27000 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2018 / Notices 

EPA invites the public to provide 

additional comment and information 

that would be useful in conducting the 

risk evaluation for each of the 10 

chemical substances. 

B. The Application of Systematic 

Review in TSCA Risk Evaluations 

The Application of Systematic Review 

in TSCA Risk Evaluations document is 

a supplemental publication which sets 

out general principles to guide EPA’s 

application of systematic review in the 

risk evaluation process for the first 10 

chemical substances that EPA initiated 

on December 19, 2016, as well as future 

assessments. It also provides the 

intended strategy for assessing the 

quality of information that the Agency 

plans to use for the TSCA risk 

evaluations. 

The Agency intends to implement a 

structured process of identifying, 

evaluating and integrating evidence for 

both the hazard and exposure 

assessments developed during the TSCA 

risk evaluation process. As needed, EPA 

will develop new approaches and 

methods to address specific assessment 

needs for the relatively large and diverse 

chemical space under TSCA. Hence, the 

Agency will document the progress of 

implementing systematic review in the 

draft risk evaluations and through 

revisions of this document and 

publication of supplemental documents. 

The systematic review document 

provides the general expectations for 

evidence integration. Further additional 

information will be published with the 

publication of the draft TSCA risk 

evaluations. 

Ultimately, the goal is to establish a 

pragmatic systematic review process 

that generates high quality, fit-forpurpose risk evaluations that rely on the 

best available science and the weight of 

the scientific evidence within the 

context of TSCA. 

This document is a living document 

which may be revised periodically. EPA 

welcomes public input on this 

document at any time.

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

as a revision to the Office of 

Management and Budget after this 60- 

day comment period in order to obtain 

the three year clearance from them. 

The information collection 

requirements of this collection include 

the following information from 

Commercial Mobile Service (CMS) 

providers: (1) Enhanced notice to 

consumers at time of sale (Enhanced 

Notice at Time of Sale); (2) marginally 

different disclosure as to degree of 

participation in wireless alerts (‘‘in 

whole’’ or ‘‘in part’’) (Notice of 

Election); (3) notice to current 

subscribers of non-participation in WEA 

(Notice to Current Subscribers); and (4) 

a new collection to include voluntary 

information collection for a database 

that the Commission plans to create 

(Database Collection). 

The Commission created WEA 

(previously known as the Commercial 

Mobile Service Alert System, or CMAS) 

as required by Congress in the Warning 

Alert and Response Network (WARN) 

Act and to satisfy the Commission’s 

mandate to promote the safety of life 

and property through the use of wire 

and radio communication. All these 

information collections involve the 

Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) 

system, a mechanism under which CMS 

providers may elect to transmit 

emergency alerts to the public. 

Notice of Election 

On August 7, 2008, the Commission 

released the Third Report and Order in 

PS Docket No. 07- 287 (CMS Third 

Report and Order), FCC 08–184. The 

CMS Third Report and Order 

implemented provisions of the WARN 

Act, including a requirement that within 

30 days of release of the CMS Third 

Report and Order, each CMS provider 

must file an election with the 

Commission indicating whether or not it 

intends to transmit emergency alerts as 

part of WEA. The Commission began 

accepting WEA election filings on or 

before September 8, 2008. The Bureau 

has sought several extensions of this 

information collection. OMB granted the 

latest on July 14, 2017. On January 30, 

2018, the Commission adopted a WEA 

Second Report and Order and Second 

Order on Reconsideration in PS Docket 

Nos. 15–91 and 15–94, FCC 18–4 (WEA 

Second R&O). In this order, the 

Commission defines ‘‘in whole’’ or ‘‘in 

part’’ WEA participation, specifies the 

difference between these elections, and 

requires CMS providers to update their 

election status accordingly. 

Enhanced Notice at Time of Sale 

Section 10.240 of the Commission’s 

rules already requires that CMS 

Providers participating in WEA ‘‘in 

part’’ provide notice to consumers that 

WEA may not be available on all 

devices or within the entire service area, 

as well as details about the availability 

of WEA service. As part of the WEA 

Second R&O, the Commission adopted 

enhanced disclosure requirements, 

requiring CMS Providers participating 

in WEA ‘‘in part’’ to disclose the extent 

to which enhanced geo-targeting is 

available on their network and devices 

at the point of sale and the benefits of 

enhanced geo-targeting at the point of 

sale. We believe these disclosures will 

allow consumers to make more 

informed choices about their ability to 

receive WEA Alert Messages that are 

relevant to them. 

Notice to Current Subscribers 

A CMS provider that elects not to 

transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part or 

in whole, shall provide clear and 

conspicuous notice, which takes into 

account the needs of persons with 

disabilities, to existing subscribers of its 

non-election or partial election to 

provide Alert messages by means of an 

announcement amending the existing 

subscriber’s service agreement. 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
27002 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2018 / Notices 

A CMS provider that elects not to 

transmit WEA Alert Messages, in part or 

in whole, shall use the notification 

language set forth in § 10.240 (c) or (d) 

respectively, except that the last line of 

the notice shall reference FCC Rule 47 

CFR 10.250, rather than FCC Rule 47 

CFR 10.240. 

In the case of prepaid customers, if a 

mailing address is available, the CMS 

provider shall provide the required 

notification via U.S. mail. If no mailing 

address is available, the CMS provider 

shall use any reasonable method at its 

disposal to alert the customer to a 

change in the terms and conditions of 

service and directing the subscriber to 

voice-based notification or to a website 

providing the required notification. 

Database Collection 

The Commission also seeks to collect 

new information in connection with its 

creation of a WEA database to improve 

information transparency for emergency 

managers and the public regarding the 

extent to which WEA is available in 

their area. The Commission will request 

this information from CMS providers on 

a voluntary basis, including geographic 

area served and devices that are 

programmed, at point of sale, to 

transmit WEAs. We note that many 

participating CMS providers already 

provide information of this nature in 

their docketed filings. As discussed 

below, this database will remove a 

major roadblock to emergency 

managers’ ability to conduct tests of the 

alerting system and enable individuals 

and emergency managers to identify the 

alert coverage area. 

Since ensuring consumer notice and 

collection information on the extent of 

CMS providers’ participation is 

statutorily mandated, the Commission 

requests approval of this collection by 

OMB so that the Commission may 

continue to meet its statutory obligation 

under the WARN Act. The database 

information collection is voluntary, but 

also requires OMB approval.
