industrial discharges of PFAS, and 

implement industrial pretreatment 

requirements, where appropriate. Doing 

so will help reduce downstream PFAS 

contamination and lower the 

concentration of PFOA and PFOS in 

sewage sludge (see Section C of the 

EPA’s December 2022 memorandum 

Addressing PFAS Discharges in NPDES 

Permits and Through the Pretreatment 

Program and Monitoring Programs, 

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

newsreleases/epa-issues-guidancestates-reduce-harmful-pfas-pollution). 

B. Related Actions 

The EPA is planning to conduct the 

next National Sewage Sludge Survey 

(NSSS) in collaboration with the 

publicly owned treatment works 

(POTW) Influent PFAS Study (see 

https://www.epa.gov/biosolids/sewagesludge-surveys). This NSSS will focus 

on obtaining current national 

occurrence and concentration data on 

PFAS in sewage sludge. The data 

generated by the NSSS will help inform 

future risk assessments and risk 

management actions for sewage sludge. 

Additionally, the EPA continues to 

evaluate opportunities to limit PFAS 

discharges from multiple industrial 

categories through the Effluent 

Guidelines Program. The specific 

actions include revising the Organic 

Chemicals, Plastics, and Synthetic 

Fibers Effluent Limitations Guidelines 

(ELGs) to address wastewater discharge 

from PFAS manufacturing facilities; 

revising the Metal Finishing and 

Electroplating ELGs to address 

wastewater discharge from metal 

finishing and electroplating operations 

focusing on facilities using PFAS-based 

fume suppressants and wetting agents; 

and revising the Landfills ELGs to 

address PFAS discharges from landfill 

leachate. The upcoming POTW Influent 

PFAS Study will also help the agency 

prioritize industrial point source 

categories for future study and, as 

appropriate, ELGs (see https://

www.epa.gov/eg/study-pfas-influentpotws). 

C. Final Risk Assessment and Potential 

Future Actions 

After the public comment period has 

closed, the EPA will consider the 

comments received, revise the draft risk 

assessment as appropriate, and prepare 

a final risk assessment. The EPA will 

announce the availability of the final 

risk assessment in the Federal Register. 

If the final risk assessment indicates that 

there are risks above acceptable 

thresholds when using or disposing of 

sewage sludge, the EPA expects to 

propose a regulation under CWA section 

405 to manage PFOA and/or PFOS in 

sewage sludge to protect public health 

and the environment. The EPA may also 

consider developing regulations under 

other statutory authorities to further 

reduce PFAS discharged to WWTPs. 

During the risk management 

deliberation process, the results of the 

final risk assessment may be integrated 

with other considerations, such as 

economic costs and treatment 

feasibility, to reach decisions regarding 

the need for and practicability of 

implementing various risk reduction 

activities. If the EPA proposes 

regulatory standards for PFOA and/or 

PFOS in sewage sludge, the public will 

have an opportunity to provide 

comment.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–0392; FR ID 272605] 

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 March 17, 

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 

Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@

fcc.gov and to nicole.ongele@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Nicole 

Ongele, (202) 418–2991.
