The IPEDS provides information on numbers of students enrolled, degrees completed, other awards earned, dollars expended, staff employed at postsecondary institutions, and cost and pricing information. The amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1998, Part C, Sec. 131, specify the need for the “redesign of relevant data systems to improve the usefulness and timeliness of the data collected by such systems.” As a consequence, in 2000 IPEDS began to collect data through a web-based data collection system and to concentrate on those institutions that participate in Title IV federal student aid programs; other institutions may participate on a voluntary basis.

Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA is releasing for public comment its environmental fate and effects risk assessment and related documents for 4-aminopyridine and soliciting public comment on risk management ideas or proposals. 4-aminopyridine is an avicide used to control nuisance birds. EPA developed the risk assessments and risk characterization for 4-aminopyridine through a modified version of its public process for making pesticide reregistration eligibility decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). 4-aminopyridine is a restricted use avicide with flock alarming properties that controls nuisance birds. When consumed by birds, baits containing 4-aminopyridine elicit alarm and distress reactions among target species. Individual birds that consume the treated bait will react by flapping their wings erratically and issuing audible distress calls which, depending on the reactivity of the species, is supposed to frighten away the remainder of the flock. Reactions of individual birds are expected to vary by species, as will the reaction of the flock to a distressed member. 4-aminopyridine is registered for use on crows, pigeons, grackles, starlings, cowbirds, gulls, and house sparrows, and certain blackbird species in and around structures, feed lots, airports, land fill sites, and in California for protecting vineyards and sprouting agricultural seeds. EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for interested parties to provide comments and input on the Agency's risk assessment for 4-aminopyridine. Such comments and input could address, for example, the availability of additional data to further refine the risk assessments, such as non-target incident information or use rate information, or could address the Agency's risk assessment methodologies and assumptions as applied to this specific pesticide. Through this notice, EPA also is providing an opportunity for interested parties to provide risk management proposals or otherwise comment on risk management for 4-aminopyridine. Risks of concern associated with the use of 4-aminopyridine are: Acute risk to birds, and potential risk to secondary predators feeding on affected species. In targeting these risks of concern, the Agency solicits information on effective and practical risk reduction measures. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical, unusually high exposure to 4-aminopyridine, compared to the general population. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9), explains that in conducting these programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of the issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. For 4-aminopyridine, a modified, 4-Phase process with one comment period seems appropriate in view of its limited use and small number of users. However, if as a result of comments received during this comment period EPA finds that additional issues warranting further discussion are raised, the Agency may lengthen the process and include a second comment period, as needed. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments will become part of the Agency Docket for 4-aminopyridine. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, “the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,” before calling in product-specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: May 22, 2007. Margaret J.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA is making available the Agency's revised risk assessments, initially issued for comment through a **Federal Register** notice published on August 3, 2005, (70 FR 44632) (FRL-7729-2); a response to comments; and related documents for ETO. EPA also is soliciting public comment on risk reduction options for ETO relating to workers risks revised alternatives assessment for identified risks of concern. EPA developed the risk assessments for ETO as part of its public process for making pesticide reregistration eligibility and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). ETO is a fumigant/sterilant used to sterilize medical or laboratory equipment, pharmaceuticals, aseptic packaging, musical instruments, and beekeeping equipment or to reduce microbial load on cosmetics, whole and ground spices or other seasoning materials, and artifacts, archival material or library objects. EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for interested parties to provide risk management proposalsor occupational issues or otherwise comment on risk management for ETO. Risks of concern associated with the use of ETO are as follows: The Agency's occupational exposure assessment for ETO's use as a sterilant indicates that cancer risks are of concern at the current regulatory levels established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA)and recommended by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Non-cancer worker exposure/risk is estimated to be of concern at the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL), but not of concern at the NIOSH recommended exposure limit (REL). Based on available data, the Agency anticipates the following activities to result in potential worker exposure to ETO: Inhalation exposure to ETO during sterilization activities; dermal exposure to ethylene glycol and the halohydrins during post-sterilization activities; and inhalation exposure to off-gassed ETO from treated items during post-sterilization activities. In targeting these risks of concern, the Agency solicits information on effective and practical risk reduction measures. A revised paper outlining various ETO alternatives is also included as a separate document in the ETO docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0203. The Agency is interested in information related to these alternatives. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, ETO is being reviewed through the full 6-Phase public participation process. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments and proposals will become part of the Agency Docket for ETO. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. After considering comments received, EPA will develop and issue the ETO RED. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, “the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,” before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

(d)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. DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA)comments should be submitted on or before July 30, 2007. 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 contacts listed below as soon as possible. ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503,
(202)395-3123, or via fax at
(202)395-5167 or via Internet at *Jasmeet_K._Seehra@omb.eop.gov* and to Cathy Williams, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C823, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC.

(202)418-2918 or via the Internet at *PRA@fcc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-1100. *Title:* Section 15.117, Broadcast Receivers. *Form No.:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities. *Number of Respondents:* 10,000 respondents; 100,000 responses. *Estimated Time Per Response:* 0.25 hours (15 minutes). *Frequency of Response:* One time reporting requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Mandatory. *Total Annual Burden:* 25,000 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* None. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* An assurance of confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does not require the collection of personal identifiable information
(PII)from individuals. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* Not applicable. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission adopted on April 25, 2007, a Second Report and Order, In the Matter of Second Periodic Review of the Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket 03-15, FCC 07-69. The DTV Act amended 47 U.S.C. Section 309(j)(14)(A) to establish a final date of February 17, 2009 set by Congress for the transition from analog to digital television service by full power television broadcasters. In a continuing effort to inform consumers of this impending deadline, the Commission will require sellers at the point-of-sale to alert consumers about analog-only televisions. Analog-only television equipment will not be able to receive an over-the-air broadcast signal unless they get a digital TV or a box to convert the digital signals to analog or subscribe to pay TV service after February 17, 2009. To further protect consumers, the Commission established 47 CFR 15.117(i) which prohibits the manufacture or import of television receivers that do not contain a digital tuner after March 1, 2007. Because the rule does not prohibit sale of analog-only television equipment from inventory, the Commission decided it is necessary to require retailers and other sellers who choose to continue selling analog-only television equipment to display a sign or label disclosing the limitations of analog-only equipment after February 17, 2009. Therefore, the Commission adopted on April 25, 2007, a Second Report and Order, In the Matter of Second Periodic Review of the Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket 03-15, FCC 07-69. This rulemaking established 47 CFR 15.117(k) which became effective on May 25, 2007. 47 CFR 15.117(k) states that any person that displays or offers for sale or rent television receiving equipment that is not capable of receiving, decoding and tuning digital signals that the seller must place conspicuously and in close proximity to the television broadcast receivers a sign containing, in clear and conspicuous print, the Consumer Alert Disclosure. The text should be in a size of type large enough to be clear, conspicuous and readily legible, consistent with the dimensions of the equipment and the label. The information may be printed on a transparent material and affixed to the screen, if the receiver includes a display, in a manner that is removable by the consumer and does not obscure the picture, or, if the receiver does not include a display, in a prominent location on the device, such as on the top or front of the device, when displayed for sale, or the information in this format may be displayed separately immediately adjacent to each television broadcast receiver offered for sale and clearly associated with the analog-only model to which it pertains. This requirement would also apply to persons who offer for sale or television broadcast receivers via direct mail, catalog, or electronic means. The Consumer Alert Disclosure must contain the following text: This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation's transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
