**Notification of a Closed Teleconference of the Science**  **Advisory Board’s Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards**  **Committee**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA), Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office is announcing a teleconference of the SAB’s Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards (STAA) Committee to discuss draft recommendations for the chartered SAB regarding the Agency’s 2013 and 2014 STAA recipients. The STAA Committee teleconference will be closed to the public.

**DATES :**  The STAA Committee teleconference date is Friday, November 7, 2014, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

**ADDRESSES :**  The SAB STAA Committee closed teleconference will take place via telephone only. General information about the SAB may be found on the SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Members of the public who wish to obtain further information regarding this announcement may contact Edward Hanlon, Designated Federal Officer, by telephone: (202) 564–2134 or email at hanlon.edward@epa.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Pursuant to section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, and section (c)(6) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), the EPA has determined that the STAA Committee teleconference will be closed to the public. The purpose of the teleconference is for the SAB STAA Committee to continue discussion of draft recommendations for the chartered SAB regarding recipients of the Agency’s 2013 and 2014 Scientific and Technological Achievement Awards.

The STAA Committee discussion will have two parts. The first part of the discussion will focus on review of additional agency recommendations for the 2013 awards. Although the chartered SAB reviewed the Agency’s 2013 STAA nominations and provided advice regarding those nominations in January 2014 (for more information, see http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct. nsf/fedrgstr

_activites/2013%20STAA %20Review?OpenDocument), the Agency later identified additional nominations for SAB review. The second part of the SAB STAA Committee discussion will allow the Committee to continue its review begun on July 28, 2014 (79 FR 38314) of the Agency’s 2014 STAA nominations (for more information, see http://yosemite. epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr

_ activites/2014%20STAA%20Review? OpenDocument).

The STAA awards are established to honor and recognize EPA employees who have made outstanding contributions in the advancement of science and technology through their research and development activities, as exhibited in publication of their results in peer reviewed journals. I have determined that the STAA Committee teleconference will be closed to the public because it is concerned with recommending employees deserving of


### 62950 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 203 / Tuesday, October 21, 2014 / Notices

awards. In making these draft recommendations, the SAB requires full and frank advice from the STAA Committee. This advice will involve professional judgments on the relative merits of various employees and their respective work. Such personnel matters involve the discussion of information that is of a personal nature and the disclosure of which would be a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy and, therefore, are protected from disclosure by section (c)(6) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Minutes of the STAA Committee teleconference will be kept and certified by the chair.

Dated: October 8, 2014. Gina McCarthy,
Administrator.

**SUMMARY :**  As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission’s burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

**DATES :**  Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 22, 2014. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your PRA comments to Benish Shah, Federal Communications Commission, via the Internet at Benish.Shah@fcc.gov. To submit your PRA comments by email send them to: PRA@fcc.gov

. **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Benish Shah, Office of Managing Director, (202) 418–7866.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0207. Title: Part 11—Emergency Alert System (EAS).

Form Number: Not applicable. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit; not-for-profit institutions; and state, local or tribal government.

Number of Respondents and Responses: 3,569,028,080 respondents; 3,569,028 responses.

Estimated Time per Response: .0229776 hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and recordkeeping requirement.

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary response for business or other for-profit and not-for-respondents. Mandatory response for state, local or tribal government. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C 154(i) and 606 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

Total Annual Burden: 82,008 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 seeking and extension of this information collection in order to obtain the full three year approval from OMB. There are no changes in any of the reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements. There is no change to the Commission’s previous burden estimated.

The Commission established a voluntary electronic method of complying with the reporting that EAS participants must complete as part of the national EAS test. This electronic submission system will impose a lesser burden on EAS test participants becausethey can input electronically (via a webbased interface) the same information into a confidential database that the Commission would use to monitor and assess the test. Test participants would submit the identifying data prior to the test date. On the day of the test, EAS participants would be able to input immediate test results. They would input the remaining data called for by our reporting rules within the 45 day period. Structuring an electronic reporting system in this fashion will allow the participants to populate the database with known information prior to the test, and thus be able to provide the Commission with actual test data, both close to real-time and within a reasonable period in a minimally burdensome fashion
