withdraw or withhold consent to the 

proposed settlement agreement if the 

comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or 

the Department of Justice determines 

that consent to this settlement 

agreement should be withdrawn, the 

terms of the agreement will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement Agreement 

A. How can I get a copy of the 

settlement agreement? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2010–1057) contains a 

copy of the proposed settlement 

agreement. The official public docket is 

available for public viewing at the 

Office of Environmental Information 

(OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA Docket Center Public 

Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Public Reading Room is 

(202) 566–1744, and the telephone 

number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566– 

1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through http:// 

www.regulations.gov. You may use 

http://www.regulations.gov to submit or 

view public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and to access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, key in the appropriate docket 

identification number then select 

‘‘search’’. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or on paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov without change, 

unless the comment contains 

copyrighted material, CBI, or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the http://www.regulations.gov 

Web site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through http://www.regulations.gov, 

your e-mail address is automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the official 

public docket, and made available in 

EPA’s electronic public docket.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Submitted for 

Review and Approval to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), 

Comments Requested 

December 21, 2010. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to comment 

on the following information collection. 

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; (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; and (e) ways to 

further reduce the information 

collection burden for 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 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before January 31, 2011. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the FCC contact listed below as 

soon as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 

Management and Budget, via fax at 202– 

395–5167 or the Internet at

If you are unable to submit your 

comments by e-mail, contact the person

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information, contact Judith B. 

Herman at 202–418–0214 or via the 

Internet at Judith-b.herman@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1094. 

Title: Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and Part 4 

of the Commission’s Rules Concerning 

Disruptions to Communications 

(NORS). 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

state, local or tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 71 

respondents; 139 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 

154, 218, 219, 256, 301, 302, 303, 403 

and 621. 

Total Annual Burden: 19,738 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In accordance with 47CFR 4.2 of the 

Commission’s rules, reports under Part 

4 are presumed confidential. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection (IC) to the OMB during this 

comment period. The Commission is 

seeking OMB approval for an extension 

(there are no changes to the reporting 

requirement). The Commission is 

reporting a significant increase of 10,100 

total annual burden hours. This is due 

to a recalculation of our burden 

estimates and fewer respondents 

reporting information. The estimated 

number of respondents fluctuates 

because of the type of event to be 

reported and the location where it 

occurred. 

In recognition of the critical need for 

rapid, full, and accurate information on 

service disruptions that could affect 

homeland security, public health and 

safety, as well as the economic wellbeing of our Nation, and in view of the 

increasing importance of non-wireline 

communications in the Nation’s 

communications networks, and critical 

infrastructure, the Commission adopted 

rules requiring mandatory service 

disruptions reporting from all 

communications providers (cable, 

satellite, wireline and wireless) that 

provide voice and/or paging 

communications. As envisioned, the 

information collected pursuant to these 

rules has helped improve network 

reliability. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1139. 

Title: Residential Fixed Broadband 

Services Testing and Measurement. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households and business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 11,016 

respondents; 11,016 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

estimated time per response is 1 hour 

for respondents based on a 10 minute 

initial sign-up for the panel; 30 minutes 

to connect and install the hardware 

appliance; and two 10-minute contacts 

to be conducted by the vendor over the 

course of the study period. The 16 ISP 

partners participating in the study is 

estimated at 200 hours per respondent 

per partner for all participation 

activities. 

Frequency of Response: Biennial 

reporting requirement and third party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in the Broadband 

Data Improvement Act of 2008, Public 

Law 110–385, Stat 4096 § 103(c)(1). 

Total Annual Burden: 14,200 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: This 

information collection affects 

individuals or households. However, 

the collection of personally identifiable 

information (PII) is not being collected, 

made available or accessible by the 

Commission but instead by third parties 

including SamKnows, a third party 

contractor and ISP Partners. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

No personally identifiable information 

(PII) will be transmitted to the 

Commission from the contractor as a 

matter of vendor policy. SamKnows 

maintains a series of administrative, 

technical, and physical safeguards to 

protect against the transmission of 

personally identifying information. At 

point of registration, individuals will be 

given full disclosure in a ‘‘privacy 

statement’’ highlighting what 

information will be collected. ISP 

Partners will receive personally 

identifying information about 

volunteers to confirm the validity of the 

information against their subscription 

records, but will be bound by a nondisclosure agreement that will maintain 

various administrative, technical and 

physical safeguards to protect the 

information and limit its use. ISP 

Partners will provide support to the 

testing program will likewise be bound 

to the same series of administrative, 

technical and physical safeguards 

developed by SamKnows. In addition, 

all third parties supporting the program 

directly will be bound by a ‘‘Code of 

Conduct’’ to ensure that all participate 

and act in good faith. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this expiring information 

collection (IC) to the OMB during this 

comment period. The Commission is 

requesting OMB approval for an 

extension (no change in the reporting 

and/or third party disclosure 

requirements). There is no change in the 

Commission’s burden estimates that 

were submitted and approved by OMB 

on October 4, 2010. 

The Broadband Data Improvement 

Act of 2008, Public Law 110–385, Stat 

4096 § 103(c)(1) directs the Commission 

to collect information on the type of 

technology used to provide broadband 

to consumers, the price of such services, 

actual transmission speeds, and the 

reasons for non-adoption of broadband 

service. 

The collection of information is 

necessary to complete research done for 

the Broadband Plan on key consumer 

issues including transparency and 

actual speeds and performance of 

broadband service.
