nominations of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups.

The EPA SAB Staff Office will acknowledge receipt of nominations. The names and biosketches of qualified nominees identified by respondents to this Federal Register notice, and additional experts identified by the SAB Staff, will be posted in a List of Candidates on the CASAC Web site at http://www.epa.gov/casac. Public comments on this List of Candidates will be accepted for 21 days. The public will be requested to provide relevant information or other documentation on nominees that the SAB Staff Office should consider in evaluating candidates.

For the EPA SAB Staff Office a balanced review panel includes candidates who possess the necessary domains of knowledge, the relevant scientific perspectives (which, among other factors, can be influenced by work history and affiliation), and the collective breadth of experience to adequately address the charge. In forming this expert panel, the SAB Staff Office will consider public comments on the List of Candidates, information provided by the candidates themselves, and background information independently gathered by the SAB Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used for panel membership include: (a) Scientific and/or technical expertise, knowledge, and experience (primary factors); (b) availability and willingness to serve; (c) absence of financial conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an appearance of a lack of impartiality; (e) skills working in committees, subcommittees and advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as a whole, diversity of expertise and viewpoints.

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of an absence of financial conflicts of interest will include a review of the ‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 48). This confidential form allows government officials to determine whether there is a statutory conflict between a person’s public responsibilities (which includes membership on an EPA federal advisory committee) and private interests and activities, or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, as defined by federal regulation. The form may be viewed and downloaded from the following URL address http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ epaform3110-48.pdf.

The approved policy under which the EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees and review panels is described in the following document: Overview of the Panel Formation Process at the Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–EC– 02–010), which is posted on the SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ ec02010.pdf.

Dated: January 28, 2015. Thomas Brennan, Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

**TSCA Sections 402(a), 402(c), and 406(b) Program Authorization** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice; final approval.

**SUMMARY :**  On May 19, 2014, the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa (Bois Forte) submitted a complete application under section 404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requesting authorization to administer and enforce the requirements for TSCA sections 402(a), 402(c), and 406(b) in accordance with the provisions of TSCA for trust lands located within the exterior boundaries of the reservation. Notice of the Bois Forte application, a solicitation for public comment regarding the application and background information supporting the application was published in the Federal Register of June 23, 2014. Today’s notice announces the approval of Bois Forte’s application, and the authorization of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa’s TSCA sections 402(a), 402(c) and 406(b) programs, to apply on the Bois Forte reservation, effective November 13, 2014, in lieu of the corresponding federal programs.

**DATES :**  Lead-based paint activities and renovation program authorization was granted to the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa effective on November 13,
2014.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Emma Avant, Land and Chemicals Division (LCD), Toxics Section, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 W. Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604; telephone number: (312) 886– 7899; email address: avant.emma@

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background
Pursuant to Title IV of TSCA, Lead Exposure Reduction, 15 U.S.C. 2681– 2692, and regulations promulgated thereunder, States and Tribes that choose to apply for authorization of a lead-based paint activities program (TSCA Section 402(a) and 40 CFR part 745, subpart L) and a renovation program (TSCA Sections 402(c) and 406(b) and 40 CFR part 745, subpart E) must submit a complete application to the appropriate Regional EPA office for review. Complete, final applications will be subject to a public comment period, and reviewed by EPA within 180 days of receipt. To receive EPA approval, a State or Tribe must demonstrate that its program is at least as protective of human health and the environment as the federal program, and will provide for adequate enforcement. As determined by EPA’s review and assessment, the Bois Forte application successfully demonstrated that the Tribe’s lead-based paint activities and renovation programs achieve the protectiveness and enforcement criteria, and have otherwise satisfied the statutory criteria required for federal authorization. Furthermore, no public comments were received, during or following the public comment period, regarding any aspect of the Bois Forte application. EPA announced solicitation for public comment regarding the application in the Federal Register of June 23, 2014 (79 FR 35540) (FRL– 9912–59–Region 5: EPA–R05–OPPT– 2014–0360). II. Federal Overfilling

Section 404(b) of TSCA makes it unlawful for any person to violate, or fail or refuse to comply with, any requirement of an approved State or Tribal program. Therefore, EPA reserves the right to exercise its enforcement authority under TSCA against a violation of, or a failure or refusal to comply with, any requirement of the Bois Forte Lead Program to the extent that such requirement is consistent with federal law.

III. Withdrawal of Authorization

Pursuant to TSCA section 404(c), 15 U.S.C. 2684(c), the Administrator may withdraw a State or Tribal program authorization, after notice and opportunity for corrective action, if the program is not being administered or enforced in compliance with standards, regulations and other requirements established under the authorization. The procedures EPA will follow for the withdrawal of an authorization are found at 40 CFR 745.324(i).

IV. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

Certain Acts and Executive Orders

EPA’s actions on State or Tribal leadbased paint activities, renovation, and pre-renovation education program applications are informal adjudications, not rules. Therefore, this action:

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);

• Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. );

• Does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. );

• Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L.104–4);

• Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);

• Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);

• Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);

• Is not subject to the requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because this action does not involve technical standards; and

• Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

This action does have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Although this action is not a regulatory, legislative or policy action, and although this action will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law, this action may be considered an ‘‘other’’ action as included in the definition of ‘‘Policies that have tribal implications’’ in Section 1 of Executive Order 13175. In the process that lead to this action, EPA adhered to the criteria in Section 3, as applicable, in Executive Order
13175. List of Subjects
Environmental Protection, Hazardous Substances, Lead, Renovation Notification, Reporting and Recordkeeping requirements.

**Information Collections Being Reviewed by the Federal**  **Communications Commission Under Delegated** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Communications Commission.

**ACTION :**  Notice and request for
comments.

**SUMMARY :**  As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collections. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission’s burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.

**DATES :**  Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 6, 2015. 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 PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@ fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality and respondents are not being asked to submit confidential information to the Commission.

Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.37(d) requires an applicant for a new AM broadcast station, or for a major change in an authorized AM broadcast station, to make a satisfactory showing that objectionable interference will not result to an authorized AM station as a condition for its acceptance if new or modified nighttime operation by a Class B station is proposed. 47 CFR 73.37(f) requires applicants seeking facilities modification that would result in spacing that fail to meet any of the separation requirements to include a showing that an adjustment has been made to the radiated signal which effectively results in a site-to-site radiation that is equivalent to the radiation of a station with standard Model I facilities. FCC staff use the data to ensure that objectionable interference will not be caused to other authorized AM stations.
