Notification of a Closed 

Teleconference of the Chartered 

Science Advisory Board 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency’s (EPA), Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office is announcing 

a teleconference of the Chartered SAB to 

conduct a review of two draft reports of 

recommendations regarding the 

agency’s 2013 and 2014 Scientific and 

Technological Achievement Awards 

(STAA). The Chartered SAB 

teleconference will be closed to the 

public. 

DATES: The Chartered SAB 

teleconference date is Monday, January 

26, 2015, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. 

(Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The Chartered SAB closed 

teleconference will take place via 

telephone only. General information 

about the SAB may be found on the SAB 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Members of the public who wish to 

obtain further information regarding this 

announcement may contact Angela 

Nugent, Designated Federal Officer, by 

telephone: (202) 564–2218 or email at 

nugent.angela@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, 

and section (c)(6) of the Government in 

the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), 

the EPA has determined that the 

chartered SAB quality review 

teleconference will be closed to the 

public. The purpose of the 

teleconference is for the chartered SAB 

to conduct a review of two draft reports 

of recommendations regarding the 

agency’s 2013 and 2014 STAA. The 

Chartered SAB teleconference will be 

closed to the public. 

Quality review is a key function of the 

chartered SAB. Draft reports prepared 

by SAB committees, panels, or work 

groups must be reviewed and approved 

by the chartered SAB before transmittal 

to the EPA Administrator. The chartered 

SAB makes a determination in a 

meeting consistent with FACA about all 

draft reports and determines whether 

the report is ready to be transmitted to 

the EPA Administrator. 

At the teleconference, the chartered 

SAB will conduct reviews for two draft 

reports developed by an SAB committee 

charged with developing 

recommendations regarding the 

agency’s STAA. The first draft report 

focuses on review of additional agency 

recommendations for the 2013 awards. 

Although the chartered SAB reviewed 

the agency’s 2013 STAA nominations 

and provided advice regarding those 

nominations in January 2014 (for more 

information, see http://yosemite.epa.

gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_

activites/2013%20STAA%20Review

?OpenDocument), the agency later 

identified additional nominations for 

SAB review. The second draft report 

focuses on the agency’s 2014 STAA 

nominations (for more information, see 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.

nsf/fedrgstr_activites/2014%20STAA

%20Review?OpenDocument). 

The STAA awards are established to 

honor and recognize EPA employees 

who have made outstanding 

contributions in the advancement of 

science and technology through their 

research and development activities, as 

exhibited in publication of their results 

in peer reviewed journals. I have 

determined that the Chartered SAB 

quality review teleconference will be 

closed to the public because it is 

concerned with recommending 

employees deserving of awards. In 

making these draft recommendations, 

the EPA requires full and frank advice 

from the SAB. This advice will involve 

professional judgments on the relative

merits of various employees and their 

respective work. Such personnel matters 

involve the discussion of information 

that is of a personal nature, the 

disclosure of which would be a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy and, therefore, is protected from 

disclosure by section (c)(6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Minutes of the 

Chartered SAB teleconference will be 

certified by the chair and retained in the 

public record.

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 (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S. C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communication 

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 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. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before February 17, 

2015. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@

fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Nicole 

Ongele at (202) 418–2991. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1200. 

Title: Rural Broadband Experiments 

and Post-Selection Review of Rural 

Broadband Experiment Winning 

Bidders. 

Form Number: FCC Form 5610 and 

FCC Form 5620. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

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

Number of Respondents: 500 

respondents; 520 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5–10 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: One-time and 

occasional reporting requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151–154 and 

254. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,700 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost(s). 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information collected in FCC Form 5610 

will be confidential until provisionally 

selected bidders are announced. At that 

time, the proposals submitted by 

provisionally selected bidders will be 

made publicly available. All other 

proposals submitted will remain 

confidential. Information collected in 

FCC Form 5620 will be confidential. 

Needs and Uses: Under this 

information collection, the Commission 

proposes to collect information to 

determine applicants that will be 

selected to participate in the rural 

broadband experiments and whether 

provisionally selected bidders are 

technically and financially capable of 

receiving funding for rural broadband 

experiment projects. To aid in collecting 

this information regarding the rural 

broadband experiments, the 

Commission has created FCC Form 5610 

and FCC Form 5620, which applicants 

will use to apply to participate in the 

rural broadband experiments. These 

forms will be available electronically 

through the Internet and electronic 

filing will be required. This information 

will be used to determine which 

applicants submit the most-cost 

effective proposals in each funding 

category and whether provisionally 

selected bidders have the technical and 

financial qualifications to successfully 

complete the proposed project within 

the required timeframes. The 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended requires the ‘‘preservation and 

advancement of universal service.’’ 

The information collection 

requirements reported under this 

collection are the result of various 

Commission actions to promote the 

Act’s universal service goals, while 

minimizing waste, fraud, and abuse.
