pools, hot tubs, whirlpools and 

fountains without fish. It is also 

registered to control growth of algae, 

bacteria, and fungi in recirculating 

cooling towers, industrial air washing 

systems, and as a materials preservative 

in metal cutting fluids. Organic Esters of 

Phosphoric Acid is used primarily as a 

fungicide and bacteriostat, with the 

main use site being a material 

preservative for carpet backings. Some 

other use sites include paint, textiles, 

vinyl products, polymeric laminates, 

and epoxy flooring and tile. EPA has 

determined that the data base to support 

reregistration is substantially complete 

and that products containing 

Diiodomethyl p-tolyl sulfone (Amical 

48), Busan 77, and Organic Esters of 

Phosphoric Acid are eligible for 

reregistration, provided the risks are 

mitigated either in the manner 

described in the REDs or by another 

means that achieves equivalent risk 

reduction. Upon submission of any 

required product specific data under 

section 4(g)(2)(B) of FIFRA and any 

necessary changes to the registration 

and labeling (either to address concerns 

identified in the REDs or as a result of 

product specific data), EPA will make a 

final reregistration decision under 

section 4(g)(2)(C) of FIFRA for products 

containing Diiodomethyl p-tolyl sulfone 

(Amical 48), Busan 77, and Organic 

Esters of Phosphoric Acid. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide 

Tolerance Reassessment and 

Reregistration; Public Participation 

Process, published in the Federal 

Register on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) 

(FRL–7357–9) explains that in 

conducting these programs, EPA is 

tailoring its public participation process 

to be commensurate with the level of 

risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, 

and degree of public concern associated 

with each pesticide. Due to its uses, 

risks, and other factors, Diiodomethyl ptolyl sulfone (Amical 48), Busan 77, and 

Organic Esters of Phosphoric Acid were 

reviewed through the modified 4–Phase 

process. Through this process, EPA 

worked extensively with stakeholders 

and the public to reach the regulatory 

decisions for Diiodomethyl p-tolyl 

sulfone (Amical 48), Busan 77, and 

Organic Esters of Phosphoric Acid. 

The reregistration program is being 

conducted under congressionally 

mandated time frames, and EPA 

recognizes the need both to make timely 

decisions and to involve the public. The 

Agency is issuing the Diiodomethyl ptolyl sulfone (Amical 48), Busan 77, and 

Organic Esters of Phosphoric Acid REDs 

for public comment. This comment 

period is intended to provide an 

additional opportunity for public input 

and a mechanism for initiating any 

necessary amendments to the RED. All 

comments should be submitted using 

the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be 

received by EPA on or before the closing 

date. These comments will become part 

of the Agency Dockets for Diiodomethyl 

p-tolyl sulfone (Amical 48), Busan 77, 

and Organic Esters of Phosphoric Acid. 

Comments received after the close of the 

comment period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ 

EPA is not required to consider these 

late comments. 

The Agency will carefully consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and will provide a Response to 

Comments Memorandum in the Docket 

and regulations.gov. If any comment 

significantly affects the document, EPA 

also will publish an amendment to the 

RED in the Federal Register. In the 

absence of substantive comments 

requiring changes, the Diiodomethyl ptolyl sulfone (Amical 48), Busan 77, and 

Organic Esters of Phosphoric Acid REDs 

will be implemented as it is now 

presented. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, 

directs that, after submission of all data 

concerning a pesticide active ingredient, 

the Administrator shall determine 

whether pesticides containing such 

active ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration, before calling in product 

specific data on individual end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Submitted for 

Review to the Office of Management 

and Budget, Comments Requested

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0763. 

Title: ARMIS Customer Satisfaction 

Report. 

Report Number: ARMIS Report 43–06. 

Type of Review: Extension of an 

existing collection. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 7 respondents; 7 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 720 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. 

Statutory authority for this information 

collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 

sections 11, 161, 219, and 220 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,040 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact. 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Ordinarily, questions of a sensitive 

nature are not involved in the ARMIS 

Customer Satisfaction Report. The 

Commission contends that areas in 

which detailed information is required 

are fully subject to regulation and the 

issue of data being regarded as sensitive 

will arise in special circumstances only. 

In such circumstances, the respondent 

is instructed on the appropriate 

procedures to follow to safeguard 

sensitive data. Any respondent who 

submits information to the Commission 

that they believe is confidential, may 

request confidential treatment of such 

information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: This collection is 

being submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

extend the approval for an additional 

three years. In the Commission’s 

Memorandum Opinion and Order and 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 

08–203, released September 6, 2008, the 

Commission granted in significant part 

AT&T’s petition for forbearance from 

the ARMIS service quality and 

infrastructure reporting requirements, 

subject to certain conditions. In 

addition, the Commission determined 

that its conclusions underlying its 

forbearance decision for AT&T also hold 

true for the other carriers required to file 

ARMIS Reports 43–05, 43–06, 43–07, 

and 43–08. Subject to certain 

conditions, the Commission found that 

the criteria of section 10(a)(1) and (a)(2) 

are satisfied. Given the burdens 

associated with the data reporting, and 

in light of the commitments of the 

reporting carriers, and other continuing 

regulatory requirements, the 

Commission determined that 

forbearance to be in the public interest. 

The Commission noted that the 

reporting carriers have committed to 

continue gathering customer satisfaction 

data and to file those data publicly, 

through ARMIS Report 43–06 filings for 

24 months from the effective date of the 

Commission’s order. Further, the 

Commission noted that this will ensure 

continuity with regard to the customer 

satisfaction data that the Commission 

has collected up to this point, and 

affords the Commission a reasonable 

period of time to consider whether to 

adopt industry-wide reporting 

requirements. The Commission 

therefore adopted that commitment as a 

condition of its forbearance. Finally, the 

Commission granted the same 

forbearance relief to any similarly 

situated carriers who made the same 

commitment, and made clear that the 

relief that the Commission granted is 

not otherwise conditional. 

In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) portion of the Commission’s 

September 6, 2008 Order published in 

the Federal Register on October 15, 

2008 (73 FR 60997), the Commission 

recognized the possibility that customer 

satisfaction data contained in ARMIS 

Report 43–06 might be useful to help 

them make informed choices in a 

competitive market, but only if available 

from the entire relevant industry. The 

Commission tentatively concluded that 

it should collect this type of 

information, and seek comments on 

specific information that the 

Commission could collect. The 

Commission also asked for comments 

on the appropriate mechanism for such 

data collection. 

The information contained in the 

ARMIS Report 43–06 provides the 

necessary detail to enable this 

Commission to fulfill its regulatory 

responsibilities. Automated reporting of 

these data greatly enhances the 

Commission’s ability to process and 

analyze the extensive amounts of data 

that are needed to administer its rules. 

Automating and organizing data 

submitted to the Commission facilitate 

the timely and efficient analysis of 

revenue requirements, rate of return and 

price caps, and provide an improved 

basis for auditing and other oversight 

functions. It also enhances the 

Commission’s ability to quantify the 

effects of policy proposals.
