1 Number of months after the effective date of the testing consent order. 2 Interim reports are required every 6 months from the effective date until the final report is submitted. This column shows the

number of interim reports required for each test. 3 This study must be conducted if the Agency determines that the results of the reproductive/developmental screening test

show statistically or biologically significant adverse reproductive or developmental effects. If the results of the reproductive/developmental screening test are equivocal, the 2-generation reproductive/developmental study will not be required unless the Agency

concludes that the use of HDI may present an unreasonsable risk to human health or the environment in light of (1) a weight-ofthe-evidence evaluation of HDI’s reproductive/developmental effects, and (2) worker exposure practices and/or manufacturer

product stewardship activities. The Agency shall, in any event, provide the Panel with an opportunity to meet and discuss the

screening test results with the Agency before making a determination under this paragraph. 4 Figure indicates the reporting deadline, in months, calculated from the date of notification to the test sponsor by certified letter of FEDERAL REGISTER notice that the Agency has determined this required testing must be performed.

V. Export Notification

At a later date EPA will propose to

amend 40 CFR 799.5000 by adding HDI

to the list of chemicals subject to testing

consent orders, thereby subjecting all

persons who export or who intend to

export HDI, of any purity, to the export

notification requirements of section

12(b) of TSCA.

COMMISSION

Public Information Collections

Approved by Office of Management

and Budget

September 19, 1997.

The Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) has received Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

approval for the following public

information collections pursuant to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub.

L. 104–13. An agency may not conduct

or sponsor and a person is not required

to respond to a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid

control number. For further information

contact Shoko B. Hair, Federal

Communications Commission, (202)

418–1379.

Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060–0292.

Expiration Date: 09/30/2000.

Title: Access Charges—Part 69.

Form No.: N/A.

Respondents: Business or other for

profit.

Estimated Annual Burden: 1458

respondents; 23.19 hours per response

(avg.); 33,825 total annual burden hours

for all collections.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.

Frequency of Response: On occasion;

semi-annually; monthly; one-time

requirement.

Description: Part 69 of the

Commission’s rules and regulations

establishes the rules for access charges

for interstate or foreign access provided

by telephone companies on or after

January 1, 1984. Part 69 essentially

consists of rules or the procedures for

the computation of access charges.

Section 69.3 requires the annual

submission of access charge tariffs.

Section 69.116(c) and 69.117(c) require

local exchange carriers to file

information with NECA semi-annually

pertaining to the number of lines in

their study areas and the interexchange

carriers to which such lines are

presubscribed. This information will be

used by NECA to assess revenue

requirements needed to fund the

Universal Service Fund and Lifeline

Assistance programs. (No. of

respondents: 1458; hours per response:

5 hrs.; total annual hours: 14,580 hrs.).

Section 69.104(k)(1) requires that a state

or local telephone company wishing to

implement an end user common line

reduction or waiver for its subscribers

file information with the Commission

demonstrating that its state lifeline

assistance plan meets certain criteria.

This is an one-time filing requirement.

(No. of respondents: 50; hours per

response: 20 hrs.; total annual burden

1000 hrs.). Section 69.104(1) requires

local telephone carriers to calculate for

NECA their projected revenue

requirements for the lifeline assistance

program. (No. of respondents: 1459;

hours per response: 3.5 hrs; total annual

burden: 5103 hrs). Section 69.605

requires carriers who are participating

in the pool to report access revenues

and cost data so that NECA may

compute monthly pool revenues

distributions. (No. of respondents: 1548;

hours per response: .75 hrs; total annual

burden: 13,122 hrs). The information is

used to compute charges in tariffs for

access service (or origination and

termination) and to compute revenue

pool distributions. Neither process

could be implemented without the

information. You are required to

respond.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0577.

Expiration Date: 09/30/2000.

Title: Expanded Interconnection with

Local Telephone Company Facilities.

Form No.: N/A.

Respondents: Business or other for

profit.

Estimated Annual Burden: 16

respondents; 15 hours per response

(avg.); 240 total annual burden hours for

all collections.

Estimated Annual Reporting and

Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $10,000.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Description: In September 1992, the

Commission adopted an order requiring

Tier 1 local exchange carriers (LECs),

excluding NECA pool members, to offer

expanded interconnection for special

access to all interested parties,

permitting competitors and high volume

users to terminate their own

transmission facilities at LEC central

offices. (Special Access Order, CC

Docket No. 91–141, Expanded

Interconnection with Local Telephone

Company Facilities). Under the rules

adopted in the Special Access Order,

Tier 1 LECs (those with over $100

million in annual regulated revenues for

a sustained period of time), except for

NECA pool members, are required to

provide physical collocation to all

interconnectors that request it, with

exemptions for LEC offices that do not

have enough space for physical

collocation, and, under certain

circumstances, for states with regulatory

policies favoring virtual collocation or

LEC choice of the form of collocation.

Interconnectors and LECs will be free to

negotiate virtual collocation

arrangements if both parties prefer such

arrangements over physical collocation.

In the Second Memorandum Opinion

and Order on Reconsideration in CC

Docket No. 91–141 (Reconsideration

Order), the Commission reconsidered

some of the particularly time-sensitive

requirements of the Special Access

Order. In particular, the Reconsideration

Order reconsiders de novo the fresh look

issues addressed in the Special Access

Order, clarifies and expands the

Commission’s requirements concerning

the application of nonrecurring charges,

modifies the requirement for tariffing

virtual collocation arrangements, and

specifies certain standards that must be

met for a connection charge rate

structure to be considered reasonable. In

order to comply with these

requirements, Tier 1 LECs will have to

make certain tariff revisions. In

addition, LECs must make tariff filings

to provide public notice of the start of

the ‘‘fresh look’’ period at each of their
