Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 13, 2022 / Notices 41717 

of emergency dumping to safety of life 

at sea, compliance with permit 

requirements, including general permits 

for burial at sea, for transportation and 

disposal of vessels, and for ocean 

disposal of marine mammal carcasses. 

EPA collects this information to 

ensure that ocean dumping is 

appropriately regulated and will not 

harm human health and the marine 

environment, based on applying the 

Ocean Dumping Criteria. The Ocean 

Dumping Criteria consider, among other 

things: the environmental impact of the 

dumping; the need for the dumping; the 

effect of the dumping on esthetic, 

recreational, or economic values; landbased alternatives to ocean dumping; 

and the adverse effects of the dumping 

on other uses of the ocean. The Ocean 

Dumping Criteria are codified in 40 CFR 

parts 220 through 229. To meet U.S. 

reporting obligation under the London 

Convention, an international treaty on 

ocean dumping, EPA also reports some 

of this information in the annual United 

States Ocean Dumping Report. 

EPA uses ocean dumping information 

to make decisions regarding whether to 

issue, deny, or impose conditions on 

ocean dumping permits issued by EPA 

in order to ensure consistency with the 

Ocean Dumping Criteria. EPA uses 

monitoring and reporting data from 

permittees to assess compliance with 

ocean dumping permits, including 

associated monitoring activities. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents/affected entities may 

include any private person or entity, or 

state, local, or foreign governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit, 

specifically permit authorization and/or 

compliance with permits required under 

MPRSA sections 102 and 104, 33 U.S.C. 

1402 & 1404, and implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR parts 220 through 

229. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,488 respondents per year. 

Frequency of response: The frequency 

of response varies for application and 

reporting requirements for different 

permits. Other than the general permit 

for transportation and disposal of 

vessels, response is required once for 

each permit application, whether a 

single notification to EPA or a permit 

application. Depending on the type of 

MPRSA permit, a permit application 

would be required prior to expiration if 

the permittee seeks re-issuance: general 

permit (once every seven years), special 

permit (once every three years), and 

research permit (once every 18 months). 

Total estimated burden: The public 

reporting and recordkeeping burdens for 

this collection of information are 

estimated to be 3,298 hours per year. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: Annual costs are 

estimated to be $355,104, which 

includes $159,795 for labor and 

$195,309 for capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

significant increase in the burden. There 

is a decrease of 198 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is primarily due to 

a decrease in the average number of 

burial at sea activities reported over the 

last three years.

Total Annual Burden: 27,475 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: 1,125,000. 

Needs and Uses: On November 22, 

2019, the Commission adopted the 

Protecting Against National Security 

Threats to the Communications Supply 

Chain Through FCC Programs, WC 

Docket No. 18–89, Report and Order, 

Order, and Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking, 34 FCC Rcd 11423 (2019) 

(Report and Order). The Report and 

Order prohibits future use of Universal 

Service Fund (USF) monies to purchase, 

maintain, improve, modify, obtain, or 

otherwise support any equipment or 

services produced or provided by a 

company that poses a national security 

threat to the integrity of 

communications networks or the 

communications supply chain. 

On March 12, 2020, the President 

signed into law the Secure and Trusted 

Communications Networks Act of 2019 

(Secure Networks Act), Pub. L. 116–124, 

133 Stat. 158 (2020) (codified as 

amended at 47 U.S.C. 1601–1609), 

which among other measures, directs 

the FCC to establish the Secure and 

Trusted Communications Networks 

Reimbursement Program 

(Reimbursement Program). This 

program is intended to provide funding 

to providers of advanced 

communications service for the 

removal, replacement and disposal of 

certain communications equipment and 

services that pose an unacceptable 

national security risk (i.e., covered 

equipment and services) from their 

networks. The Commission has 

designated two entities—Huawei 

Technologies Company (Huawei) and 

ZTE Corporation (ZTE), along with their 

affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents—as 

covered companies posing such a 

national security threat. See Protecting 

Against National Security Threats to the 

Communications Supply Chain Through 

FCC Programs—Huawei Designation, PS 

Docket No. 19–351, Memorandum 

Opinion and Order, 35 FCC Rcd 14435 

(2020); Protecting Against National 

Security Threats to the Communications 

Supply Chain Through FCC Programs— 

ZTE Designation, PS Docket No. 19–352, 

Memorandum Opinion and Order, DA 

20–1399 (PSHSB rel. Nov. 24, 2020). 

On December 10, 2020, the 

Commission adopted the Second Report 

and Order implementing the Secure 

Networks Act, which contained certain 

new information collection 

requirements. See Protecting Against 

National Security Threats to the 

Communications Supply Chain Through 

FCC Programs, WC Docket No. 18–89, 

Second Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd

14284 (2020) (Second Report and 

Order). These requirements will allow 

the Commission to receive, review and 

make eligibility determinations and 

funding decisions on applications to 

participate in the Reimbursement 

Program that are filed by certain 

providers of advanced communications 

service. These new information 

collection requirements will also assist 

the Commission in processing funding 

disbursement requests and in 

monitoring and furthering compliance 

with applicable program requirements 

to protect against waste, fraud, and 

abuse. 

On December 27, 2020, the President 

signed into law the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2021, appropriating 

$1.9 billion to ‘‘carry out’’ the 

Reimbursement Program and amending 

the Reimbursement Program eligibility 

requirements to expand eligibility to 

include providers of advanced 

communications service with 10 million 

or fewer subscribers. See Public Law 

116–260, Division N-Additional 

Coronavirus Response and Relief, Title 

IX-Broadband internet Access Service, 

§§ 901, 906, 134 Stat. 1182 (2020). The 

Commission has interpreted the term 

‘‘provider of advanced communications 

service’’ to mean ‘‘facilities-based 

providers, whether fixed or mobile, with 

a broadband connection to end users 

with at least 200 kbps in one direction.’’ 

Second Report and Order, 35 FCC Rcd 

at 14332, para. 111. Participation in the 

Reimbursement Program is voluntary 

but compliance with the new 

information collection requirements is 

required to obtain Reimbursement 

Program support. 

The Secure Networks Act requires all 

providers of advanced communications 

service to annually report, with 

exception, on whether they have 

purchased, rented, leased or otherwise 

obtained covered communications 

equipment or service on or after certain 

dates. 47 U.S.C. 1603(d)(2)(B). The 

Second Report and Order adopted a 

new information collection requirement 

to implement this statutory mandate. 

See Secure Networks Act § 5. If the 

provider certifies it does not have any 

covered equipment and services, then 

the provider is not required to 

subsequently file an annual report, 

unless it later obtains covered 

equipment and services. Second Report 

and Order at para. 215. 

Separate from the Reimbursement 

Program, the Secure Networks Act 

requires all providers of advanced 

communications service to annually 

report, with exception, on whether they 

have purchased, rented, leased or 

otherwise obtained covered 

communications equipment or service 

on or after certain dates. 47 U.S.C. 

1603(d)(2)(B). If the provider certifies it 

does not have any covered equipment 

and services, then the provider is not 

required to subsequently file an annual 

report, unless it later obtains covered 

equipment and services. Second Report 

and Order, 35 FCC Rcd at 14370, at 

para. 215. 

The Commission therefore revised 

this information collection contained in 

the Public Notice released by the 

Wireline Competition Bureau on August 

3, 2021. This Public Notice, among 

other things, required providers 

participating in the Reimbursement 

Program to notify the Commission of 

ownership changes using the FCC Form 

5640 to ensure the accuracy of 

information on file for program 

participants when there is a change in 

ownership.
