Nominees should be scientists who 

have sufficient professional 

qualifications, including training and 

experience, to be capable of providing 

expert comments on the scientific issues 

for this review. 

C. How do I make a nomination? 

Submit your nomination as directed 

under ADDRESSES by the deadline 

indicated under DATES. Each 

nomination should include the 

following information: Contact 

information for the person making the 

nomination; name, affiliation, and 

contact information for the nominee; 

and the disciplinary and specific areas 

of expertise of the nominee. 

Do not submit confidential business 

information (CBI) or other sensitive 

information to EPA through email. If 

your nomination contains any 

information that you consider to be CBI 

or otherwise protected, please contact 

the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT to obtain special 

instructions before submitting that 

information. 

D. Will ad hoc reviewers be subjected to 

an ethics review? 

SACC members and ad hoc reviewers 

are subject to the provisions of the 

Standards of Ethical Conduct for 

Employees of the Executive Branch at 5 

CFR part 2635, conflict of interest 

statutes in Title 18 of the United States 

Code and related regulations. In 

anticipation of this requirement, 

prospective candidates for service on 

the SACC will be asked to submit 

confidential financial information 

which shall fully disclose, among other 

financial interests, the candidate’s 

employment, stocks, and bonds, and 

where applicable, sources of research 

support. EPA will evaluate the 

candidates’ financial disclosure forms to 

assess whether there are financial 

conflicts of interest, appearance of a loss 

of impartiality, or any prior involvement 

with the development of the documents 

under consideration (including previous 

scientific peer review) before the 

candidate is considered further for 

service on the SACC. Selected 

candidates are required to complete an 

ethics training prior to conducting their 

reviews. 

E. How will EPA select the ad hoc 

reviewers? 

The selection of scientists to serve as 

ad hoc reviewers for the SACC is based 

on the function of the Committee and 

the expertise needed to address the 

Agency’s charge to the Committee. No 

interested scientists shall be ineligible 

to serve by reason of their membership 

on any other advisory committee to a 

federal department or agency or their 

employment by a federal department or 

agency, except EPA. Other factors 

considered during the selection process 

include availability of the prospective 

candidate to fully participate in the 

Committee’s reviews, ability to be hired 

as an EPA Special Government 

Employee (SGE), absence of any 

conflicts of interest or appearance of 

loss of impartiality, independence with 

respect to the matters under review, and 

lack of bias. Although financial conflicts 

of interest, the appearance of loss of 

impartiality, lack of independence, and 

bias may result in non-selection, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

assure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on the SACC. 

Numerous qualified candidates are 

often identified for SACC reviews. 

Therefore, selection decisions involve 

carefully weighing several factors 

including the candidates’ areas of 

expertise and professional qualifications 

and achieving an overall balance of 

different scientific perspectives across 

reviewers. The Agency will consider all 

nominations of prospective candidates 

for service as ad hoc reviewers for the 

SACC that are received by the deadline 

listed under DATES. However, the final 

selection of ad hoc reviewers is a 

discretionary function of the Agency. 

EPA anticipates selecting 

approximately ten (10) ad hoc reviewers 

to assist the SACC in their review of the 

designated topic. EPA plans to make a 

list of candidates under consideration as 

prospective ad hoc reviewers for this 

review available for public comment by 

the winter of 2025. The list will be 

available in the docket at https://

www.regulations.gov (docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OPPT–2024–0551) and 

through the SACC website at https://

www.epa.gov/tsca-peer-review.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–0748; FR ID 263023] 

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 (PRA) of 1995, 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 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 February 3, 

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. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0748. 

Title: Section 64.104, 64.1509, 

64.1510 Pay-Per-Call and Other 

Information Services. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 5,125 respondents; 5,175 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 2 to 

260 hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual and 

on occasion reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements; Third 

party disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority(s) for the information 

collection is found at 47 U.S.C. 

228(c)(7)–(10); Public Law 192–556, 106 

Stat. 4181 (1992), codified at 47 U.S.C. 

228 (The Telephone Disclosure and 

Dispute Resolution Act of 1992). 

Total Annual Burden: 47,750 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Needs and Uses: Regulations at 47 

CFR 64.1504 of the Commission’s rules 

incorporate the requirements of sections 

228(c)(7)–(10) of the Communications 

Act restricting the manner in which tollfree numbers may be used to charge 

telephone subscribers for information 

services. Common carriers may not 

charge a calling party for information 

conveyed on a toll-free number call, 

unless the calling party: (1) has 

executed a written agreement that 

specifies the material terms and 

conditions under which the information 

is provided, or (2) pays for the 

information by means of a prepaid 

account, credit, debit, charge, or calling 

card and the information service 

provider gives the calling party an 

introductory message disclosing the cost 

and other terms and conditions for the 

service. The disclosure requirements are 

intended to ensure that consumers 

know when charges will be levied for 

calls to toll-free numbers and are able to 

obtain information necessary to make 

informed choices about whether to 

purchase toll-free information services. 

Regulations at 47 CFR 64.1509 of the 

Commission rules incorporate the 

requirements of 47 U.S.C. (c)(2) and 228 

(d)(2)–(3) of the Communications Act. 

Common carriers that assign telephone 

numbers to pay-per-call services must 

disclose to all interested parties, upon 

request, a list of all assigned pay-percall numbers. For each assigned 

number, carriers must also make 

available: (1) a description of the payper-call services; (2) the total cost per 

minute or other fees associated with the 

service; and (3) the service provider’s 

name, business address, and telephone 

number. In addition, carriers handling 

pay-per-call services must establish a 

toll-free number that consumers may 

call to receive information about payper-call services. Finally, the 

Commission requires carriers to provide 

statements of pay-per-call rights and 

responsibilities to new telephone 

subscribers at the time service is 

established and, although not required 

by statute, to all subscribers annually. 

Under 47 CFR 64.1510 of the 

Commission’s rules, telephone bills 

containing charges for interstate payper-call and other information services 

must include information detailing 

consumers’ rights and responsibilities 

with respect to these charges. 

Specifically, telephone bills carrying 

pay-per-call charges must include a 

consumer notification stating that: (1) 

the charges are for non-communication 

services; (2) local and long distance 

telephone services may not be 

disconnected for failure to pay per-call 

charges; (3) pay-per-call (900 number) 

blocking is available upon request; and 

(4) access to pay-per-call services may 

be involuntarily blocked for failure to 

pay per-call charges. In addition, each 

call billed must show the type of 

services, the amount of the charge, and 

the date, time, and duration of the call. 

Finally, the bill must display a toll-free 

number which subscribers may call to 

obtain information about pay-per-call 

services. Similar billing disclosure 

requirements apply to charges for 

information services either billed to 

subscribers on a collect basis or 

accessed by subscribers through a tollfree number. The billing disclosure 

requirements are intended to ensure that 

telephone subscribers billed for pay-percall or other information services can 

understand the charges levied and are 

informed of their rights and 

responsibilities with respect to payment 

of such charges.
