SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through http://

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a

dioxide. 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

part 2. 

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.

Submitted for Review and Approval to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burdens, and as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC or 

the Commission) invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection. 

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
