Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 4, 2007 / Notices 16359 

Paper discussing the results of 

Syngenta’s amphibian studies 

conducted in 2005 - 2006. In addition, 

EPA has continued to review the open 

literature studies investigating whether 

atrazine exposure affects amphibian 

gonadal development. For this second 

SAP meeting, EPA plans to include only 

those studies that tested atrazine alone 

and examined atrazine’s potential 

effects on amphibian gonadal 

development. Studies on mixtures of 

pesticides that include atrazine as well 

as studies of the potential for atrazine to 

cause adverse effects other than or in 

addition to amphibian gonadal 

development are not being considered 

for the SAP meeting. 

In this Federal Register Notice, EPA is 

soliciting public comment on the 

completeness of its list of open 

literature studies on the potential effects 

of atrazine on amphibian gonadal 

development. If other publications 

relevant to these potential effects are 

available and have not been included in 

this list, EPA requests that citations be 

submitted during the comment period. 

If possible, a copy of the publication 

should be submitted as well. 

EPA has reviewed the following list of 

relevant open literature studies in 

preparation for the October SAP 

meeting:

Title: Qualification Questions. 

Form No.: FCC Form 312–EZ. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 3,872 

respondents; 38,720 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 10 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 38,720 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $9,874,000.

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to OMB as an extension during this 

comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them. There is no 

change in the number of respondents,

The FCC Form 312–EZ, Qualification 

Questions, is used by applicants for the 

C-band and Ku-band earth stations (noncommon carrier applicants) who are 

eligible for the ‘‘auto-grant’’ procedure. 

Under the ‘‘auto-grant process’’ the 

International Bureau of the FCC 

automatically grants ‘‘routine’’ earth 

station applications proposing to use the 

C-band or Ku-band. To be considered 

‘‘routine’’, earth station must meet a 

number of requirements, including 

primarily the following: (1) The earth 

station antenna must meet certain 

minimum diameter requirements; (2) 

the proposed earth station must meet 

the antenna performance standard and 

power limitations contained in Part 25 

of the Commission’s rules; (3) the earth 

station must be coordinated as required 

by Part 25; (4) the applicant seeks to 

communicate only with satellites 

authorized to provide service in the 

United States; and (5) the proposed 

station is otherwise consistent with the 

Commission’s legal requirements. 

This information collection is used by 

Commission staff in carrying out its 

duties concerning satellite 

communications as required by Sections 

301, 308, 309, and 310 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. It is also used by the 

Commission staff in carrying out its 

duties under the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom 

Agreement. Without such information, 

the Commission could not determine 

whether to permit respondents to 

provide telecommunications services in 

the United States.
