POAs, $0.20 per mile for POAs when a 

Government furnished automobile is 

authorized, $1.26 per mile for privately 

owned airplanes, $0.55 per mile for 

privately owned motorcycles, and $0.20 

per mile for moving purposes), pursuant 

to the process discussed above. This 

notice of subject bulletin is the only 

notification to agencies of revisions to 

the POV mileage rates for official travel, 

and relocation, other than the changes 

posted on GSA’s website. 

GSA posts the POV mileage 

reimbursement rates, formerly 

published in 41 CFR Chapter 301, solely 

on the internet at www.gsa.gov/mileage. 

Also posted on this site is the standard 

mileage rate for moving purposes. This 

process, implemented in FTR 

Amendment 2010–07, 75 FR 72965 

(November 29, 2010), FTR Amendment 

2007–03, 72 FR 35187 (June 27, 2007), 

and FTR Amendment 2007–06, 72 FR 

70234 (December 11, 2007), ensures 

more timely updates regarding mileage 

reimbursement rates by GSA for federal 

employees who are on official travel or 

relocating. Notices published 

periodically in the Federal Register, 

such as this one, and the changes posted 

on the GSA website, now constitute the 

only notification to federal agencies of 

revisions to the POV mileage 

reimbursement rates and the standard 

mileage reimbursement rate for moving 

purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

A request for public comments was 

published in the Federal Register at 81 

FR 62434 on September 9, 2016, as part 

of a proposed rule under GSAR Case 

2015–G503. No comments were 

received on the information collection. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35) does apply because 

the final rule contains six clauses and 

provisions with information collection 

requirements. However, five of these 

clauses and provisions do not impose 

additional information collection 

requirements to the paperwork burden 

previously approved under existing 

OMB Control Numbers. Only one of the 

six involves information collection 

requirements that have not previously 

been approved by OMB. 

The new clause at GSAR 552.236–72 

Submittals involves an existing 

information collection requirement that 

has never been previously approved by 

OMB. The information collected is used 

by PBS to evaluate a contractor’s 

proposals, negotiate contract 

modifications, evaluate a contractor’s 

progress, and review payment requests 

during contract administration. The 

clause was previously GSAR 552.236– 

78 Shop Drawings, Coordination 

Drawings, and Schedules. The clause is 

simplified, including removing the 

requirement for a specific number of 

prints and copies of various submittals. 

This simplification will ease the 

compliance burden for the contractor 

during contract administration from the 

current state. 

Public reporting burden for GSAR 

552.236–72 Submittals is estimated to 

average 8 hours per response, including 

the time for reviewing instructions, 

searching existing data sources, 

gathering and maintaining the data 

needed, and completing and reviewing 

the collection of information. 

The annual reporting burden is 

estimated as follows: 

Respondents: 3,758. 

Responses per respondent: 1. 

Total annual responses: 3,758. 

Preparation hours per response: 8. 

Total response burden hours: 30,064. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from 

the General Services Administration, 

Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 

1800 F Street NW, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Exposure Characterization and 

Measurements during Activities 

Conducted on Synthetic Turf Fields 

with Tire Crumb Rubber Infill—New— 

Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR). 

Background and Brief Description 

Currently in the United States, there 

are more than 12,000 synthetic turf 

fields in use. While the Synthetic Turf 

Council has set guidelines for the 

content of crumb rubber used as infill in 

synthetic turf fields, manufacturing 

processes result in differences among 

types of crumb rubber. Additionally, the 

chemical composition may vary highly 

between different processes and source 

materials and may vary even within 

granules from the same origin. 

The research protocol, Collections 

Related to Synthetic Turf Fields with 

Crumb Rubber Infill, has been 

conducted previously under two ICRs: 

Activity 1 under OMB Control No. 

0923–0054 (expiration date 01/31/2017) 

and Activities 2 and 3 under OMB 

Control No. 0923–0058 (expiration date 

08/13/2018). Activity 1 aimed to collect 

tire crumb rubber samples from 40 

synthetic turf fields across the US and 

from nine manufacturing facilities. 

Samples collection for Activity 1 was 

completed in November 2016. Activities 

2 and 3 aim to evaluate and characterize 

the human exposure potential to 

constituents in crumb rubber infill 

among a convenience sample of 60 field 

users (Activity 2) and to collect 

biological specimens (blood and urine) 

from 45 participants (Activity 3). During 

Activities 2 and 3, ATSDR and USEPA 

recruited and sampled a small number 

of field users in scheduled activities at 

fields that participated in Activity 1. 

However, the pilot scale study was 

limited in sample size and scope. 

The agencies are requesting a new 

information collection request (ICR) for 

a two-year PRA clearance to conduct a 

supplemental data collection, now titled 

‘‘Exposure Characterization and 

Measurements during Activities 

Conducted on Synthetic Turf Fields 

with Tire Crumb Rubber Infill’’. 

Preliminary results from the pilot scale 

study indicate the need for further 

investigation for a select group of 

chemicals to which field users may 

potentially be exposed. The proposed 

study will be a larger-scale assessment 

of exposure potential for individuals 

who use/play on synthetic turf fields 

with tire crumb rubber infill that will 

address key limitations; specifically, the 

sample size limitations in the pilot scale 

study and the lack of a comparison 

population. The study will include 

persons who use synthetic turf fields 

with crumb rubber infill (e.g., field 

users) and who routinely perform 

activities that would result in a high 

level of contact to crumb rubber. The 

study will also include persons who 

play on natural grass fields. Persons
