informs the recipient of the ability and 

means to request that they not receive 

future unsolicited facsimile 

advertisements from the sender; (2) 

Established Business Relationship 

Recordkeeping whereas the Junk Fax 

Prevention Act provides that the sender, 

e.g., a person, business, or a nonprofit/ 

institution, is prohibited from faxing an 

unsolicited advertisement to a facsimile 

machine unless the sender has an 

‘‘established business relationship’’ 

(EBR) with the recipient; (3) Facsimile 

Number Recordkeeping in which the 

Junk Fax Prevention Act provides that 

an EBR alone does not entitle a sender 

to fax an advertisement to an individual 

or business. The fax number must also 

be provided voluntarily by the recipient; 

and (4) Express Invitation or Permission 

Recordkeeping where in the absence of 

an EBR, the sender must obtain the prior 

express invitation or permission from 

the consumer before sending the 

facsimile advertisement. 

On October 14, 2008, the Commission 

released an Order on Reconsideration, 

FCC 08–239, addressing certain issues 

raised in petitions for reconsideration 

and/or clarification filed in response to 

the Commission’s Report and Order and 

Third Order on Reconsideration (Junk 

Fax Order), FCC 06–42. In document 

FCC 08–239, the Commission clarified 

that: (1) Facsimile numbers compiled by 

third parties on behalf of the facsimile 

sender will be presumed to have been 

made voluntarily available for public 

distribution so long as they are obtained 

from the intended recipient’s own 

directory, advertisement, or internet 

site; (2) Reasonable steps to verify that 

a recipient has agreed to make available 

a facsimile number for public 

distribution may include methods other 

than direct contact with the recipient; 

and (3) a description of the facsimile 

sender’s opt-out mechanism on the first 

web page to which recipients are 

directed in the opt-out notice satisfies 

the requirement that such a description 

appear on the first page of the website. 

The Commission believes these 

clarifications will assist senders of 

facsimile advertisements in complying 

with the Commission’s rules in a 

manner that minimizes regulatory 

compliance costs while maintaining the 

protections afforded consumers under 

the Telephone Consumer Protection Act 

(TCPA).

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–1209; FR ID 260662] 

Information Collection Being Reviewed 

by the Federal Communications 

Commission 

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 of 1995 (PRA), the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

Commission) invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collections. 

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 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Written PRA comments should 

be submitted on or before January 13, 

2025. 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: Direct all PRA comments to 

Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Cathy 

Williams at (202) 418–2918.

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this collection of 

information is contained in Sections 1, 

4 and 303 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

adopted the Contest Rule in 1976 to 

address concerns about the manner in 

which broadcast stations were 

conducting contests over the air. The 

Contest Rule generally requires stations 

to broadcast material contest terms fully 

and accurately the first time the 

audience is told how to participate in a 

contest, and periodically thereafter. In 

addition, stations must conduct contests 

substantially as announced. These 

information collection requirements are 

necessary to ensure that broadcast 

licensees conduct contests with due 

regard for the public interest. 

The Contest Rule permit broadcasters 

to meet their obligation to disclose 

contest material terms on an internet 

website in lieu of making broadcast 

announcements. Under the amended 

Contest Rule, broadcasters are required 

to (i) announce the relevant internet 

website address on air the first time the 

audience is told about the contest and 

periodically thereafter; (ii) disclose the 

material contest terms fully and 

accurately on a publicly accessible 

internet website, establishing a link or 

tab to such terms through a link or tab 

on the announced website’s home page, 

and ensure that any material terms 

disclosed on such a website conform in 

all substantive respects to those

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices 89643 

mentioned over the air; (iii) maintain 

contest material terms online for at least 

thirty days after the contest has ended; 

and (v) announce on air that the 

material terms of a contest have changed 

(where that is the case) within 24 hours 

of the change in terms on a website, and 

periodically thereafter, and to direct 

consumers to the website to review the 

changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Federal Hazardous Substance Act 

and Hazardous Material Transportation 

Act prescribe standards for packaging of 

hazardous substances. To meet the 

requirements of the Acts, the General 

Services Administration Regulation 

prescribes provision 552.223–72, 

Hazardous Material Information, to be 

inserted in solicitations and contracts 

that provides for delivery of hazardous 

materials on a Free On Board (FOB) 

origin basis. 

This information collection will be 

accomplished by means of the provision 

which requires the contractor to identify 

for each National Stock Number (NSN), 

the DOT Shipping Name, Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Hazards Class, 

and whether the item requires a DOT 

label. Contracting Officers and technical 

personnel use the information to 

monitor and ensure contract 

requirements based on law and 

regulation. 

Properly identified and labeled items 

of hazardous material allows for 

appropriate handling of such items 

throughout GSA’s supply chain system. 

The information is used by GSA, stored 

in an NSN database and provided to 

GSA customers. Non-Collection and/or 

a less frequently conducted collection of 

the information resulting from GSAR 

provision 552.223–72 would prevent the 

Government from being properly 

notified. Government activities may be 

hindered from notifying their employees 

of; (1) All hazards to which they may be 

exposed; (2) Relative symptoms and 

appropriate emergency treatment; and 

(3) Proper conditions and precautions 

for safe use and exposure. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 563. 

Responses per Respondent: 3. 

Total Responses: 1689. 

Hours Per Response: .5.
