consistent and timely federal input that 

will allow EPA, states, tribes, and the 

public to gauge whether pesticides 

represent a concern for aquatic life, for 

example, based on water monitoring 

results. To address these concerns, the 

Agency has begun a process to explore 

how to build on the high quality science 

in both OW and OPP to develop 

additional tools and approaches to 

support consistent and common effects 

characterizations using the best 

available information. If successful, this 

common tiered effects characterization 

methodology and resultant advisory 

values would allow Federal and State 

risk managers to make environmentally 

protective and scientifically defensible, 

timely decisions about chemicals that 

may be found in ambient water in a 

consistent manner while meeting the 

mandates of both CWA and FIFRA. 

A scoping document was published in 

April 2009, http://www.epa.gov/ 

oppefed1/ 

cwa_fifra_effects_methodology/ 

scope.html that described this effort in 

more detail and invited public 

participation in our collective efforts. 

Following through on this invitation, 6 

regional stakeholders meetings where 

held in January 2010. The feedback 

received from stakeholders assisted EPA 

in crafting three draft white papers. 

Now, a national stakeholders meeting is 

being planned for October 29, 2010 to 

solicit input on the Agency’s draft white 

papers that address the following topics: 

(1) The use of various tools to 

estimate aquatic toxicity data; 

(2) approaches for deriving 

community level benchmarks; and 

(3) procedures for better integrating 

plant effects data into community level 

assessments. 

These white papers also describe how 

the potential new tools, methods, and 

analytical approaches that may be used 

by the Agency, state pesticide and water 

quality agencies, and other stakeholders 

to gauge whether pesticides represent a 

concern for aquatic life. Following this 

meeting, the Agency plans to revise the 

white papers, based on public 

comments and feedback from the 

stakeholders. The white papers will 

then be reviewed by EPA’s Science 

Advisory Board in summer 2011.

For more information about the OPP 

Ecological Exposure Assessment Process 

under FIFRA, refer to the following: 

Overview of the Ecological Risk 

Assessment Process in the Office of 

Pesticide Programs, which describes 

how pesticide data are used in 

ecological risk assessments (http:// 

www.epa.gov/oppfead1/endanger/

consultation/ecorisk-overview.pdf). The 

data requirements for aquatic non-target 

plants and animals for pesticides are 

described in title 40 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations, revised July 1, 

2008 (158.660 Non-target Plant 

Protection Data Requirements). The 

required procedures for conducting the 

studies are described in OPPTS 

Harmonized Test Guidelines. Series 850 

Ecological Effects Test Guidelines— 

Public Drafts (http://www.epa.gov/

opptsfrs/publications/

OPPTS_Harmonized/850_Ecological_

Effects_Test_Guidelines/Drafts/). 

Information on procedures used to 

evaluate these studies are described in: 

Standard Evaluation Protocols, the 

guidance document entitled the 

Rejection Rate Analysis: Ecological 

Effects (EPA 738–R–94–035), and in the 

OPP Overview Document. Public 

literature is accessed by OPP through 

EPA’s ECOTOX database (http:// 

cfpub.epa.gov.ecotox/). The ‘‘OPP 

Aquatic Benchmarks,’’ a Web site 

developed by OPP, contains the aquatic 

toxicity endpoints used in pesticide 

assessments (http://www.epa.gov/

benchmarks.htm). 

III. What type of comments does EPA 

want to receive? 

EPA would like the public to 

comment on the following: 

1. The data, tools, and methods 

presented in the white papers; 

2. Alternate tools or methods that EPA 

should consider for extrapolating or 

estimating aquatic toxicity data; 

3. Alternate methods EPA should 

consider for developing community 

level benchmarks or aquatic life 

screening values when minimum data 

requirements for national recommended 

aquatic life criteria are not met; 

4. The types of values that are used 

by states and/or regions for protecting 

aquatic life in the absence of ambient 

water quality criteria; and 

5. Approaches to establishing plantbased criteria, or methods to better 

incorporate plant effects data in 

community level benchmarks.

Technological Advisory Council 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, this 

notice advises interested persons that 

the Federal Communications 

Commission’s (FCC) Technological 

Advisory Council will hold a meeting 

on Thursday, November 4, 2010 in the 

Commission Meeting Room, from 1 p.m. 

to 4 p.m. at the Federal 

Communications Commission, 445 12th 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554. 

DATES: November 4, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications 

Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20554. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Walter Johnston, Chief, Electromagnetic 

Compatibility Division, 202–418–0807; 

Walter.Johnston@FCC.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At this 

meeting, the overall objectives of the 

Technological Advisory Council (TAC) 

will be described and discussion on the 

working methods of the TAC will be 

held. The FCC will attempt to 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 210 / Monday, November 1, 2010 / Notices 67091 

accommodate as many people as 

possible. However, admittance will be 

limited to seating availability. Meetings 

are also broadcast live with open 

captioning over the internet from the 

FCC Live Web page at http:// 

www.fcc.gov/live/. The public may 

submit written comments before the 

meeting to: Walter Johnston, the FCC’s 

Designated Federal Officer for 

Technological Advisory Council by email: Walter.Johnston@fcc.gov or U.S. 

Postal Service Mail (Walter Johnston, 

Federal Communications Commission, 

Room 2–A665, 445 12th Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20554). Open 

captioning will be provided for this 

event. Other reasonable 

accommodations for people with 

disabilities are available upon request. 

Requests for such accommodations 

should be submitted via e-mail to 

fcc504@fcc.gov or by calling the Office 

of Engineering and Technology at 202– 

418–2470 (voice), (202) 418–1944 (fax). 

Such requests should include a detailed 

description of the accommodation 

needed. In addition, please include your 

contact information. Please allow at 

least five days advance notice; last 

minute requests will be accepted, but 

may be impossible to fill. 

Exceptional Circumstances (notice): 

The notice of this meeting is being 

published on less than 15 days notice 

due to exceptional circumstances. It is 

critical that the TAC conduct this 

meeting to organize itself and its 

subgroups as soon as possible in order 

to develop recommendations regarding 

4G and other broadband technologies 

that will be deployed beginning next 

year, as well as developing 

recommendations more generally for job 

creation in the broadband sector. 

However, the only date this year that all 

TAC members could attend, and at 

which sufficient meeting space is 

available at the agency, is November 

4th. Failure to meet on this date would 

push this important meeting back into 

2011 and jeopardize the ability of the 

TAC to fulfill its mission within the 

time frame sought by the Commission. 

Recognizing the late Federal Register 

publication, the agency also issued a 

Public Notice of this meeting on 

Monday, October 25th, in an effort to 

mitigate the late Federal Register 

publication and as an additional way of 

advising the public of this meeting and 

their right to attend.
