SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background Information on the IRIS 

Handbook 

The ‘‘ORD Staff Handbook for 

Developing IRIS Assessments,’’ or ‘‘IRIS 

Handbook,’’ provides operating 

procedures for developing assessments 

to the scientists in the IRIS Program. 

The IRIS Handbook implements 

recommendations and input from the 

National Academy of Sciences, 

Engineering and Medicine (NASEM), 

EPA Agency reviewers, other Federal 

Agencies, EPA’s Science Advisory 

Board, and workshops involving input 

from experts in systematic review. The 

steps in the overall IRIS process have 

not changed (https://www.epa.gov/iris/ 

basic-information-about-integrated-riskinformation-system#process). The IRIS 

Handbook is designed so that it can be 

updated, as needed, to allow for 

incorporation of method refinements, 

advances in assessment science, and 

any updates in EPA guidance (see

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 Office of 

Management and Budget (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.

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will use the information collected on 

FCC Form 680 to determine whether a 

winning bidder is qualified to receive 

Mobility Fund Phase I and Tribal 

Mobility Fund Phase I support. On 

November 18, 2011, the Commission 

released an order comprehensively 

reforming and modernizing the 

universal service and intercarrier 

compensation systems to ensure that 

robust, affordable voice and broadband 

service, both fixed and mobile, are 

available to Americans throughout the 

nation. Connect America Fund et al., 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, FCC 11–161 (USF/ICC 

Transformation Order). In the USF/ICC 

Transformation Order, the Commission, 

among other things, created the Mobility 

Fund to ensure the availability of 

mobile broadband networks in areas 

where a private-sector business case is 

lacking. Phase I of the Mobility Fund 

provided one-time universal service 

support for the deployment of networks 

for mobile voice and broadband service, 

and a separate, complementary Tribal 

Mobility Fund Phase I provided onetime universal service support to 

accelerate the availability of mobile 

voice and broadband service on Tribal 

lands. 

The Commission adopted rules to 

implement the reforms it adopted in the 

USF/ICC Transformation Order, 

including the rules in sections 

1.21004(a), 54.1004, 54.1005, 54.1006, 

54.1007, and 54.1008 which contain 

information collection requirements 

used to determine whether a winning 

bidder of Mobility Fund Phase I support 

and Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I 

support is qualified to receive such 

support. 

Section 1.21004(a) of the 

Commission’s rules requires each 

winning bidder in an auction for 

universal service support to apply for 

the support it won by the applicable 

deadline. Sections 54.1005(b) and 

54.1006 require a winning bidder to 

submit, using FCC Form 680, ownership 

information, proof of its status as an 

Eligible Telecommunications Carrier, a 

description of its spectrum access, a 

detailed project description, any 

guarantee of performance that the 

Commission may require, and various 

certifications. Sections 54.1004(d)(3) 

and 54.1008(d) require a winning bidder 

to certify in its application that it has 

substantively engaged appropriate 

Tribal officials. In addition, sections 

54.1007(a) and (b) require a winning 

bidder to obtain and submit to the 

Commission an irrevocable standby 

letter of credit, which the winning 

bidder must maintain until at least 120 

days after the winning bidder receives 

its final distribution of support. 

The information collection 

requirements ensure that a winning 

bidder submits an application for the
