is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation. 

IV. Does this PR Notice contain an 

information collection subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act? 

This PR Notice provides guidance on 

what could be included in section 15 of 

the SDS in terms of draft explanatory 

text and the use of FIFRA hazard 

information as available on the EPAapproved label of a registered product. 

Although using the approach identified 

in the PR Notice is entirely optional, 

EPA recognizes that the approach 

involves an information collection 

activity covered by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq., and OMB’s regulations at 5 CFR 

part 1320. As such, EPA and OSHA will 

collaborate on a subsequent revision to 

OSHA’s ICR, identified under OMB 

Control No. 1218–0072, which 

addresses the information collection 

activities contained in the recent OSHA 

final rule revising HCS (77 FR 17574– 

17896). Before submitting such a 

revision to OMB for review and 

approval, EPA is hereby soliciting 

public comment on a supporting 

statement entitled ‘‘Supporting 

Statement for a Request to Revise a 

Currently Approved Information 

Collection Request (ICR) under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act; Proposed 

Revision to OMB Control No. 1218– 

0072’’ and available in EPA Docket ID 

No. EPA–HQ–OPP–2012–0176. 

A. Request for Comment on PRA 

Activities 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and 

information to enable it to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agencies, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

B. PRA Burden Statement 

Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

The annualized public burden for this 

collection of information, which 

involves the activities associated with 

the SDS preparer’s inclusion in section 

15 of the SDS of additional pesticide 

information from the EPA-approved 

labeling as described in EPA’s PR Notice 

2012–1, is estimated to average about 

1.4 hours per respondent, or 0.25 hours 

per SDS. The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

• Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 574. 

• Frequency of response: Once, and 

optional. 

• Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 5.4. 

• Estimated total annual burden 

hours: 258 hours averaged over the 3- 

year phase-in established by the OSHA 

final rule. 

• Estimated total annual burden 

costs: $17,028 averaged over the 3-year 

phase-in established by the OSHA final 

rule. 

C. Next Step Under the PRA 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the Supporting 

Statement as appropriate. The final ICR 

package will then be submitted to OMB 

for review and approval pursuant to 5 

CFR 1320.12 as a revision to the OSHA 

ICR that covers the information 

collection activities in the OSHA HCS, 

identified under OMB Control No. 

1218–0072. OSHA will issue another 

Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 

CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments. If you have any questions 

about this ICR or the approval process, 

please contact the technical person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

Sections 4(i), 4(j), 201–205, 214 and 403 

of the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(j), 201–25, 214 

and 403. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

requests this collection of information to 

gather the information needed to 

recommend to the United States 

Department of State whether or not to 

designate persons requesting its 

Recognized Private Operating Agency 

(RPOA) status. 

The United States does not require 

anyone to obtain RPOA status but has 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
23716 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Notices 

created a voluntary process by which 

companies that believe that it would be 

helpful in persuading foreign 

telecommunications operators to deal 

with them can obtain such a 

designation. RPOA status also permits 

companies to join the 

Telecommunications Sector of the 

International Telecommunications 

Union Formal (ITU), the standardssetting body of the ITU. Formal 

recognition of RPOA status is required 

by the ITU for companies desiring the 

ITU to grant them international free 

phone numbers. Without this 

information the government cannot 

represent to other nations that the 

United States enhanced-service 

providers will obey international 

regulations. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0454. 

OMB Approval Date: June 22, 2011. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2014. 

Title: Sections 43.51, 64.1001, 

64.1002, Regulations of International 

Accounting Rates. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

20 respondents; 20 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 1–5 

hours per response. 

Total Annual Burden: 205 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $3,000. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The 

Commission has authority for this 

information collection pursuant to 

Sections 1, 4(i)–4(j), 43, 63, 201–205, 

214, 303(r), and 309 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i)–154(j), 

201–205, 214, 303(r), and 309. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The information is 

used by the Commission staff in 

carrying out its duties under the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. The information collections 

are necessary for the Commission to 

maintain effective oversight of U.S. 

carriers that are affiliated with or 

involved in certain co-marketing or 

similar arrangements with foreign 

carriers that have market power. 

Additionally, the information collection 

is necessary to analyze market trends to 

determine whether amendment of the 

Commission’s existing rules or 

proposals of new rules are necessary to 

promote effective competition and 

prevent anti-competitive behavior 

between American and foreign carriers. 

If the collections are not conducted or 

are conducted less frequently, 

applicants will not obtain the 

authorizations necessary to provide 

telecommunications services, and the 

Commission will be unable to carry out 

its mandate under the Communications 

Act of 1934. Furthermore, the 

Commission would lack sufficient 

information to determine whether new 

or modified rules are necessary to 

combat anti-competitive behavior 

between American and foreign carriers. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0751. 

OMB Approval Date: August 17, 2011. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2014. 

Title: Contracts and Concessions, 47 

CFR 43.51. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

10 respondents; 40 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 6–8 

hours per response. 

Total Annual Burden: 300 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in Sections 47 U.S.C. 154; 

Telecommunications Act of 1996, 

Public Law 1–4–104, Sections 

402(b)(2)(B)(c), 110 Stat. 56 (1996) as 

amended unless otherwise noted. 47 

U.S.C. 211, 219, 220 as amended. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission has 

determined that the authorized resale of 

international private lines 

interconnected to the U.S. public 

switched network (PSN) would tend to 

divert international message telephone 

service (IMTS) traffic from the 

settlements process and increase the 

U.S. net settlements deficit. The 

information will be used by the 

Commission in reviewing the impact, if 

any, that end-user private line 

interconnections have on our 

international settlements policy. The 

data will also enhance the ability of 

both the Commission and interested 

parties to monitor for unauthorized 

resale of international private lines that 

are interconnected to the U.S. PSN. The 

Commission’s effort to preserve the 

integrity of its international resale 

policy would be thwarted if the 

collection were conducted less 

frequently. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0768. 

OMB Approval Date: August 17, 2011. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2014. 

Title: 28 GHz Band Segmentation Plan 

Amending the Commission’s Rules to 

Redesignate the 27.5–29.5 GHz 

Frequency Band, to Reallocate the 29.5– 

30.0 GHz Frequency Band. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

65 respondents; 65 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 2 

hours per response. 

Total Annual Burden: 130 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $18,150. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information and third party disclosure 

requirements is contained in Sections 

25.101 to 25.601 issued under Section 4, 

48 Stat. 1066, as amended; 47 U.S.C. 

154; Sections 101–104, 76 Stat. 416– 

427; 47 U.S.C. 701–744; and 47 U.S.C. 

554. Statutory authority for Part 101 is 

contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 303, unless 

otherwise noted. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The information is 

used by the Commission and other 

applicants and/or licensees in the 28 

GHz band to facilitate technical 

coordination of systems among 

applicants and/or licensees in the 28 

GHz band. Without such information, 

the Commission could not implement 

the band plan as set forth in the First 

Report and Order and Fourth Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking. 

Affected applicants and licensees are 

required to provide the requested 

information to the Commission and 

other third parties whenever they seek 

authority to provide service in the 28 

GHz band. The frequency of filing is, in 

general, determined by the applicant or 

licensees. If this information is 

compiled less frequently or not filed in 

conjunction with our rules, applicants 

and licensees will not obtain the 

authorization necessary to provide 

telecommunications services. 

Furthermore, the Commission would 

not be able to carry out its mandate as 

required by statute and applicants and 

licensees would not be able to provide 

service effectively. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0962. 

OMB Approval Date: August 16, 2011. 

Expiration Date: August 31, 2014. 

Title: Redesignation of the 18 GHz 

Frequency Band, Blanket Licensing of 

Satellite Earth Stations in the Ka-band, 

and the Allocation of Additional 

Spectrum for Broadcast Satellite Service 

Use.

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

26 respondents; 29 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 1–4 

hours per response. 

Total Annual Burden: 35 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $147,350. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The 

Commission has authority for this 

collection of information pursuant to 

Sections 1, 4(i), 301, 303, 308, 309, and 

310 of the Communications Act of 1934, 

as amended, 47 U.S.C. 51, 154(i), 301, 

303, 308, 309, and 310. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection facilitates the Commission’s 

efforts to use spectrum more efficiently 

and to better accommodate the 

operational needs of licensees. 

In addition, the collection of this 

information is necessary for the 

Commission to determine whether 

licensees are complying with the rules 

applicable to satellite earth stations and 

to deploy new satellite systems. If the 

collection were not conducted, the 

Commission would not be able to verify 

whether Geostationary Satellite Orbit/ 

Fixed Satellite Service (GSO/FSS) 

satellite earth stations in the Ka-band 

were operating in accordance with 

Commission rules. Additionally, 

spectrum would not be used most 

efficiently and would, therefore, result 

in hindering the provision of new or 

enhanced telecommunications services 

to the public. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1013. 

OMB Approval Date: February 4, 

2011. 

Expiration Date: February 28, 2014. 

Title: Mitigation of Orbital Debris. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit entities. 

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

53 respondents; 53 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 3 

hours per response. 

Total Annual Burden: 159 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $102,025. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Information 

collected during the Commission’s 

authorization process will be used by 

Commission staff in carrying out the 

agency’s duties concerning satellite 

communications, pursuant to Sections 

1, 4(i), 301, 303, 308, 309 and 310 of the 

Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 151, 

154(i), 301, 303, 308, 309, and 310. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirements accounted for in 

this collection are necessary to mitigate 

the potential harmful effects of orbital 

debris accumulation. Disclosure of 

debris mitigation plans as part of 

requests for FCC authorization will help 

preserve the United States’ continued 

affordable access to space, the 

continued provision of reliable U.S. 

space-based services, including 

communications and remote sensing 

satellite services, for U.S. commercial, 

government, and homeland security 

purposes as well as the continued safety 

of persons and property in space and on 

the surface of the Earth. Disclosure of 

debris mitigation plans will allow the 

Commission and potentially affected 

third parties to evaluate satellite 

operators’ debris mitigation plans prior 

to the issuance of an FCC approval for 

communications activities in space. 

Disclosure may also aid in the wider 

dissemination of information 

concerning debris mitigation techniques 

and may provide a base-line of 

information that will aid in analyzing 

and refining those techniques. 

Without disclosure of orbital debris 

mitigation plans as part of applications 

for FCC authority, the Commission 

would be denied any opportunity to 

ascertain whether satellite operators are 

in fact considering and adopting 

reasonable debris mitigation practices, 

which could result in an increase in 

orbital debris and a decrease in the 

utility of space for communications and 

other uses. Furthermore, the growth in 

the orbital debris population may limit 

the usefulness of space for 

communications and other uses in the 

future by raising the costs and lowering 

the reliability of space-based systems. 

Additionally, the effects of collisions 

involving orbital debris can be 

catastrophic and may cause significant 

damage to functional spacecraft or to 

persons or property on the surface of the 

Earth, if the debris re-enters the Earth’s 

atmosphere in an uncontrolled manner.

Number of Respondents/Responses: 

20 respondents; 20 responses. 

Estimated Hours per Response: 20 

minutes per response. 

Total Annual Burden: 7 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection is contained 

in Sections 1, 4(i)–(j), 201–205, 211, 

214, 219–220, 303(r), 309 and 403 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i)–(j), 201– 

205, 211, 214, 219–220, 303(r), and 403. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collection requirements contained in 

this collection facilitate the 

Commission’s assignment of unique 

ISPCs to international carriers for 

identification purposes. In addition, 

they enhance the ability of the 

international carriers to communicate 

with each other internationally through 

the shared signaling network. The 

Commission would not have a unique 

identification code (ISPC) to identify 

each international carrier if these 

collections of information were not 

conducted. Furthermore, the lack of 

ISPCs would hinder the international 

carriers’ ability to identify other carriers 

and would likely result in delays in 

communication or miscommunication 

among international carriers on the 

shared signaling network. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1029.

205, 211, 214, 219–220, 303(r), 309 and 

403. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

obtains relevant information from 

operators of public data networks 

through the filing of applications for 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
23718 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Notices 

Data Network Identification Codes 

(DNICs) on the Internet-based 

International Bureau Filing System 

(IBFS). This information is collected by 

the Commission to assign DNICs to 

operators of public data networks in 

order to identify and permit automated 

switching of data traffic to particular 

networks. The Commission’s lack of an 

assignment of DNICs to operators of 

public data networks would result in 

technical problems that prevent the 

identification and automated switching 

of data traffic to particular networks.

222(h)(4)–(5), 251(e)(3), 301, 303, 308 

and 310. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

There is no need for confidentiality with 

this collection of information. 

Needs and Uses: The information 

collections that result from the E911 

Scope Second R&O, IB Docket No. 99– 

67 (FCC 04–201), are used by the 

Commission under its authority to 

license commercial satellite services in 

the United States. Without the 

collection of information that would 

result from these rules, the Commission 

would not be able to monitor the Mobile 

Satellite Service (MSS) carriers’ 

establishment of call centers which are 

essential to provide emergency services, 

such as handling emergency 911 

telephone calls from American citizens. 

The recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements include data on MSS call 

center use such as the aggregate number 

of calls that the call centers receive and 

the number of calls that required 

forwarding to a local Public Safety 

Answering Points (PSAP). The 

Commission will use this data to 

monitor compliance with the call center 

requirement and track usage trends. 

Such information would be useful to the 

Commission in considering whether 

FCC rules require modification to 

accommodate the changing market. The 

rules require that MSS carriers file a 

post-implementation report with the 

Commission annually. 

Without the collection of information, 

the Commission would not be able to 

confirm the MSS carriers’ compliance 

with the call center rules. Additionally, 

the agency would not have data on MSS 

call center use in order to determine 

whether the Commission should modify 

its rules to accommodate the current 

market.

Estimated Time per Response: 20–100 

hours. 

Obligation To Respond: Voluntary. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,070 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Information provided pursuant to this 

request will be viewed as presumptively 

confidential upon submission because 

the information would reflect reports on 

weaknesses in or damage to national 

communications infrastructure, and the 

release of this sensitive information to 

the public could potentially facilitate 

terrorist targeting of critical 

infrastructure and key resources. The 

submissions also may contain internal 

confidential information that constitutes 

trade secrets and commercial/financial 

information that the respondent does 

not routinely make public and public 

release of the submitted information 

could cause competitive harm by 

revealing information about the types 

and deployment of cable equipment and 

the traffic that flows across the system. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

requesting that current submarine cable 

landing licensees voluntarily provide 

information regarding the system status 

and service restoration activities for the 

submarine cable systems and cable 

landing stations and information about 

the physical location, assets, and 

restoration plans for the submarine 

cable systems. This information is 

needed in order to support Federal 

government national security and 

emergency preparedness 

communications programs, for the 

purpose of providing situational 

awareness of submarine cable system 

performance as well as a greater 

understanding of potential physical 

threats to the submarine cable systems. 

The Commission has been working with 

the Assistant Director for National 

Security and Emergency Preparedness, 

at the Office of Science and Technology 

Policy (OSTP) on this collection on 

behalf of other Executive Branch 

agencies, at the direction of the 

President.

Needs and Uses: On May 12, 2011, 

the Federal Communications 

Commission adopted a First Report and 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (FCC 11–76) in Reporting 

Requirements for U.S. Providers of 

International Telecommunications 

Services, Amendment of Part 43 of the 

Commission’s Rules, IB Docket No. 04– 

112 (rel. May 13, 2011). In the First 

Report and Order portion of that 

document (First Report and Order), the 

Commission amended the international 

reporting requirements in Section 43.61 

of the Commission’s rules. The 

Commission retained the annual traffic 

and revenue report contained in Section 

43.61(a) but eliminated the quarterly 

large carrier report in Section 43.61(b) 

and the quarterly report of switched

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Notices 23719 

resellers affiliated with foreign 

telecommunications entities in Section 

43.61(c). The Commission also retained 

the requirement from the current 

Section 43.61(a) traffic and revenue 

report that filing entities report their 

international message telephone service 

(IMTS) and international private line 

services on a for each overseas route 

they serve. The Commission also 

retained the current requirement in 

Section 43.61(a) that filing entities 

report their IMTS resale (i.e., where an 

entity purchases IMTS calls from 

another provider and resells them to its 

customers) on a world-total basis. 

The First Report and Order simplified 

the annual Section 43.61(a) report by 

amending subpart (a) of the rule to 

eliminate the current requirement that 

filing entities separately report IMTS 

and private line traffic between the 

conterminous 48 states and offshore 

U.S. points such as Guam and the U.S. 

Virgin Islands and traffic between such 

offshore U.S. points and foreign points. 

The Commission did not amend 

subparts (1), (2), or (3) of Section 

43.61(a).

154 unless otherwise noted. Interpret or 

apply Sections 211, 219, 48 Stat. 1073,

Needs and Uses: On May 12, 2011, 

the Federal Communications 

Commission adopted a First Report and 

Order and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (FCC 11–76) in Reporting 

Requirements for U.S. Providers of 

International Telecommunications 

Services, Amendment of Part 43 of the 

Commission’s Rules, IB Docket No. 04– 

112 (rel. May 13, 2011). In the First 

Report and Order portion of that 

document (First Report and Order), the 

Commission amended the international 

reporting requirements in Section 43.82 

that requires carriers annually to report 

the status of the international 

transmission circuits they owned or 

leased on December 31st of the 

preceding year. In the First Report and 

Order, the Commission also eliminated 

the circuit-addition report in Section 

63.23(e) of the Commission’s rules. 

In the First Report and Order, the 

Commission retained the annual circuitstatus report contained in Section 43.82, 

but eliminated the requirement that 

filing entities separately report circuits 

between the conterminous 48 states and 

offshore U.S. points such as Guam and 

the U.S. Virgin Islands and circuits 

between such offshore U.S. points and 

foreign points. 

In the First Report and Order, the 

Commission also removed the 

requirement that filing entities file the 

circuit-addition report in section 

63.23(e) of the rules. The Commission 

found that the section 43.82 annual 

circuit-status report provides enough 

information so that the circuit-addition 

report is no longer necessary. Section 

63.23(e) required carriers that have been 

certified to resell international private 

lines for the provision of 

telecommunications services to file each 

year the number of private line circuits 

they added and the service for which 

they were used. The Commission 

required this report because such 

service provider did not file the annual 

circuit-status report. The underlying 

carriers that provide the private lines 

that the resellers are using are required 

to report those circuits in their annual 

circuit-status report. As a result, we 

have a record that the circuits are used 

and do not need for the resellers also to 

report the same circuits.
