Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 32 / Thursday, February 15, 2024 / Notices 11831 

• Development of PCR criteria to be 

utilized under the label program to help 

ensure that any Environmental Product 

Declarations (EPDs) used to develop 

GWP thresholds for the label program or 

identify lower embodied carbon 

materials qualifying for the label are 

sufficiently robust. EPA will be 

releasing the draft PCR criteria for 

public comment in the coming weeks. 

To inform development of these 

documents and build upon input 

already received via the 2022 RFI, EPA 

welcomes additional input on ways to 

improve background data, enhance 

publicly available datasets in the LCA 

Data Commons, and facilitate PCR 

improvements. 

2. Material threshold setting. EPA is 

considering several options for 

addressing regional differences specific 

to the sourcing of materials and 

products in the Global Warming 

Potential (GWP) threshold setting 

process as part of Phase II of the Draft 

Label Program Approach. EPA 

welcomes specific input on what 

methods would be effective, feasible, 

and time- and cost-effective for 

specifying regions where necessary (e.g., 

AASHTO Climate Zones, groupings of 

states, market share or geological 

breakdowns). 

EPA is interested in ensuring that 

GWP thresholds are based on 

sufficiently representative data, 

recognizing that what constitutes 

‘‘representative’’ will vary by material. 

EPA plans to conduct proper statistical 

analysis on EPD availability, however, 

EPA is aware of the time constraints in 

doing so. EPA welcomes specific input 

on how to effectively define 

‘‘representative’’ data for a specific 

material type when setting thresholds 

(e.g., at least 30–50 EPDs for each 

material type in each region, or X% of 

all EPDs for a material type in each 

region). 

3. Certifying and labeling materials 

and products. EPA recognizes the need 

for credible conformity assessment to 

ensure stakeholder confidence in the 

Draft Label Program Approach. EPA 

welcomes specific input on what 

qualifications/accreditations should be 

considered (or required) of EPD verifiers 

to demonstrate sufficient knowledge 

and experience. EPA is interested in 

stakeholder feedback on whether the 

conformity criteria and processes used 

by EPA programs (e.g., ENERGY STAR, 

WaterSense), recommended in the EPA 

Framework for the Assessment of 

Environmental Performance Standards 

and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing, 

and/or those used for EPDs in the 

market today should be applied to this 

Draft Label Program Approach available 

at https://www.epa.gov/greener

products/framework-assessmentenvironmental-performance-standardsand-ecolabels-federal. 

Additionally, EPA is interested in 

hearing from EPD verifiers and 

Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) 

that would like to provide conformity 

assessment/verification services for this 

Draft Label Program Approach. 

4. Overall approach. EPA recognizes 

the importance of transparency and 

stakeholder input as we continue to 

develop this program. Other feedback is 

welcome in the form of questions, 

comments or additional information for 

consideration as we move forward. 

B. What is the request for information? 

EPA encourages all potentially 

interested parties, including 

individuals, governmental and nongovernmental organizations, non-profit 

organizations, community-based 

organizations, labor organizations, 

academic institutions, research 

institutions, community health centers 

and clinics, public health 

administration and environmental 

health administration programs, and 

private sector entities to comment on 

the Draft Label Program Approach. To 

the extent possible, the Agency asks 

commenters to please cite any public 

data related to or that supports 

responses, and to the extent permissible, 

describe any supporting data that is not 

publicly available.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonathan Ehrhart, EPA Region 6 Office, 

Air Permits Section, (214) 665–2295,

Notice of Opportunity To Comment on 

Proposed Update of PM2.5 Data From 

T640/T640X PM Mass Monitors 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is requesting comment on 

its plan to retroactively apply the 

approved modification of the Federal 

Equivalent Method (FEM) designation 

for the Teledyne Advanced Pollution 

Instrumentation Model T640 particulate 

matter (PM) mass monitor including the 

640X option (hereafter T640 and T640X) 

to all of the PM with a diameter 2.5 

micrometers or smaller (PM2.5) 

concentration data from the T640 and

11832 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 32 / Thursday, February 15, 2024 / Notices 

T640X monitors in the EPA’s Air 

Quality System (AQS) that was reported 

prior to the modification. This update, 

which will be applied to the unmodified 

hourly PM2.5 concentration data in AQS 

using collocated ambient temperature 

when available, is expected to result in 

a much higher number of PM2.5

monitoring sites using the T640 and 

T640X FEM methods meeting the bias 

measurement quality objectives (MQOs). 

More details related to this update can 

be found in the document titled, 

‘‘Proposal to Update PM2.5 Data from 

T640/T640X PM Mass Monitors,’’ 

located in the docket for this action and 

on the EPA’s website at https://

www.epa.gov/aqs/aqs-memosmonitoring-and-policy. Because of the

and the subsequent use of the updated 

data in regulatory and non-regulatory 

applications.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1198; FR ID 203005] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission Under Delegated 

Authority 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, 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 April 15, 

2024. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it
