which are 

authorized. The toxicity limit for subsea fluids was decreased from

200 mg/l to 50 mg/l. Non-lethal effects 

are required to be reported for chronic 

toxicity testing and the dilution series 

required for testing was clarified. A 

number of minor typographical errors 

and clarifications were also made to the

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid 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 (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before November 8, 

2004. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments 

regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act 

submission to Judith B. Herman, Federal 

Communications Commission, Room 1–

C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554 or 

via the Internet to JudithB.Herman@fcc.gov.

additional information or copies of the 

information collection(s), contact Judith 

B. Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the 

Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0806. 

Title: Universal Service—Schools and 

Libraries Universal Service Program. 

Form Nos: FCC Forms 470 and 471. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

state, local and tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 60,000. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .166–

4.5 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, third party 

disclosure requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 480,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: Not applicable. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not 

applicable. 

Needs and Uses: In the Fifth Report 

and Order in CC Docket No. 02–6, FCC 

04–190, adopted on August 4, 2004 and 

released on August 13, 2004, the 

Commission is revising this collection 

pursuant to suggestions from the 

Department of Justice, in an effort to 

prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of the 

schools and libraries program. The 

changes made to the FCC Forms 470 and 

471 will make the E-Rate process more 

transparent, and will make 

transgressions of the law easier to detect 

and prosecute. For example, on the FCC 

Form 470, applicants must now certify 

that they have not ‘‘received anything of 

value or a promise of anything of value, 

other than services and equipment 

sought by means of the form, from the 

service provider * * *’’ Similarly, in 

the FCC Form 471, applicants must now 

certify that ‘‘no kickbacks were paid to 

anyone * * *.’’ Finally, we are seeking 

OMB approval for an additional 

reporting element, i.e., the FCC 

Registration Number (FRN). As part of 

the review process of Funding Year 

2005, the Administrator will be 

collecting the FRN from applicants to 

supplement their application. The 

Commission will implement a revised 

FCC Forms 470 and 471 to include 

collection of the FRN starting with 

Funding Year 2006.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
