OMB Control Number: 3060–0149. 

Title: Part 63, Accelerating Wireline 

Broadband Deployment by Removing 

Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, 

WC Docket No. 17–84, FCC 18–74. 

Form Number(s): N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 80 respondents; 88 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 6–62 

hours per response. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

reporting requirement and third-party 

disclosure requirements. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

214 and 402 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,086 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $27,900. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information filed in section 214 

applications has generally been nonconfidential. Requests from parties 

seeking confidential treatment are 

considered by Commission staff 

pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

seeking Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of 

a currently approved collection to OMB. 

The Commission will submit this 

information collection to OMB after this 

60-day comment period. Section 214 of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, requires that a carrier must 

first obtain FCC authorization either to 

(1) construct, operate, or engage in 

transmission over a line of 

communications; or (2) discontinue, 

reduce or impair service over a line of 

communications. Part 63 of Title 47 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

implements Section 214. Part 63 also 

implements provisions of the Cable 

Communications Policy Act of 1984 

pertaining to video which was approved 

under this OMB Control Number 3060– 

0149. In 2009, the Commission modified 

Part 63 to extend to providers of 

interconnected Voice of Internet 

Protocol (VoIP) service the 

discontinuance obligations that apply to 

domestic non-dominant 

telecommunications carriers under 

Section 214 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. In 2014, the 

Commission adopted improved 

administrative filing procedures for 

domestic transfers of control, domestic 

discontinuances and notices of network 

changes, and among other adjustments, 

modified Part 63 to require electronic 

filing for applications for authorization 

to discontinue, reduce, or impair service 

under section 214(a) of the Act. In July 

2016, the Commission concluded that 

applicants seeking to discontinue a 

legacy time division multiplexing 

(TDM)-based voice service as part of a 

transition to a new technology, whether 

Internet Protocol (IP), wireless, or 

another type (technology transition 

discontinuance application) must 

demonstrate that an adequate 

replacement for the legacy service exists 

in order to be eligible for streamlined 

treatment and revised part 63 

accordingly. The Commission 

concluded that an applicant for a 

technology transition discontinuance 

may demonstrate that a service is an 

adequate replacement for a legacy voice 

service by certifying or showing that one 

or more replacement service(s) offers all 

of the following: (i) Substantially similar 

levels of network infrastructure and 

service quality as the applicant service; 

(ii) compliance with existing federal 

and/or industry standards required to 

ensure that critical applications such as 

911, network security, and applications 

for individuals with disabilities remain 

available; and (iii) interoperability and 

compatibility with an enumerated list of 

applications and functionalities 

determined to be key to consumers and 

competitors (the ‘‘adequate replacement 

test’’). 

In June 2018, the Commission further 

modified the rules applicable to section 

214(a) discontinuance applications. 

First, all carriers, whether dominant or 

non-dominant, that seek approval to 

grandfather data services below speeds 

of 25 Mbps download speed and 3 Mbps 

upload speed are now subject to a 

uniform reduced public comment 

period of 10 days and an automatic 

grant period of 25 days. Second, all 

carriers, whether dominant or nondominant, seeking authorization to 

discontinue data services below speeds 

of 25 Mbps download speed and 3 Mbps 

upload speed that have previously been 

grandfathered for a period of at least 180 

days are subject to a uniform reduced 

public comment period of 10 days and 

an automatic grant period of 31 days, 

provided they submit a statement as 

part of their discontinuance application 

that they have received Commission 

authority to grandfather the services at 

issue at least 180 days prior to the filing 

of the discontinuance application. This 

statement must reference the file 

number of the prior Commission 

authorization to grandfather the services 

the carrier now seeks to permanently 

discontinue. Third, carriers are no 

longer required to file an application to 

discontinue, reduce, or impair any 

service for which it has had no 

customers and no request for service for 

at least a 30-day period immediately 

preceding the discontinuance. Fourth, 

all carriers, whether dominant or nondominant, that seek approval to 

discontinue legacy voice service can 

obtain further streamlined processing 

with a public comment period of 15 

days and an automatic grant period of 

31 days, provided (1) they offer a standalone interconnected VoIP service 

throughout the service area, and (2) at 

least one alternative stand-alone, 

facilities-based voice service is available 

from an unaffiliated provider 

throughout the affected service area (the 

‘‘alternative options test’’). Finally, all 

carriers, whether dominant or nondominant, that seek approval to 

grandfather legacy voice service are now 

subject to a uniform reduced public 

comment period of 10 days and an 

automatic grant period of 25 days. The 

Commission estimates that it will 

receive three fewer section 214(a) 

discontinuance applications annually in 

light of the Commission’s forbearance 

from applying its section 214(a) 

discontinuance requirements to services 

for which the carrier has had no 

customers and no reasonable requests 

for service during the preceding 30-day 

period. The Commission also 

anticipates that the number of 

respondents and responses under the 

adequate replacement test will likely 

decrease from 5 and 25, respectively, to 

2 and 10, respectively. The remaining 

15 responses previously attributable to 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
37812 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 149 / Thursday, August 2, 2018 / Notices 

the adequate replacement test will likely 

proceed pursuant to the less rigorous 

alternative options test. The 

Commission estimates that the total 

annual burden of the entire collection, 

as revised, is reduced from 1,923 hours 

to 1,086 hours.

Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry 

[Docket No. ATSDR–2015–0001] 

Availability of Set 29 Draft 

Toxicological Profiles 

AGENCY: Agency for Toxic Substances 

and Disease Registry (ATSDR), 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR), within the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

announces the availability of Set 29 

Draft Toxicological Profiles for review 

and comment. All toxicological profiles 

issued as ‘‘Drafts for Public Comment’’ 

represent ATSDR’s best efforts to 

provide important toxicological 

information on priority hazardous 

substances. ATSDR is seeking public 

comments and additional information or 

reports on studies about the health 

effects of Tribufos, 

Bromodichloromethane, 

Bromomethane, and 2-Hexanone for 

review and potential inclusion in the 

profiles. Although ATSDR considers key 

studies for these substances during the 

profile development process, this 

document solicits any relevant, 

additional information. ATSDR will 

evaluate the quality and relevance of 

such data or studies for possible 

inclusion into the profile. 

ATSDR also seeks comments on the 

organization and format of the 

Toxicological Profile for 

Bromodichloromethane. In an effort to 

improve the usability of the profiles, 

ATSDR recently made content and 

organizational changes based on user 

feedback, as well as data identifying the 

most used profile content. Changes 

include: Removing redundant content; 

adding summary figures and tables to 

Chapters 1, 2, 5, and 6 that did not exist 

in previous Toxicological Profiles; and 

reformatting the Levels of Significant 

Exposure (LSE) tables in Chapter 2. 

ATSDR has only applied the changes to 

the Draft Toxicological Profile for 

Bromodichloromethane, but intends to 

use the new format for future profiles. 

Specifically, ATSDR would like to 

know: 

(1) Does the chapter organization 

make it easier for you to find the 

information you need? For example, are 

you satisfied with the organization of 

the health effects chapter by organ 

system rather than exposure route? 

(2) Are the new tables and figures 

clear and useful? Do they make the 

Toxicological Profile easier to read? 

(3) If you have previously used any 

Toxicological Profile(s) for your work, 

which parts or content are the most 

useful to you, and what do you use it 

for? 

(4) Does the profile contain all of the 

information you need? If no, please 

elaborate on what additional 

information would be helpful. 

(5) Is there information you would 

like to see in the profile that is not 

currently included? If yes, please 

elaborate on the additional information 

you would like to see in the profile. 

ATSDR remains committed to 

providing a public comment period for 

these documents as a means to provide 

the best service to the public regarding 

public health. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

October 31, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) [42 

U.S.C. 9601 et seq.] amended the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) [42 

U.S.C. 9601 et seq.] by establishing 

certain requirements for ATSDR and the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) regarding hazardous substances 

that are most commonly found at 

facilities on the CERCLA National 

Priorities List (NPL). Among these 

statutory requirements is a mandate for 

the Administrator of ATSDR to prepare 

toxicological profiles for each substance 

included on the priority list of 

hazardous substances [also called the 

Substance Priority List (SPL)]. This list 

identifies 275 hazardous substances that 

ATSDR and EPA have determined pose 

the most significant potential threat to 

human health. The SPL is available 

online at www.atsdr.cdc.gov/spl.
