Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 190 / Friday, October 2, 2009 / Notices 50967 

1. Two published reports of 

completed, pre-rule research on the 

effects of exposure to pesticides 

containing pyrethrins/pyrethroids. EPA 

requests the advice of the HSRB on the 

scientific merit, relevancy, and 

limitations of these studies, and on their 

ethical acceptability. EPA intends to 

incorporate into a future revision of the 

EPA White Paper, ‘‘A Review of the 

Relationship between Pyrethrins, 

Pyrethroid Exposure and Asthma and 

Allergies,’’ a discussion of either or both 

of these studies if they are deemed to be 

scientifically sound, relevant and 

ethically acceptable. 

2. A proposal for new research to be 

conducted by Carroll-Loye Biological 

Research to evaluate in the laboratory 

the repellent efficacy to ticks of two 

registered products containing 20% 

picaridin. EPA requests the advice of 

the HSRB concerning whether, if it is 

revised as suggested in EPA’s review 

and if it is performed as described, this 

research is likely to generate 

scientifically reliable data, useful for 

assessing the efficacy of the tested 

materials in repelling ticks, and to meet 

the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 

part 26, subparts K and L. 

3. A new scenario design and 

associated protocol from the 

Antimicrobials Exposure Assessment 

Task Force II (AEATF–II), describing 

proposed research to monitor at three 

sites the dermal and inhalation 

exposure of professional janitorial 

workers who apply an antimicrobial 

pesticide formulated as an aerosol 

spray. EPA requests the advice of the 

HSRB concerning whether, if it is 

revised as suggested in EPA’s review 

and if it is performed as described, this 

research is likely to generate 

scientifically reliable data, useful for 

assessing the exposure of those who 

apply antimicrobial pesticides as 

aerosols, and to meet the applicable 

requirements of 40 CFR part 26, 

subparts K and L. 

In addition, the Board will be 

reviewing its draft June 24–25, 2009, 

meeting report for subsequent Board 

approval. Finally, the HSRB may also 

discuss planning for future HSRB 

meetings. 

b. Meeting minutes and reports. 

Minutes of the meeting, summarizing 

the matters discussed and 

recommendations, if any, made by the 

advisory committee regarding such 

matters, will be released within 90 

calendar days of the meeting. Such 

minutes will be available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ and http:// 

www.regulations.gov. In addition, 

information concerning a Board meeting 

report, if applicable, can be found at 

http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ or from

In order to determine which carriers

all (both rural and non–rural) 

incumbent local exchange 

carriers(LECs) must provide the 

National Exchange Carrier Association 

(NECA) with the loop cost and loop 

count data required by 47 CFR 63.611 of 

the Commission’s rules for each of its 

study areas and, if applicable, for each 

wire center (that term is defined in 47 

CFR Part 54). 

Loops are the telephone lines running 

from the carrier’s switching facilities to 

the customer. The loop cost and loop 

count information is to be field annually 

with NECA by July 31st of each year, 

and may be updated quarterly pursuant 

to 47 CFR 63.612. Pursuant to section 

36.613, the information filed on July 

31st of each year will be used to 

calculate universal service support for 

each study area and is filed by NECA 

with the Commission by October 1 of 

each year. An incumbent LEC is define 

as a carrier that meets the definition of 

‘‘incumbent local exchange carrier’’ in 

47 CFR 51.5 of the Commission’s rules. 

Section 63.612(a) also requires non– 

rural carriers to file loop counts (no loop 

cost data) on a quarterly basis. The 

Commission requires that non–rural 

carriers submit quarterly loop counts in 

order to ensure that universal service 

fund (USF) support for non–rural 

carriers is accurately calculated when 

competitive eligible 

telecommunications carriers (ETCs) are 

present in the incumbent LECs’ 

operating areas. Quarterly loop cost and 

loop count data filings are voluntary for 

rural carriers. When a competitive ETC, 

however, is operating in an incumbent 

rural carrier’s territory, the incumbent 

rural carrier is required to submit 

quarterly loop count data. Quarterly 

filings of loop counts are necessary 

because if an incumbent rural carrier 

does not update its loop count data 

more often than annually, but its 

competitor does, the competitor’s more 

recent data may include loops captured 

from the incumbent since the 

incumbent’s last filing. Thus, the 

incumbent would continue to receive 

USF support at the same per line 

support amount that the incumbent LEC 

receives in the same operating territory. 

In order to receive such support, the 

competitive ETC must file loop count 

data with the USAC on a quarterly basis. 

The reporting requirements are 

necessary to implement the 

congressional mandate for universal 

service. The requirements are necessary 

to verify that rural and non–rural LECs 

are eligible to receive universal service 

support. Information filed with NECA 

pursuant to section 36.611 is used to 

calculate universal service support 

payments to eligible carriers. Without 

this information, NECA and USAC 

(Universal Service Administration 

Company) would not be able to 

calculate such payments to eligible 

carriers.
