Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2020 / Notices 85633 

C. Purpose of the e-Manifest Advisory 

Board 

The Hazardous Waste Electronic 

Manifest System Advisory Board is 

established in accordance with the 

provisions of the Hazardous Waste 

Electronic Manifest Establishment Act, 

42 U.S.C. 6939g, and the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C. App.2. The e-Manifest Advisory 

Board is in the public interest and 

supports the EPA in performing its 

duties and responsibilities. The Board 

shall meet annually to discuss, evaluate 

the effectiveness of, and provide 

recommendations about the system to 

the EPA Administrator. 

The sole duty of the Advisory Board 

is to provide advice and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator. As required by the eManifest Act, the e-Manifest Advisory 

Board is composed of nine (9) members. 

One (1) member is the EPA 

Administrator (or a designee), who 

serves as Chairperson of the Advisory 

Board. The rest of the committee is 

composed of: 

• At least two (2) members who have 

expertise in information technology; 

• At least three (3) members who 

have experience in using or represent 

users of the manifest system to track the 

transportation of hazardous waste under 

the e-Manifest Act; 

• At least three (3) members who are 

state representatives responsible for 

processing manifests. 

All members of the e-Manifest 

Advisory Board, except for the EPA 

Administrator, are appointed as Special 

Government Employees or 

Representatives. 

D. Public Meeting 

EPA launched the e-Manifest system 

on June 30, 2018. e-Manifest provides 

those persons required to use a Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

manifest under either federal or state 

law the option of using electronic 

manifests to track shipments of 

hazardous waste and to meet certain 

RCRA requirements. By enabling the 

transition from a paper-intensive 

process to an electronic system, EPA 

estimates e-Manifest will ultimately 

save state and industry users more than 

$50 million annually, once electronic 

manifests are widely adopted. 

Under the Hazardous Waste 

Electronic Manifest Establishment Act 

(e-Manifest Act) of 2012, EPA must 

collect user fees to offset the costs of 

developing and operating the e-Manifest 

system. In January 2018, EPA published 

regulations establishing the 

methodology which the Agency will use 

to set and collect user fees for the eManifest system. Under the final rule, 

EPA charges a fee to receiving facilities 

for each manifest submitted to EPA’s eManifest system. User fees are tailored 

to the method used to submit manifests 

to EPA, e.g., different fees apply for 

electronic manifests than for paper 

manifests uploaded to the system. In 

addition, EPA is required to publish 

revised user fee schedules at two-year 

intervals. 

The purpose of this March 2–4, 2021, 

e-Manifest Advisory Board meeting is 

for the Board to advise EPA on its 

proposed program priorities and user 

fees for the FY2022/FY2023 cycle. 

E. e-Manifest Advisory Board 

Documents and Meeting Minutes 

The meeting background paper along 

with related supporting materials 

including the charge/questions to the 

Advisory Board, the Advisory Board 

membership roster (i.e., members 

attending this meeting), and the meeting 

agenda will be available by 

approximately mid-January 2021. In 

addition, EPA may provide additional 

background documents as the materials 

become available. You may obtain 

electronic copies of these documents, 

and certain other related documents that

Submarine Outage Data. 

Form Number: Not applicable. 

Type of Review: New information 

collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 75 respondents; 336

154(i)–(j) & (o), 405, and the Cable 

Landing License Act of 1921, 47 U.S.C. 

34–39, and 3 U.S.C. 301, and Exec. 

Order No. 10530. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,016 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Outage reports filed with the 

Commission pursuant to Part 4 are 

presumed confidential. The information 

in those filings may be shared with the 

Department of Homeland Security only 

under appropriate confidential 

disclosure protections. Other persons 

seeking disclosure must follow the 

procedures delineated in 47 CFR 0.457 

and 0.459 for requests for and disclosure 

of information. The information 

collection discussed here does not affect 

the confidential treatment of 

information submitted to the 

Commission’s Network Outage 

Reporting System (NORS), an internet 

portal that collects submitted outage 

filings. 

Needs and Uses: Section 151 of the 

Communications Act of 1934 (Act), as 

amended, requires the Commission to 

promote the safety of life and property 

through the use of wire and radio 

communications. Additionally, the 

Cable Landing License Act, (47 U.S.C. 

34–39), and Executive Order 10530, 

provide the Commission with authority 

to grant, withhold, condition and revoke 

submarine cable landing licenses. 

Further, the Cable Landing License Act 

and Executive Order 10530 provide that 

the Commission may place conditions 

on the grant of a submarine cable 

landing license in order to assure just 

and reasonable rates and service in the 

operation and use of cables so licensed. 

‘‘Just and reasonable service’’ entails 

assurance that the cable infrastructure 

will be reasonably available. 

Availability of submarine cables is also 

critically important for national security 

and the economy because submarine 

cables carry approximately 95 percent of 

international communications traffic 

and are the primary means of 

connectivity for numerous U.S. states 

and territories. Currently, submarine 

cable licensees provide information to 

the Commission on a voluntary, ad hoc 

basis through the Undersea Cable 

Information System (UCIS). 

This is a new collection that will be 

part of the Commission’s NORS outage 

reporting regime. As with the other 

information collection collected in 

NORS (under OMB Control No. 3060– 

0484), this new collection will facilitate 

FCC monitoring, analysis, and 

investigation of the reliability and 

security of submarine cable networks, 

and to identify and action on potential 

threats to our Nation’s 

telecommunications infrastructure. 

Drawing from a decade of experience in 

outage reporting, the Commission will 

seek an ongoing dialogue with 

submarine cable licensees, as well as 

with the industry at large, regarding 

lessons learned from the new 

information collection. These efforts 

will help the Commission develop a 

better understanding of the root causes 

of significant outages, and to explore 

preventive measures to mitigate the 

impact of such outages on the Nation 

and the American public. 

The addition of mandatory submarine 

cable outage data will provide the 

Commission with greater visibility into 

the availability and health of these 

networks, allowing the Commission to 

better track and analyze submarine 

cable resiliency. This enhanced 

visibility into submarine cable network 

outages will allow the Commission to 

take appropriate actions to mitigate 

disruptions, if necessary, and to avoid 

the development of larger, more 

significant problems which could 

impact national security and public 

safety interests. Submarine cable

outages do not typically occur with the 

same frequency as terrestrial outages, 

but when they do occur have a greater 

impact on the Nation’s 

telecommunications due to the volume 

and nature of communications carried 

over such cables. Damages to submarine 

cables are usually caused by weather or 

inadvertent slicing by underseas 

equipment. However, submarine cables 

are also susceptible to intentional 

damage for nefarious purposes that 

could lead to a severe degradation of 

crucial government, as well as nongovernment, communications.

Office of Economics and Analytics 

Reminds Providers That Form 477 

Mobile Speed and Coverage Data Are 

Not Confidential 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this Public Notice, the 

Office of Economics and Analytics 

(Office) reminds mobile broadband 

service providers that their minimum 

advertised or expected speed data are 

not confidential on FCC Form 477, 

notwithstanding checkbox options in 

the Form 477 filing application. 

DATES: The Commission issued this 

Public Notice on December 7, 2020. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications 

Commission, 45 L Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20554. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kenneth Lynch, Chief, Industry 

Analysis Division, Office of Economics 

and Analytics, (202) 418–7356, 

Kenneth.Lynch@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Economics and Analytics (Office) 

reminds mobile broadband service 

providers that their minimum 

advertised or expected speed data are no 

longer treated as confidential on FCC 

Form 477. Speed data will be included 

in the public releases of providerspecific coverage data, beginning with 

the December 2019 filing. 

In the Digital Opportunity Data 

Collection First Report and Order, the 

Commission concluded that minimum 

advertised or expected speed data filed 

for mobile broadband services will not 

be treated as confidential and that such 

data will be publicly released. The 

Commission found that the bulk of 

speed data that providers filed had been 

treated as confidential and that such 

treatment ‘‘unnecessarily limits the 

ability of consumers and policy makers 

to effectively analyze the data 

submitted.’’ The Commission also 

concluded that public release of 

provider-specific coverage data is 

‘‘necessary to ensure that consumers can 

easily use the information that is 

disclosed to the public’’ because speed 

data are ‘‘only beneficial if consumers 

know where the service coverage is 

available.’’ 

The Commission already makes 

provider-specific coverage data publicly 

available on its website by publishing 

each provider’s shapefiles, and Form 

477 filers are no longer permitted to 

request confidential treatment for such 

information. As the Commission did not 

subsequently and immediately update 

the Form 477 filing application to 

remove the checkbox used to request 

confidential treatment of these data, 

some providers may mistakenly believe 

that confidentiality is available for such 

data. 

Accordingly, the Office reiterates that, 

notwithstanding the presence of the 

checkbox in the Form 477 filing 

application, the Commission has 

concluded that these data will not be 

treated as confidential. Moreover, the 

corresponding Form 477 information 

that was included in the December 2019 

and June 2020 filings will be released no 

sooner than ten (10) days after Federal 

Register publication of this Public 

Notice.
