SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

108 of the CPSIA permanently prohibits 

the sale of any ‘‘children’s toy or child 

care article’’ containing more than 0.1 

percent of each of three specified 

phthalates: Di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 

(DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and 

benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Section 

108 of the CPSIA also prohibits, on an 

interim basis, the sale of any ‘‘children’s 

toy that can be placed in a child’s 

mouth’’ or ‘‘child care article’’ containing 

more than 0.1 percent of each of three 

additional phthalates: diisononyl 

phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate 

(DIDP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP). 

Moreover, section 108 of the CPSIA 

requires the Commission to convene a 

CHAP ‘‘to study the effects on children’s 

health of all phthalates and phthalate 

alternatives as used in children’s toys 

and child care articles.’’ The CPSIA 

requires the CHAP to complete an 

examination of the full range of 

phthalates that are used in products for 

children and: 

• Examine all of the potential health 

effects (including endocrine disrupting 

effects) of the full range of phthalates; 

• Consider the potential health effects of 

each of these phthalates, both in isolation 

and in combination with other phthalates; 

• Examine the likely levels of children’s, 

pregnant women’s, and others’ exposure to 

phthalates, based on a reasonable estimation 

of normal and foreseeable use and abuse of 

such products; 

• Consider the cumulative effect of total 

exposure to phthalates, both from children’s 

products and from other sources, such as 

personal care products; 

• Review all relevant data, including the 

most recent, best-available, peer-reviewed, 

scientific studies of these phthalates and 

phthalate alternatives that employ objective 

data collection practices or employ other 

objective methods; 

• Consider the health effects of phthalates 

not only from ingestion but also as a result 

of dermal, hand-to-mouth, or other exposure; 

• Consider the level at which there is a 

reasonable certainty of no harm to children, 

pregnant women, or other susceptible 

individuals and their offspring, considering 

the best available science, and using 

sufficient safety factors to account for 

uncertainties regarding exposure and 

susceptibility of children, pregnant women, 

and other potentially susceptible individuals; 

and 

• Consider possible similar health effects 

of phthalate alternatives used in children’s 

toys and child care articles. 

The CHAP’s examination must be 

conducted de novo, and the CPSIA 

contemplates completion of the CHAP’s 

examination within 18 months of the 

CHAP’s appointment. The CHAP must 

review prior work on phthalates by the 

Commission, but it is not to be 

considered determinative. 

The CHAP must make 

recommendations to the Commission 

regarding any phthalates (or 

combinations of phthalates) in addition 

to those identified in section 108 of the 

CPSIA or phthalate alternatives that the 

panel determines should be prohibited 

from use in children’s toys or child care 

articles or otherwise restricted. The 

CHAP members were selected by the 

Commission from scientists nominated 

by the National Academy of Sciences. 

See 15 U.S.C. 2077, 2030(b). 

The CHAP previously met April 14 

and 15, 2010, and July 26 and 28, 2010, 

at the Commission’s offices in Bethesda, 

MD. The CHAP is holding a 

teleconference on November 15, 2010, 

in preparation for its next meeting 

December 2 through 3, 2010. The 

November teleconference and December 

meeting will include discussions of 

possible risk assessment approaches.

Annual Burden Hours: 17,850. 

Number of Respondents: 51,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 21 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection 

Respondents are representatives of 

Federal and non-Federal government 

agencies, community groups, non-profit 

organizations, and civic organizations 

requesting Department of Defense 

support for patriotic events conducted 

in the civilian domain. DD Forms 2535 

and 2536 record the type of military 

support requested event data, and 

sponsoring organization information. 

The completed forms provide the 

Department of Defense the minimum 

information necessary to determine 

whether an event is eligible for military 

participation and whether the desired 

support is permissible and/or available. 

If the forms are not provided, the review 

process is greatly increased because the 

Department of Defense must make 

additional written and telephonic 

inquiries with the event sponsor. In 

addition, use of the forms reduces the 

event sponsor’s preparation time 

because the forms provide a detailed 

outline of information required, 

eliminate the need for a detailed letter, 

and contain concise information 

necessary for determining 

appropriateness of military support. 

DD–2535 responses (requests for aerial 

participation) will be submitted via an 

Internet web portal, reducing the time 

for the Department of Defense to process 

requests and providing the respondents 

the ability to monitor the status and 

disposition of their requests. DD–2536 

responses requesting Department of 

Defense musical Units and musicians 

will also be submitted and processed 

using the Internet web portal. Use of the 

forms is essential to reduce preparation 

and processing time, increase 

productivity, and maximize 

responsiveness to the public.

AGENCY: Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Renewal of Federal Advisory 

Committee. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 905 of Title IX, the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 

U.S.C. Appendix), the Government in 

the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 

552b), and 41 CFR 102–3.50, the 

Department of Defense gives notice that 

it is renewing the charter for the 

Missouri River (South Dakota) Task 

Force (hereafter referred to as the Task 

Force). 

The Task Force is a non-discretionary 

federal advisory committee established 

to provide independent advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary of the 

Army on plans and projects to reduce 

siltation of the Missouri River in the 

State of South Dakota and to meet the 

objectives of the Pick-Sloan Program. 

Specifically, the Task Force’s duties, set

paragraphs (c)–(e) and include the 

following tasks: 

a. Prepare and approve, by a majority 

of the members, a plan for the use of the 

funds made available under Public Law 

106–541, to promote conservation 

practices in the Missouri River 

watershed, control and remove the 

sediment from the Missouri River, 

protect recreation on the Missouri River 

from sedimentation, and protect Indian 

and non-Indian historical and cultural 

sites along the Missouri River from 

erosion; 

b. Develop and recommend to the 

Secretary of the Army for 

implementation, critical restoration 

projects meeting the goals of the plan; 

and 

c. Determine if these projects 

primarily benefit the Federal 

Government. 

The Secretary of the Army may act 

upon the Task Force’s advice and 

recommendations. 

As prescribed by Public Law 106–541, 

the Task Force shall be composed of not 

more than twenty nine members. 

Specifically, the Task Force

Secretary of the Army as representative 

members to the Task Force. 

All Task Force members shall be 

appointed for two-year terms and 

generally will serve no more than four 

years total on the Task Force, or as 

determined by the Secretary of the 

Army or designee. However, each 

member appointed to a term 

appointment must have his or her 

appointment renewed annually by the 

Secretary of Defense. 

Task Force members shall, with the 

exception of travel and per diem for 

official travel, serve without 

compensation. 

With DoD approval, the Task Force is 

authorized to establish subcommittees, 

as necessary and consistent with its 

mission. These subcommittees shall 

operate under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972, the Government in the Sunshine 

Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and other 

governing Federal statutes and 

regulations. 

Such subcommittees or workgroups 

shall not work independently of the 

chartered Task Force, and shall report 

all their recommendations and advice to 

the Task Force for full deliberation and 

discussion. Subcommittees have no 

authority to make decisions on behalf of 

the chartered Task Force, nor can they 

report directly to the Department of 

Defense or any Federal officers or 

employees who are not Task Force 

members.
