II. Background 

On April 2, 2002, the Center for 

Biological Diversity (CBD) filed a 

lawsuit in Federal District Court for the 

Northern District of California, alleging 

that EPA failed to comply with section 

7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act by 

not ensuring that its registration of 66 

named pesticide active ingredients will 

not affect the California red-legged frog, 

a federally-listed threatened species. 

CBD, EPA, and defendant-intervenors 

CropLife America, American Forest and 

Paper Association, Western Plant Health 

Association, Oregonians for Food and 

Shelter, and Syngenta Crop Protection, 

Inc. engaged in discussions to try to 

resolve the case. 

On September 1, 2006, EPA issued a 

notice in the Federal Register (71 FR 

52073; FRL–8090–9), announcing the 

availability of a proposed Stipulated 

Injunction, and opening a 15–day public 

comment period on the draft. EPA 

received numerous comments from the 

public, California state agencies, and 

others, regarding certain aspects of the 

proposed Stipulated Injunction. These 

comments, as well as the proposed and 

final versions of the Stipulated 

Injunction, are available at 

regulations.gov in the public docket, ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2006– 0702. 

Based on public comments received 

and subsequent discussion with CBD 

and defendant-intervenors, the federal 

government agreed to the Stipulated 

Injunction with a modification to the 

definition of ‘‘upland habitat’’ in section 

3(b) of the injunction to conform this 

definition, which applies outside 

designated critical habitat, with the 

definition of ‘‘upland habitat’’ used by 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in its 

designation of critical habitat for this 

species (71 FR 19244-19346, April 13, 

2006). 

On October, 13, 2006, the Federal 

Government joined CBD and defendantintervenors in asking the Court to issue 

a Stipulated Injunction resolving the 

lawsuit. The Court ordered the 

Stipulated Injunction on October 20, 

2006. The key provisions of the 

Stipulated Injunction are listed below. 

1. Schedule for effects determinations: 

The Stipulated Injunction establishes a 

series of deadlines for the Agency to 

make ‘‘effects determinations’’ for 66 

named pesticides to determine their 

potential effect on the California redlegged frog (a threatened species native 

to California). 

2. Interim injunctive relief: The 

Stipulated Injunction also (with some 

exceptions) enjoins, vacates and sets 

aside EPA’s authorization of uses of the 

66 pesticides in certain parts of 33 

counties in California. The injunctive 

relief, vacatur, and setting aside of 

EPA’s authorizations would terminate 

for a particular use of a pesticide when 

the Agency makes a determination that 

the pesticide’s use has ‘‘no effect’’ on 

the California red-legged frog, or, where 

EPA determined the pesticide’s use may 

affect the species, when EPA completes 

consultation with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service. 

3. Development and distribution of a 

bilingual brochure: The injunction also 

requires EPA to develop and distribute 

a bilingual (English and Spanish) 

brochure regarding certain aspects of the 

injunction, the California red-legged 

frog and frogs in general, and pesticides. 

EPA is required to distribute this 

brochure to all commercial certified 

applicators within California; to all 

private certified applicators residing in 

counties where use authorizations have 

been set aside; to registrants of the 66 

pesticides; the California Departments 

of Pesticide Regulation, and Fish and 

Game; and the Pacific Region of U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, 

EPA is to distribute 250 copies of the 

brochure to the County Agricultural 

Commissioner and Cooperative 

Extension Agent offices in the affected 

counties. 

In addition to distributing the 

bilingual brochure as required by the 

Stipulated Injunction, EPA has made 

this brochure available on its Web site 

(www.epa.gov/espp). Further, EPA has 

developed and posted on its Web site 

maps of the areas in California where 

the injunctive relief applies and 

information to assist pesticide users in 

determining whether particular areas 

are within the scope of the Stipulated 

Injunction. The full text of the 

Stipulated Injunction and other related 

materials are also available at that Web 

site.

EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE

Economic Impact Policy 

This notice is to inform the public 

that the Export-Import Bank of the 

United States has received an 

application to finance the export of 

approximately $29.5 million in U.S. 

machine tooling equipment to a 

company in China. The U.S. exports 

will enable the Chinese company to 

establish production of 180 metalstamping dies per year. These products 

will be utilized by companies in China 

to manufacture medium- to large-sized 

auto body parts. A portion of this new 

production will be employed internally 

by the Chinese company itself to 

manufacture medium-to large-sized auto 

body parts for sale to Chinese 

automobile manufacturers/assemblers. 

No automobiles will be produced by 

this Chinese firm. This Chinese 

company’s average annual production 

capacity of auto body parts will be 

enough to contribute to the production 

of approximately 380,000 automobiles 

per year during the 7-year repayment 

term of the loan. Available information 

indicates that all of this new Chinese 

production will be consumed in China.

Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104–13. 

An agency may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid 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 control number. 

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; and (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. 

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before May 25, 2007. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0261. 

Title: Section 90.215, Transmitter 

Measurements. 

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: 191,698 

respondents; 450,754 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 

minutes (.033 hours). 

Frequency of Response: 

Recordkeeping requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Total Annual Burden: 4,958 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to OMB as an extension (no change in 

recordkeeping requirements) during this 

comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them. The 

Commission has adjusted the number of 

respondents and total annual burden 

hours due to an increase in the number 

of licensees subject to this rule 

requirement. 

Section 90.215 requires station 

licensees to measure the carrier 

frequency, output power, and 

modulation of each transmitter 

authorized to operate with power in 

excess of two watts when the 

transmitter is initially installed and 

when any changes are made which 

would likely affect the modulation 

characteristics. Such measurements, 

which help ensure proper operation of 

transmitters, are to be made by a 

qualified engineering measurement 

service, and are required to be retained 

in the station records, along with the 

name and address of the engineering 

measurement service, and the person 

making the measurements. 

The information is normally used by 

the licensee to ensure that equipment is 

operating within the prescribed 

tolerances. Prior technical operation of 

transmitters helps limit interference to 

other users and provides the licensee 

with the maximum possible utilization 

of equipment.
