transmit frequency, channel bandwidth 

and satellite used shall be time 

annotated and maintained for a period 

of not less than 1 year. Records will be 

recorded at time intervals no greater 

than every 20 minutes while the ESV is 

transmitting. The ESV operator will 

make this data available upon request to 

a coordinator, fixed system operator, 

fixed–satellite system operator, NTIA, or 

the Commission within 24 hours of the 

request. 

13. Section 25.222(a)(5) requires ESV 

operators communicating with vessels 

of foreign registry must maintain 

detailed information on each vessel’s 

country of registry and a point of 

contact for the relevant administration 

responsible for licensing ESVs. 

14. Section 25.222(b)(3) states there 

shall be an exhibit included with the 

application describing the geographic 

area(s) in which the ESVs will operate. 

15. Section 25.222(b)(5) requires that 

ESVs that exceed the radiation 

guidelines of Section 1.1310 

Radiofrequency radiation exposure 

limits must provide, with their 

environmental assessment, a plan for 

mitigation of radiation exposure to the 

extent required to meet those 

guidelines. 

The information collection 

requirements accounted for in this 

collection are necessary to determine 

the technical and legal qualifications of 

applicants or licensees to operate a 

station, transfer or assign a license, and 

to determine whether the authorization 

is in the public interest, convenience 

and necessity. Without such 

information, the Commission could not 

determine whether to permit 

respondents to provide 

telecommunication services in the U.S. 

Therefore, the Commission would be 

unable to fulfill its statutory 

responsibilities in accordance with the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, and the obligations imposed 

on parties to the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom 

Agreement.

Commission released a public notice 

announcing GSA’s approval of the 

renewal of the North American 

Numbering Council charter through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Released 

October 16, 2009. 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) has renewed the charter of the 

North American Numbering Council 

(NANC or Council) through September 

25, 2011. The Council will continue to 

advise the Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) on rapidly 

evolving and competitively significant 

numbering issues facing the 

telecommunications industry. 

In October 1995, the Commission 

established the NANC, a Federal 

advisory committee created pursuant to 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 

U.S.C., App. 2 (1988), to advise the 

Commission on issues related to North 

American Numbering Plan (NANP) 

administration in the United States. The 

original charter of the Council was 

effective on October 5, 1995, 

establishing an initial two-year term. 

Amended charters were filed on October 

5, 1997, October 5, 1999, October 5, 

2001, October 5, 2003, September 26, 

2005, and September 27, 2007, each 

renewing the term of the charter for an 

additional two years. 

Since the last charter renewal, the 

Council has provided the Commission 

with critically important 

recommendations regarding number 

administration, such as the 

recommendation regarding the 

assignment of geographic numbers from 

the NANP and a central database to 

support interoperability for Internetbased relay services. In addition, the 

Council reviewed and recommended 

technical requirements for a request for 

proposals associated with a new North 

American Numbering Plan 

Administrator (NANPA) contract. The 

Council also provided detailed 

evaluations of the current NANPA, the 

Pooling Administrator (PA) and the 

Billing and Collection (B&C) Agent. The 

Council will continue to evaluate the 

performances of the NANPA, the PA 

and the B&C Agent on an annual basis. 

Moreover, the Council is presently 

considering and formulating 

recommendations on other important 

numbering-related issues that will 

require work beyond the term of the 

present charter. 

The value of this Federal advisory 

committee to the telecommunications 

industry and to the American public 

cannot be overstated. Numbers are the 

means by which consumers gain access 

to, and reap the benefits of, the public 

switched telephone network. The 

Council’s recommendations to the 

Commission will facilitate fair and 

efficient number administration in the 

United States, and will ensure that 

numbering resources are available to all 

telecommunications service providers 

on a fair and equitable basis, consistent 

with the requirements of the 

Telecommunications Act of 1996.

NTP Testing Program: Nominations and 

Proposed Research Projects 

The NTP actively seeks to identify 

and select for study chemicals and other 

substances for which sufficient 

information is not available to 

adequately evaluate potential human 

health hazards. The NTP accomplishes 

this goal through a formal, open 

nomination and selection process. 

Substances considered appropriate for 

study generally fall into two broad, yet 

overlapping categories: (1) Substances 

judged to have high concern as possible 

public health hazards based on the 

extent of human exposure and/or 

suspicion of toxicity and (2) substances 

for which toxicological data gaps exist 

and additional studies would aid in 

assessing potential human health risks, 

e.g., by facilitating cross-species 

extrapolation or evaluating doseresponse relationships. Nominations are 

subject to a multi-step, formal process of 

review before selections for testing are 

made and toxicological studies are 

designed and implemented. The 

nomination review and selection 

process is accomplished through the 

participation of representatives from the 

NIEHS, other Federal agencies 

represented on the Interagency 

Committee for Chemical Evaluation and 

Coordination (ICCEC)—the NTP Federal 

interagency review committee for NTP 

study nominations, the BSC, the NTP 

Executive Committee—the NTP Federal 

interagency policy body, and the public. 

The nomination review and selection 

process is described in further detail on 

the NTP Web site (http:// 

ntp.niehs.nih.gov/, select ‘‘Nominations 

to the Testing Program’’). 

Table 1 lists new nominations to be 

reviewed at the BSC meeting. 

Background documents for each 

nomination are available on the NTP 

Web site http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/ 

nom. The NTP invites interested parties 

to submit written comments, provide 

supplementary information, or present 

oral comments at the BSC meeting on 

the nominated substances and 

preliminary study recommendations 

(see ‘‘Request for Comments’’ below). 

The NTP welcomes toxicology study 

information from completed, ongoing, 

or anticipated studies, as well as 

information on current U.S. production 

levels, use or consumption patterns, 

human exposure, environmental 

occurrence, or public health concerns 

for any of the nominated substances. 

The NTP is interested in identifying 

appropriate animal and non-animal 

experimental models for mechanisticbased research, including genetically 

modified rodents and high-throughput 

in vitro test methods, and as such, 

solicits comments regarding the use of 

specific in vivo and in vitro 

experimental approaches to address 

questions relevant to the nominated 

substances and issues under 

consideration. Although the deadline
