pathogens in drinking water under the 

Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). MRAs 

also support the development of healthbased ambient water quality criteria and 

biosolids criteria under the Clean Water 

Act (CWA). These criteria protect 

against adverse human exposures to 

infectious disease microorganisms in 

recreational waters, shellfish growing 

waters, and wastewater biosolids. 

Because of the importance of MRAs, 

OW developed a Microbial Risk 

Assessment Framework and is 

developing a draft Protocol for Microbial 

Risk Assessment to Support Human 

Health Protection for Water-Based 

Media to provide Agency guidance for 

performing microbial risk assessments. 

Current Agency risk assessment 

guidance is geared towards chemical 

risk assessment. MRAs do not fit easily 

within that framework because of 

microbial and host factors that do not 

affect chemical risk assessments. A 

separate protocol is needed to help risk 

assessors address these factors in a 

consistent way. 

The draft Protocol for Microbial Risk 

Assessment to Support Human Health 

Protection for Water-Based Media will 

be used as guidance for preparing 

qualitative or quantitative MRAs for 

recreational water exposures, evaluation 

of biosolids application to land, and 

drinking water regulation development 

applications. OW may also make the 

Protocol available to States, nongovernmental organizations, and 

international agencies to use in 

conducting risk assessments related to 

water media. In addition to supporting 

new regulations under the SDWA and 

supporting the development of criteria 

under the CWA, the MRA Protocol may 

also be used for a number of different 

applications such as assessing the 

potential human health risks associated 

with a known pathogen, determining 

critical control points for risk 

mitigation/control measures, identifying 

and prioritizing research and 

development, assisting in 

epidemiological investigations, and 

determining consequences of 

management options to reduce risk. 

The Office of Water is requesting that 

the SAB provide advice on the draft 

Protocol for Microbial Risk Assessment 

to Support Human Health Protection for 

Water-Based Media and to provide 

recommendations on: how to improve 

the overall approach, the applicability 

of the Protocol, the reasonableness of 

the protocol, the clarity of the Protocol, 

the completeness and robustness of the 

protocol, and the ease of use of the 

Protocol for conducting water-based 

microbial risk assessments. 

The SAB DWC will also discuss its 

draft advisory report on the Agency’s 

supporting analysis for the proposed 

revised Total Coliform Rule during this 

meeting. The Committee met previously 

on May 20, 2009 and on June 9–June 10, 

2009 to deliberate on the Agency’s 

charge questions regarding the 

supporting analysis. A Federal Register 

Notice dated May 1, 2009 (74 FR 20297– 

20298) announced these meetings and 

provided background information on 

this advisory activity. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

meeting agenda and other materials, 

including a link to access the EPA 

review document(s) related to the draft 

Protocol for Microbial Risk Assessment 

to Support Human Health Protection for 

Water-Based Media and draft advisory

Needs and Uses: On July 31, 2009, the 

Federal Communications Commission 

(’’Commission’’) released an Order on 

Reconsideration titled, ‘‘In the Matter of 

the Procedures to Govern the Use of 

Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels 

in the 5925–6425 MHz/ 3700–4200 MHz 

Bands and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2 

GHz Bands’’ (FCC 09–63), IB Docket No. 

02–10 (‘‘ESV Reconsideration Order’’). 

In the ESV Reconsideration Order, the 

Commission resolved various concerns 

raised regarding the operational 

restrictions placed on ESVs that are 

designed to protect the fixed–satellite 

service (FSS), operating in the C–band 

and Ku–band, and the terrestrially– 

based fixed service (FS), operating in 

the C–band, from harmful interference. 

The Commission adopted rule changes 

that should provide ESV operators with 

greater operational flexibility while 

continuing to ensure that the other 

services in these bands are protected 

from harmful interference. 

The PRA information collection 

requirements contained in the ESV 

Reconsideration Order are as follows: 

1. Any ESV applicant that uses 

transmitters with off–axis EIRP densities 

lower than or equal to the off–axis EIRP 

limits must: (1) file three tables showing 

the off–axis EIRP level of the proposed 

earth station antenna in the direction of 

the plane of the GSO; the co–polarized 

EIRP in the elevation plane, that is, the 

plane perpendicular to the plane of the 

GSO; and cross polarized EIRP. In each 

table, the EIRP level must be provided 

at increments of 0.1° for angles between 

0° and 10° off–axis, and at increments 

of 5° for angles between 10° and 180° 

off–axis or; (2) a certification, in 

Schedule B, that the ESV antenna 

conforms to the gain pattern criteria of 

§ 25.209(a) and (b), that, combined with 

the maximum input power density 

calculated from the EIRP density less 

the antenna gain, which is entered in 

Schedule B, demonstrates that the off– 

axis EIRP spectral density envelope will 

be met under the assumption that the 

antenna is pointed at the target satellite. 

2. An ESV applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter that will 

maintain a pointing error of less than or 

equal to 0.2° must provide a 

certification from the equipment 

manufacturer stating that the antenna 

tracking system will maintain a pointing 

error of less than or equal to 0.2° 

between the orbital location of the target 

satellite and the axis of the main lobe of 

the ESV antenna and that the antenna 

tracking system is capable of ceasing 

emissions within 100 milliseconds if the 

angle between the orbital location of the 

target satellite and the axis of the main 

lobe of the ESV antenna exceeds 0.5°. 

3. An ESV applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter with an 

antenna pointing error of greater than 

0.2 degrees must: (A) declare, in its 

application, a maximum antenna 

pointing error and demonstrate that the 

maximum antenna pointing error can be 

achieved without exceeding the off–axis 

EIRP spectral–density limits in 

paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section; and 

(B) demonstrate that the ESV transmitter 

can detect if the transmitter exceeds the 

declared maximum antenna pointing 

error and can cease transmission within 

100 milliseconds if the angle between 

the orbital location of the target satellite 

and the axis of the main lobe of the ESV 

antenna exceeds the declared maximum 

antenna pointing error, and will not 

resume transmissions until the angle 

between the orbital location of the target 

satellite and the axis of the main lobe of 

the ESV antenna is less than or equal to 

the declared maximum antenna 

pointing error. 

4. An ESV applicant proposing to 

implement a transmitter that exceeds 

the off–axis EIRP spectral–density limits 

shall provide the following 

certifications and demonstration as 

exhibits to its earth station application: 

(i) a statement from the target satellite 

operator certifying that the proposed 

operation of the ESV has the potential 

to create harmful interference to satellite 

networks adjacent to the target 

satellite(s) that may be unacceptable; (ii) 

a statement from the target satellite 

operator certifying that the power– 

density levels that the ESV applicant 

provided to the target satellite operator 

are consistent with the existing 

coordination agreements between its 

satellite(s) and the adjacent satellite 

systems within 6° of orbital separation 

from its satellite(s); (iii) a statement 

from the target satellite operator 

certifying that it will include the 

power–density levels of the ESV 

applicant in all future coordination 

agreements; (iv) A demonstration from 

the ESV operator that the ESV system is 

capable of detecting and automatically 

ceasing emissions within 100 

milliseconds when the transmitter 

exceeds the off–axis EIRP spectral– 

densities supplied to the target satellite 

operator; and (v) a certification from the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
41700 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 18, 2009 / Notices 

ESV operator that the ESV system 

complies with the power limits in 

Section 25.204(h). 

5. The point of contact information 

referred to in paragraph (a)(3) and, if 

applicable, paragraph (a)(6), of Sections 

25.221 and 25.222, must be included in 

the application. 

The information collection 

requirements accounted for in this 

collection are necessary to determine 

the technical and legal qualifications of 

applicants or licensees to operate a 

station, transfer or assign a license, and 

to determine whether the authorization 

is in the public interest, convenience 

and necessity. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

determine whether to permit 

respondents to provide 

telecommunication services in the U.S. 

Therefore, the Commission would be 

unable to fulfill its statutory 

responsibilities in accordance with the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, and the obligations imposed 

on parties to the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom 

Agreement.
