must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in

2. Tips for Preparing your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the notice by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions. The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

CFR part or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternative and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumption and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Information Specific to the 

Documents 

Two sections of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) govern the establishment and 

revision of the national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS). Section 108 

(42 U.S.C. 7408) directs the 

Administrator to identify and list 

certain air pollutants and then to issue 

air quality criteria for those pollutants. 

The Administrator is to list those air 

pollutants that in his ‘‘judgment, cause 

or contribute to air pollution which may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare’’; ‘‘the presence 

of which in the ambient air results from 

numerous or diverse mobile or 

stationary sources’’; and ‘‘for which . . . 

[the Administrator] plans to issue air 

quality criteria . . .’’ (42 U.S.C. 

7408(a)(1)(A)–(C)). Air quality criteria 

are intended to ‘‘accurately reflect the 

latest scientific knowledge useful in 

indicating the kind and extent of all 

identifiable effects on public health or 

welfare which may be expected from the 

presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient 

air . . .’’ (42 U.S.C. 7408(a)(2)). Under 

section 109 (42 U.S.C. 7409), the EPA 

establishes primary (health-based) and 

secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for 

pollutants for which air quality criteria 

are issued. Section 109(d) requires 

periodic review and, if appropriate, 

revision of existing air quality criteria. 

The revised air quality criteria reflect 

advances in scientific knowledge on the 

effects of the pollutant on public health 

or welfare. The EPA is also required to 

periodically review and revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. Section 109(d)(2) 

requires that an independent scientific 

review committee ‘‘shall complete a 

review of the criteria . . . and the 

national primary and secondary ambient 

air quality standards . . . and shall 

recommend to the Administrator any 

new . . . standards and revisions of the 

existing criteria and standards as may be 

appropriate . . . .’’ Since the early 

1980s, this independent review function 

has been performed by the Clean Air 

Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC). 

Presently, the EPA is reviewing the air 

quality criteria and primary NAAQS for 

sulfur oxides.1 The EPA’s overall plan 

for this review is presented in the 

Integrated Review Plan for the Primary 

NAAQS for Sulfur Dioxide (IRP). The 

EPA is currently working to finalize the 

Integrated Science Assessment for 

Sulfur Oxides—Health Criteria (ISA), 

the second draft of which was reviewed 

by the CASAC at a public meeting in 

March 2017 (82 FR 11449). The Risk 

and Exposure Assessment Planning 

Document for the Review of the Primary 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Sulfur Oxides (REA 

Planning Document) was also reviewed 

by the CASAC at this meeting (82 FR 

11449). The draft REA and draft PA, 

which build on information presented 

in these documents, were the subject of 

review by the CASAC at a public 

meeting on September 18–19, 2017 (82 

FR 37213). The EPA will consider 

comments received from the CASAC 

and the public in preparing revisions to 

these documents. The draft REA and PA 

documents, and other documents in this 

review, referenced above, are available 

on the EPA’s Technology Transfer 

Network Web site at https://

www.epa.gov/naaqs/sulfur-dioxide-so2- 

primary-air-quality-standards. 

The notice of availability for the draft 

REA and draft PA was originally 

published on September 19, 2017, with 

the public comment period closing on 

October 18, 2017 (82 FR 43756). We 

received a request from a member of the 

public to extend the comment period by 

30 days. After considering this request, 

we are extending the comment period 

and, as described above, it will now 

close on November 17, 2017. 

Dated: October 11, 2017.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

[OMB 3060–0812] 

Information Collection Being 

Submitted for Review and Approval to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection.

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 158 and 47 

U.S.C. 159, Sections 4(i), 4(j) 8, 9, and 

303(r) of the Communications Act, as 

amended. 

Total Annual Burden: 10,016 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No Cost. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Licensees or regulatees concerned about 

disclosure of sensitive information in 

any submissions to the Commission 

may request confidential treatment 

pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the 

Commission’s rules. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60-day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three-year 

clearance from them. 

This information collection 

consolidates and revises the currently 

approved information collection 

requirements under OMB Control 

Numbers 3060–0655 and 3060–1064 

into 3060–0812. 

The Commission provides broadcast 

licensees and commercial mobile radio 

service (CMRS) licensees with a ‘‘trueup’’ opportunity to update or otherwise 

correct their assessed fee amounts well 

before the actual due date for payment 

of regulatory fees. Providing a ‘‘true-up’’ 

opportunity is necessary because the 

data sources that are used to generate 

the fee assessments are subject to 

change at time of transfer or assignment 

of the license. The ‘‘true-up’’ is also an 

opportunity for regulatees to correct 

inaccuracies. 

Per 47 CFR 1.1119 and 1.1166, the 

FCC may, upon a properly submitted 

written request, waive or defer 

collection of an application fee or 

waive, reduce, or defer payment of a 

regulatory fee in a specific instance for 

good cause shown where such action 

would promote the public interest. 

When submitting the request, no 

specific form is required. 

FCC requires that when licensees or 

regulates request exemption from 

regulatory fees based on their non-profit 

status, they must file a one-time 

documentation sufficient to establish 

their non-profit status. The 

documentation may take the form of an 

IRS Determination Letter, a state charter 

indicating non-profit status, proof of 

church affiliation indicating tax exempt 

status, etc.
