8200 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 32 / Thursday, February 18, 2016 / Notices 

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 April 18, 

2016. 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 at (202) 418–2991. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–1138. 

Title: Sections 1.49 and 1.54, 

Forbearance Petition Filing 

Requirements. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. 

Number of Respondents: 11 

respondents; 11 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 640 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation To Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 10, 151, 154(i), 

154(j),155(c), 160, 201 and 303(r) of the 

Communications Act of 1934. 

Total Annual Burden: 7,040 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

The Commission is not requesting 

respondents to submit or disclose 

confidential information. Respondents 

may, however, request confidential 

treatment for information they believe to 

be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of 

the Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: Under section 10 of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, telecommunications carriers 

may petition the Commission to forbear 

from applying to a telecommunications 

carrier any statutory provision or 

Commission regulation. When a carrier 

petitions the Commission for 

forbearance, section 10 requires the 

Commission to make three 

determinations with regard to the need 

for the challenged provision or 

regulation. If the Commission fails to act 

within one year (extended by three 

additional months, if necessary) the 

petition is ‘‘deemed granted’’ by 

operation of law. These determinations 

require complex, fact-intensive analysis, 

e.g., ‘‘whether forbearance from 

enforcing the provision or regulation 

will promote competitive market 

conditions.’’ Under the new filing 

procedures, the Commission requires 

that petitions for forbearance must be 

‘‘complete as filed’’ and explain in 

detail what must be included in the 

forbearance petition. The Commission 

also incorporates by reference its rule, 

47 CFR 1.49, which states the 

Commission’s standard ‘‘specifications 

as to pleadings and documents.’’ Precise 

filing requirements are necessary 

because of section 10’s strict time limit 

for Commission action. Also, 

commenters must be able to understand 

clearly the scope of the petition in order 

to comment on it. Finally, standard 

filing procedures inform petitioners 

precisely what the Commission expects 

from them in order to make the statutory 

determinations that the statute requires.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology; and (e) estimates of capital 

or start-up costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Proposed Project 

Collections Related to Synthetic Turf 

Fields with Crumb Rubber Infill— 

New—Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR). 

Background and Brief Description 

Currently in the United States, there 

are more than 12,000 synthetic turf 

fields in use. While the Synthetic Turf 

Council has set guidelines for the 

content of crumb rubber used as infill in 

synthetic turf fields, manufacturing 

processes result in differences among 

types of crumb rubber. Additionally, the 

chemical composition may vary highly 

between different processes and source 

materials and may vary even within 

granules from the same origin. 

Due to the limited information, the 

Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (USEPA) propose to conduct 

two studies to investigate the chemical 

composition and use of crumb rubber 

infill in synthetic turf and the potential 

for exposure to environmental 

constituents that may result from 

contact with crumb rubber infill. 

Prior to study initiation, outreach and 

engagement efforts may be undertaken 

among stakeholders, including but not 

limited to industry representatives, state 

or local partners, and sports coaches. 

These efforts will inform the design and 

implementation of the proposed studies 

and will involve less than ten 

respondents per stakeholder groups. 

The outreach and engagement efforts 

will allow us to better understand the 

manufacturing process for synthetic turf 

and crumb rubber infill and allow us to 

obtain first-hand perspectives on 

activities conducted on synthetic turf 

leading to potential exposures. 

Additionally, outreach efforts will 

involve discussions and coordination 

with state partners to identify their 

current and future research studies on 

synthetic turf. 

The first study, titled ‘‘Determination 

of Field Operating Procedures, Use 

Conditions, and Chemical Composition 

of Crumb Rubber Infill in Synthetic Turf
