Funding Opportunity Description *Purpose of Program:* To provide grants that demonstrate partnerships between Russian and American institutions of higher education that contribute to the development and promotion of educational opportunities between the two nations, particularly in the areas of mutual foreign language learning and the cooperative study of mathematics and science. *Priority:* Under this competition, we are particularly interested in applications that address the following priority. *Invitational Priority:* For FY 2007 this priority is an invitational priority. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not give an application that meets this invitational priority a competitive or absolute preference over other applications. This priority is designed to support the formation of educational consortia of American and Russian institutions to encourage mutual socio-cultural-linguistic cooperation; the coordination of joint development of curricula, educational materials, and other types of educational and methodological activities; and the conduct of related joint educational research. This invitational priority is issued in cooperation with the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. These awards support only the participation of U.S. institutions, faculty and students in these consortia. Russian institutions eligible to participate in any consortium proposal have been pre-selected by the Russian Federation from the Russian Federation's “Development of Higher Education” competition. The Russian Federation has identified the following Russian institutions as eligible for participation in this competition: • Plekhanov Russian Academy of Economics. • Moscow Engineering Physics Institute (State University) (MEPhI). • Southern Federal University (SFU). These institutions, if part of a U.S.-Russian consortium, will receive separate but parallel funding from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

Do not include the CFDA number's alpha suffix in your search (e.g., search for 84.326, not 84.326S). Please note the following: • When you enter the Grants.gov site, you will find information about submitting an application electronically through the site, as well as the hours of operation. • Applications received by Grants.gov are date and time stamped. Your application must be fully uploaded and submitted, and must be date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system no later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. Except as otherwise noted in this section, we will not consider your application if it is date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system later than 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. When we retrieve your application from Grants.gov, we will notify you if we are rejecting your application because it was date and time stamped by the Grants.gov system after 4:30 p.m., Washington, DC time, on the application deadline date. • The amount of time it can take to upload an application will vary depending on a variety of factors including the size of the application and the speed of your Internet connection. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline date to begin the submission process through Grants.gov. • You should review and follow the Education Submission Procedures for submitting an application through Grants.gov that are included in the application package for this competition to ensure that you submit your application in a timely manner to the Grants.gov system. You can also find the Education Submission Procedures pertaining to Grants.gov at *http://e-Grants.ed.gov/help/GrantsgovSubmissionProcedures.pdf.* • To submit your application via Grants.gov, you must complete all steps in the Grants.gov registration process (see *http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp).* These steps include

(1)registering your organization, a multi-part process that includes registration with the Central Contractor Registry (CCR);

(2)registering yourself as an Authorized Organization Representative (AOR); and

(3)getting authorized as an AOR by your organization. Details on these steps are outlined in the Grants.gov 3-Step Registration Guide (see *http://www.grants.gov/section910/Grants.govRegistrationBrochure.pdf).* You also must provide on your application the same D-U-N-S Number used with this registration. Please note that the registration process may take five or more business days to complete, and you must have completed all registration steps to allow you to submit successfully an application via Grants.gov. In addition you will need to update your CCR registration on an annual basis. This may take three or more business days to complete. • You will not receive additional point value because you submit your application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you if you qualify for an exception to the electronic submission requirement, as described elsewhere in this section, and submit your application in paper format. • You must submit all documents electronically, including all information you typically provide on the following forms: Application for Federal Education Assistance (SF 424), the Department of Education Supplemental Information for SF 424, Budget Information—Non-Construction Programs (ED 524), and all necessary assurances and certifications. Please note that two of these forms—the SF 424 and the Department of Education Supplemental Information for SF 424—have replaced the ED 424 (Application for Federal Education Assistance). • You must attach any narrative sections of your application as files in a .DOC (document), .RTF (rich text), or .PDF (Portable Document) format. If you upload a file type other than the three file types specified in this paragraph or submit a password-protected file, we will not review that material. • Your electronic application must comply with any page-limit requirements described in this notice. • After you electronically submit your application, you will receive from Grants.gov an automatic notification of receipt that contains a Grants.gov tracking number. (This notification indicates receipt by Grants.gov only, not receipt by the Department.) The Department then will retrieve your application from Grants.gov and send a second notification to you by e-mail. This second notification indicates that the Department has received your application and has assigned your application a PR/Award number (an ED-specified identifying number unique to your application). • We may request that you provide us original signatures on forms at a later date. *Application Deadline Date Extension in Case of Technical Issues with the Grants.gov System:* If you are experiencing problems submitting your application through Grants.gov, please contact the Grants.gov Support Desk at 1-800-518-4726.

The Department will contact you after a determination is made on whether your application will be accepted. Note: The extensions to which we refer in this section apply only to the unavailability of, or technical problems with, the Grants.gov system. We will not grant you an extension if you failed to fully register to submit your application to Grants.gov before the application deadline date and time or if the technical problem you experienced is unrelated to the Grants.gov system. *Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement:* You qualify for an exception to the electronic submission requirement, and may submit your application in paper format, if you are unable to submit an application through the Grants.gov system because— • You do not have access to the Internet; or • You do not have the capacity to upload large documents to the Grants.gov system; *and* • No later than two weeks before the application deadline date (14 calendar days or, if the fourteenth calendar day before the application deadline date falls on a Federal holiday, the next business day following the Federal holiday), you mail or fax a written statement to the Department, explaining which of the two grounds for an exception prevent you from using the Internet to submit your application.

Application Review Information *Selection Criteria:* The selection criteria for evaluating applications for this program are from 34 CFR 75.210 of EDGAR and are listed in the application package. VI. Award Administration Information 1. *Award Notices:* If your application is successful, we notify your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award Notice (GAN). We may notify you informally, also. If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, we notify you. 2. *Administrative and National Policy Requirements:* We identify administrative and national policy requirements in the application package and reference these and other requirements in the *Applicable Regulations* section of this notice. We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of an award in the *Applicable Regulations* section of this notice and include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also incorporates your approved application as part of your binding commitments under the grant. 3. *Reporting:* At the end of your project period, you must submit a final performance report, including financial information, as directed by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an annual performance report that provides the most current performance and financial expenditure information as specified by the Secretary in 34 CFR 75.118. The Secretary may also require more frequent performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific requirements on reporting, please go to *http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.* 4. *Performance Measures:* The success of this program depends upon—(1) The extent to which funded projects are being replicated (i.e., adopted or adapted by others); and

(2)The manner in which projects are being institutionalized and continued after funding. These two performance measures constitute the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education's (FIPSE's) indicators of the success of the program. If funded, you will be asked to collect and report data from your project on steps taken toward achieving these goals. Consequently, applicants are advised to include these two outcomes in conceptualizing the design, implementation, and evaluation of their proposed projects. Institutionalization and replication are important outcomes that ensure the ultimate success of international consortia funded through this program. Directly related to these two performance measures is the capacity for projects to develop long-term research and educational collaboration and exchanges of students, faculty, and administrative personnel of U.S. and Russian institutions.

The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site under the “e-Filing” link. Dated: August 14, 2007. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. [FR Doc.

E7-15463 Filed 8-7-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0434; FRL-8133-9] 2,4-D, 2,4-DP, and 2,4-DB; Decision Not to Initiate Special Review AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's Decision Not to Initiate a Special Review for 2,4-D, 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP. Based on extensive scientific review of many epidemiology and animal studies, the Agency finds that the weight of the evidence does not support a conclusion that 2,4-D, 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP are likely human carcinogens. The Agency has determined that the existing data do not support a conclusion that links human cancer to 2,4-D exposure. This conclusion applies to 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP because they were considered for Special Review based solely on their similarity to 2,4-D. In addition, because they are used significantly less than 2,4-D, their contribution to exposure is minimal relative to 2,4-D. Because the Agency has determined that the existing data do not support a conclusion that links human cancer to 2,4-D exposure, the Agency is not initiating a Special Review of 2,4-D, 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP. This decision was first proposed on March 23, 1988 (53 FR 9590). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard P.

You may access this **Federal Register** document electronically through the EPA Internet under the “ **Federal Register** ” listings at *http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/* . II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? On September 22, 1986, the Agency issued a preliminary notification of Special Review of 2,4-D. Because of their similarity to 2,4-D, on December 3, 1986, EPA issued preliminary notifications of Special Review of 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP. These notices were issued because of concerns for epidemiological links of 2,4-D, 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from both occupational and residential exposure. A proposed decision Not to Initiate Special Review was published on March 23, 1988 ((53 FR 9590; FRL-3353-3)) based on findings that such a link is not supported by the existing data. Two sets of comments were received in response to the proposal, both on behalf of the 2,4-D Task Force. Both sets supported the proposed decision, but questioned the need for a new cancer study. The latter point is moot because the registrant ultimately conducted and submitted an acceptable cancer study. The final decision was deferred until a more comprehensive review of 2,4-D was completed. This review was completed with the signature of the Reregistration Eligibility Decision for 2,4-D in June of 2005. To address the potential link of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to 2,4-D exposure, a joint Science Advisory Board/Scientific Advisory Panel Special Joint Committee was convened to review available epidemiological and other data on 2,4-D. In 1992, the Committee concluded that “the data are not sufficient to conclude that there is a cause and effect relationship between exposure to 2,4-D and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.” 2,4-D was classified as a Group D, “not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity.” To help better inform the Agency, EPA requested further histopathological examinations of mouse and rat tissue from previously conducted studies. These exams were submitted and reviewed, and on March 16, 1999, the Agency notified the 2,4-D Task Force that the EPA would continue to classify 2,4-D as a Group D carcinogen. The Agency has twice recently reviewed epidemiological studies linking cancer to 2,4-D exposure. In the first review, completed January 14, 2004, EPA concluded there is no additional evidence that would implicate 2,4-D as a cause of cancer (EPA, 2004). The second review of available epidemiological studies occurred in response to comments received during Phase 3 of the Public Participation Process for the 2,4-D RED. EPA's report, dated December 8, 2004, found that none of the more recent epidemiological and animal studies support a conclusion that 2,4-D, 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP are likely human carcinogens. Because the Agency has determined that the existing data do not support a conclusion that links human cancer to 2,4-D exposure, it has decided not to initiate a Special Review of 2,4-D, 2,4-DB and 2,4-DP. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? A pesticide product may be sold or distributed in the United States only if it is registered or exempt from registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended (7 U.S.C. 136 *et seq* .). Before a product can be registered it must be shown that it can be used without causing “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment,” FIFRA section 3(c)(5). The term “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment” is defined in FIFRA section 2(bb) as “any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide.” The burden of proving that a pesticide meets this standard for registration is, at all times, on the proponent of initial or continued registration. If at any time the Agency determines that a pesticide no longer meets this standard, the Administrator may cancel this registration under section 6 of FIFRA. The Special Review process provides a mechanism to permit public participation in EPA's deliberations prior to issuance of any Notice of Final Determination describing the regulatory action which the Administrator has selected. The Special Review process, which was previously called the Rebuttable Presumption Against Registration

(RPAR)process, is described in 40 CFR part 154, published in the **Federal Register** of November 27, 1985 (50 FR 49003, 49015; FRL-2914-6). The purpose of this process is to determine whether some or all registrations of a particular active ingredient or ingredients meet the FIFRA standard for registration, or whether amendment of the terms and conditions of registration or cancellation of portions or all of the registrations is appropriate. Prior to formal initiation of a Special Review, a preliminary notification is sent to registrants and applicants for registration pursuant to 40 CFR 154.21 announcing that the Agency is considering commencing a Special Review. Registrants and applicants for registration are allowed 30 days from receipt of the notification to comment on the Agency's proposal to commence a Special Review. If the Agency determines, after issuance of a notification pursuant to 40 CFR 154.21, that it will not conduct a Special Review, it is required under 40 CFR 154.23 to issue a proposed decision to be published in the **Federal Register** . That regulation requires that a period of not less than 30 days be provided for public comment on the Proposed Decision Not to Initiate a Special Review. Subsequent to receipt and evaluation of comments on the Proposed Decision Not to Initiate a Special Review, pursuant to 40 CFR 154.25 the Administrator must publish in the **Federal Register** his final decision regarding whether or not to initiate a Special Review. As discussed above, the Agency previously published a notice pursuant to 40 CFR 154.23 for these compounds, considered public comments and has decided not to initiate the Special Review under 40 CFR 154.25(b).

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the registrants to amend their registrations to terminate certain uses of products containing the pesticide azinphos-methyl

(AZM)and to cancel their registrations by September 30, 2012. The requests would terminate AZM use on Brussels sprouts and nursery stock not sooner than the later of September 30, 2007 or 90 days from the date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the registrants; terminate AZM use on walnuts, almonds, and pistachios by October 30, 2009; and cancel all AZM products by September 30, 2012. The cancellation requests would serve to terminate the five uses of AZM (apples, pears, cherries, blueberries and parsley) remaining in 2012. The registrants have conditioned these requests on EPA making certain determinations regarding AZM, including a determination, by not later than November 11, 2011, regarding the availability of AZM alternatives. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests. Any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order acting upon these requests.

Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and/or Amend Registrations to Delete Uses AZM is an organophosphate insecticide that was first registered in the United States in 1959. It is currently used on apples, blueberries, cherries, pears, parsley, Brussels sprouts, nursery stock, almonds, walnuts, and pistachios. On November 16, 2006, EPA issued a determination that the farm worker and ecological risks of AZM require the phaseout of all remaining AZM uses by 2012. In conjunction with that determination, in letters dated November 15, 2006, November 16, 2006, November 17, 2006, and November 24, 2006, Bayer CropScience, Arysta LifeScience, Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc., and Gowan Company, respectively, requested that EPA terminate certain uses in 2007 and 2009 and cancel all affected product registrations in 2012 (identified in Table 1 of this notice), subject to certain terms and conditions. Specifically they requested the deletion of the Brussels sprouts and nursery stock uses from their registrations not sooner than the later of September 30, 2007 or 90 days from the date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the registrants; deletion of the walnut, almond, and pistachio uses not sooner than October 30, 2009; and the cancellation of all AZM registrations (thereby ending AZM use on apples, pears, cherries, blueberries, and parsley) not sooner than September 30, 2012. Other terms and conditions described in the letters include: 1. A condition that the requests for termination of use and voluntary cancellation shall not be made effective until EPA conducts an independent scientific review of a submission from the registrants requesting reconsideration of EPA's decision to maintain an inter-species uncertainty factor in its risk assessment of AZM for agricultural workers; and 2. A condition that the requests for voluntary cancellation of all AZM products shall not become effective unless i. EPA holds at least one public meeting to obtain views regarding the continued need for access to AZM prior to July 1, 2011; and ii. EPA makes a determination not later than November 1, 2011 for the remaining uses of AZM whether to conduct a risk-benefit analysis for AZM prior to the cancellation of these uses. If the actions described above result in the retention of any AZM use beyond the stop-use date (as provided in the existing stocks provisions below and in appendix A of the November 16, 2006 Final Decisions for the Remaining Uses of Azinphos-methyl), the registrants may request that product labeling be amended consistent with the terms of such actions and EPA shall grant any amendment that is consistent with such actions and the provisions of 40 CFR part 156. III. What Action is the Agency Taking? This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants to terminate uses and cancel all AZM product registrations. The affected products and the registrants making the requests are identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. EPA believes this is the complete list of all such products; however, the registrants' requests extend to all AZM products irrespective of whether they are specifically listed in the tables below. Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless: 1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or 2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment. The AZM registrants have requested that EPA waive the 180-day comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed requests. Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an order will be issued amending and canceling the affected registrations. **Table 1.—AZM Product Registrations with Pending Requests for Amendment and Cancellation** Registration No. Product name Company 264-722 Guthion Technical Insecticide Bayer Crop Science 264-733 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science CA800146 Guthion 50% Wettable Powder in Water Soluble Packets Bayer Crop Science ID000006 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science NJ990010 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science OH020005 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science OR040020 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science TX030011 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science WA000001 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science WA030025 Guthion Solupak 50% Wettable Powder Insecticide Bayer Crop Science 11678-53 Cotnion-Methyl Makhteshim Chemical Works LTD 66222-11 Cotnion-Methyl Azinphos-methyl 50W Makhteshim Agan of North America Inc. 10163-78 Gowan Azinphos-M 50 WSB Gowan Company 10163-95 Azinphos Methyl Technical Gowan Company 66330-233 Azinphos Methyl 50W Arysta Lifescience Table 2 of this unit includes the names and addresses of record for the registrants of the products listed in Table 1 of this unit. **Table 2.—Registrants Requesting Voluntary Cancellation and/or Amendments** EPA Company No. Company name and address 264 Bayer Crop Science P.O.

What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the **Federal Register** . Thereafter, following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such a request. V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks For purposes of this notice, EPA considers existing stocks to be those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in the United States and which were packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. In any order issued in response to these requests for amendments to terminate uses, the Agency proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products identified or referenced in Table 1. These provisions are consistent with the requests for use deletions and requests for voluntary cancellations outlined in Unit II. of this notice: 1. *Distribution or sale* . i. EPA intends to prohibit distribution or sale of products bearing the Brussels sprouts and nursery stock uses not sooner than the later of September 30, 2007 or 90 days from the date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the registrants, except that sale or distribution of products bearing these uses for the purposes of proper disposal, reformulation, relabeling, or export consistent with section 17 of FIFRA may continue until such stocks are depleted. ii. For products bearing all other uses, EPA intends to prohibit distribution or sale of such products after September 30, 2012 except that sale or distribution of such products for the purposes of proper disposal, reformulation, relabeling, or export consistent with section 17 of FIFRA may continue until such stocks are depleted. 2. *Use* . EPA intends to prohibit use of the subject products on: i. Brussels sprouts and nursery stock after September 30, 2007 or 90 days from the date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the registrants; ii. Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios after October 30, 2009; and iii. All remaining uses (apples, pears, cherries, blueberries and parsley) after September 30, 2012. The stop use dates for the uses listed in items ii. and iii. above will also be reflected on amended product labeling. Any use of existing stocks must be consistent with the directions for use on product labeling. If the request for voluntary cancellation and use termination is granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the **Federal Register.** List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision

(RED)for the pesticide case, benzoic acid under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. The benzoic acid case contains four benzyl derivative compounds of which benzyl benzoate has active registrations. Benzyl benzoate is an insecticide/miticide used to control dust mites in carpets, mattresses, upholstery, and on furniture, as well as for control of mites on dogs. EPA has determined that the data base to support reregistration is substantially complete and that products containing benzyl benzoate are eligible for reregistration. Upon submission of any required product specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products containing benzyl benzoate. 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, benzoic acid was reviewed through the modified 1-Phase process. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the benzoic acid RED for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the RED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for benzoic acid. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the benzoic acid RED will be implemented as it is now presented. 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.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 1. *Ethyl Parathion* : On May 16, 1986, as required by 40 CFR 154.21, EPA provided the registrants a preliminary notification that EPA was considering initiating a Special Review of Ethyl Parathion. The basis for the concern was acute toxicity to humans from oral and dermal exposure and to birds from dietary and dermal exposures. In 1991, to address the human health concerns, the registrants voluntarily canceled many uses of ethyl parathion and imposed several mitigation measures for the remaining nine uses. In 2002, all products being manufactured for sale in the U.S. were voluntarily canceled. However, four ethyl parathion product registrations held by Drexel Chemical Company that had not been manufactured for several years were not included in the 2002 cancellation actions. On March 16, 2005, Drexel Chemical Company requested voluntary cancellation for the four registrations. The cancellation of the four remaining ethyl parathion product registrations was effective on December 13, 2006. Under 40 CFR 154.23, the Administrator must provide his rationale for not initiating a Special Review and provide an opportunity for comment. Because there are no remaining product registrations, and thus the risk concerns have been mitigated, EPA is proposing not to initiate a Special Review for Ethyl Parathion. The public will have until September 7, 2007 to comment on this proposal. Once comments are reviewed, EPA will issue a notice in the **Federal Register** with its final determination as to whether or not to initiate a Special Review for Ethyl Parathion. 2. *Tribuyltin Antifoulants* : The Special Review of Tribuyltin Antifoulants was initiated on January 8, 1986. Studies indicated toxicity to non-target marine and fresh water organisms at low levels, in some cases, at the parts per trillion level. On October 4, 1988, EPA partially concluded the Special Review for Tributyltin Antifoulants (53 FR 390222-41). The Special Review was concluded except for the issue of the release rates of TBT from antifoulant paints into the environment. Since that time, all antifouling paint products containing TBT have been voluntarily canceled. The last cancellation was effective on December 1, 2005. Under 40 CFR 154.31, the Administrator must provide his rationale for terminating a Special Review and provide an opportunity for comment. Because there are no remaining pesticide registrations for the antifouling paint use, EPA is proposing to terminate the Special Review of Tributytin Anitfoulants. The public will have until September 7, 2007 to comment on this proposal. Once comments are reviewed, EPA will issue a notice in the **Federal Register** with its final determination as to whether or not to terminate the Special Review of Tributytin Antifoulants. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? A pesticide product may be sold or distributed in the United States only if it is registered or exempt from registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended (7 U.S.C. 136 *et seq* .). Before a product can be registered it must be shown that it can be used without causing “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment,” FIFRA section 3(c)(5). The term “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment” is defined in FIFRA section 2(bb) as “any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide.” The burden of proving that a pesticide meets this standard for registration is, at all times, on the proponent of initial or continued registration. If at any time the Agency determines that a pesticide no longer meets this standard, the Administrator may cancel this registration under section 6 of FIFRA. The Special Review process provides a mechanism to permit public participation in EPA's deliberations prior to issuance of any Notice of Final Determination describing the regulatory action which the Administrator has selected. The Special Review process, which was previously called the Rebuttable Presumption Against Registration

(RPAR)process, is described in 40 CFR part 154, published in the **Federal Register** of November 25, 1985 (50 FR 49015). The purpose of this process is to determine whether some or all registrations of a particular active ingredient or ingredients meet the FIFRA standard for registration, or whether amendment of the terms and conditions of registration or cancellation of portions or all of the registrations is appropriate. Prior to formal initiation of a Special Review, a preliminary notification is sent to registrants and applicants for registration pursuant to 40 CFR part 154.21 announcing that the Agency is considering commencing a Special Review. Registrants and applicants for registration are allowed 30 days from receipt of the notification to comment on the Agency's proposal to commence a Special Review. If the Agency determines, after issuance of a notification pursuant to 40 CFR 154.21, that it will not conduct a Special Review, it is required under 40 CFR 154.23(b) to issue a proposed decision to be published in the **Federal Register** . The portion of this Notice concerning ethyl parathion is being issued pursuant to 40 CFR 154.23(b). That regulation requires that a period of not less than 30 days be provided for public comment on the Proposed Decision Not to Initiate a Special Review. Subsequent to receipt and evaluation of comments on the Proposed Decision Not to Initiate a Special Review, pursuant to 40 CFR 154.25 the Administrator must publish in the **Federal Register** his final decision regarding whether or not to initiate a Special Review. If the Agency determines, after issuance of a notification pursuant to 40 CFR 154.21, that it will initiate a Special Review, 40 CFR 154.23(c) requires the Administrator to publish a Notice of Special Review in the **Federal Register** . To conclude the Special Review after a Special Review has been initiated, 40 CFR 154.31 requires the Administrator to first publish a Notice of Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. The portion of this Notice concerning the Tributylin Antifoulants is being issued pursuant to 40 CFR 154.31. That regulation requires the Administrator to respond to all significant comments received on the Notice of Special Review and, among other things, make a preliminary determination of whether any of the applicable risk criteria have been satisfied. Finally, after receipt and evaluation of comments on the Notice of Preliminary Determination, 40 CFR 154.33 requires that the Administrator publish in the **Federal Register** a Notice of Final Determination, including the reasons for the determination.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's proposed determination to terminate the Special Review of oxydemeton-methyl (ODM). On October 5, 1987, in the **Federal Register,** EPA initiated a Special Review of ODM because of its potential to adversely affect reproduction of workers who mix, load, and apply products containing ODM. Since the initiation of the Special Review, additional data and more comprehensive reviews of potential risks associated with ODM exposure have been completed, including those described in the 2002 Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision

(IRED)for ODM. During the reregistration process EPA conducted a public, intensive review of ODM risks. In the 2002 IRED and subsequent label amendments, the Agency addressed the occupational risk concerns, including risks associated with potential reproductive effects. There continues to be evidence of reproductive effects; however, there is no evidence that these effects inhibit the ability of organisms to reproduce. Similarly, further data and analysis have addressed the concern for heritable effects. With the label amendments that have been made since the initiation of Special Review, ODM exposure is expected to be below the levels where any reproductive effects occur. Because the risks that were the basis of the Special Review are no longer of concern, the Agency is proposing to terminate the Special Review of ODM.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? On October 5, 1987, (52 FR 37248; FRL-3273-1) EPA initiated a Special Review of oxydemeton-methyl

(ODM)because of its potential to adversely affect reproduction of workers who mix, load, and apply products containing ODM. The Agency's concerns regarding reproductive effects were based primarily on the results of a two-generation rat reproduction study and interim progress reports from an ongoing male rat reproductive toxicity study. Observed reproductive effects were decreased parental body weight, parental testes weight and fertility index, vacuolation of the corpus epididymus, decreased litter size, decreased pup weight and increased pup mortality. Since the initiation of the Special Review, additional data and more comprehensive reviews of potential risks associated with ODM exposure have been completed, including those described in the 2002 Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decision

(IRED)for ODM. In addition, during the reregistration process EPA conducted an intensive and public review of whether or not ODM registrations, meet the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) standard for registration. In the 2002 IRED and subsequent label amendments, the Agency addressed the occupational risk concerns, including risk associated with potential reproductive effects. There continues to be evidence of reproductive effects; however, there is no evidence that these effects inhibit the ability of organisms to reproduce. Similarly, further data and analysis have addressed the concern for heritable effects. With the label amendments that have been made since the initiation of Special Review, ODM exposure is expected to be below the levels where any reproductive effects occur. Because the risks that were the basis of the Special Review are no longer of concern, the Agency is proposing to terminate the Special Review of ODM. The final risk management decision regarding the risk to workers exposed to ODM was completed with the 2002 IRED. A detailed description of the rationale and supporting documents can be found in *http://www.regulations.gov* under EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0281. As described above and in the 2002 IRED, concerns regarding reproductive effects were addressed under FIFRA and no further action is required at this time. As such, EPA is proposing to terminate the Special Review of ODM. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? A pesticide product may be sold or distributed in the United States only if it is registered or exempt from registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended (7 U.S.C. 136 *et seq* .). Before a product can be registered it must be shown that it can be used without causing “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment,” FIFRA section 3(c)(5). The term “unreasonable adverse effects on the environment” is defined in FIFRA section 2(bb) as “any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of the use of any pesticide.” The burden of proving that a pesticide meets this standard for registration is, at all times, on the proponent of initial or continued registration. If at any time the Agency determines that a pesticide no longer meets this standard, the Administrator may cancel this registration under section 6 of FIFRA. The Special Review process provides a mechanism to permit public participation in EPA's deliberations prior to issuance of any Notice of Final Determination describing the regulatory action which the Administrator has selected. The Special Review process, which was previously called the Rebuttable Presumption Against Registration (RPAR), is described in 40 CFR part 154, published in the **Federal Register** of November 27, 1985 (50 FR 49003, 49015; FRL 2914-6). The purpose of this process is to determine whether some or all registrations of a particular active ingredient or ingredients meet the FIFRA standard for registration, or whether amendment of the terms and conditions of registration or cancellation of portions or all of the registrations is appropriate. Prior to formal initiation of a Special Review, a preliminary notification is sent to registrants and applicants for registration pursuant to 40 CFR 154.21 announcing that the Agency is considering commencing a Special Review. Registrants and applicants for registration are allowed 30 days from receipt of the notification to comment on the Agency's proposal to commence a Special Review. If the Agency determines, after issuance of a notification pursuant to 40 CFR 154.21, that it will initiate a Special Review, 40 CFR 154.23(c) requires the Administrator to publish a Notice of Special Review in the *Federal Register* . To conclude the Special Review after a Special Review has been initiated, 40 CFR 154.31 requires the Administrator to first publish a Notice of Preliminary Determination in the **Federal Register** . This Notice concerning the ODM is being issued pursuant to 40 CFR 154.31. That regulation requires the Administrator to respond to all significant comments received on the Notice of Special Review and, among other things, make a preliminary determination of whether any of the applicable risk criteria have been satisfied. Finally, after receipt and evaluation of comments on the Notice of Preliminary Determination, 40 CFR 154.33 requires that the Administrator publish in the **Federal Register** a Notice of Final Determination, including the reasons for the determination.

Ask for: Grant Guidelines to States for Implementing the Operator Training Provision of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPA 510-R-07-005, August 2007). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tim R. Smith, EPA's Office of Underground Storage Tanks, at *smith.timr@epa.gov* or

(703)603-7158. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Title XV, Subtitle B of this act, titled the Underground Storage Tank Compliance Act of 2005, contains amendments to Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act. This is the first federal legislative change for the underground storage tank

(UST)program since its inception over 20 years ago. The UST provisions of the law significantly affect federal and state UST programs, require major changes to the programs, and are aimed at further reducing UST releases to our environment. Among other things, the UST provisions of the Energy Policy Act require that states receiving funding under Subtitle I comply with certain requirements contained in the law. OUST worked, and is continuing to work, with its partners to develop grant guidelines that EPA regional tank programs will incorporate into states' grant agreements. The guidelines will provide states that receive UST funds with specific requirements, based on the UST provisions of the Energy Policy Act, for their state UST programs. Sections 9010(a) and

(b)of Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by Section 1524 of the Energy Policy Act, require EPA to publish guidelines that establish training requirements for three distinct classes of UST system operators and require states to develop state-specific training requirements consistent with the guidelines. As a result of that requirement, EPA worked with states and other UST stakeholders to develop the operator training grant guidelines. In April 2007, EPA published in the **Federal Register** a draft of the operator training grant guidelines. EPA considered comments and today is publishing the operator training grant guidelines. EPA will incorporate these guidelines into grant agreements between EPA and states. States receiving funds from EPA for their UST programs must comply with the UST provisions of the Energy Policy Act and will be subject to action by EPA under 40 CFR 31.43 if they fail to comply with the guidelines. *Statutory and Executive Order Reviews:* Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a “significant regulatory action” and is therefore not subject to OMB review. Because this grant action is not subject to notice and comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute, it is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. Section 601 et.) or Sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1999

(UMRA)(Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Although this action does create new binding legal requirements, such requirements do not substantially and directly affect tribes under Executive Order 13175 (63 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Although this grant action does not have significant federalism implications under Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), EPA consulted with states in the development of these grant guidelines. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, “Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. This action does not involve technical standards; thus, the requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. Section 272 note) do not apply. This action does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Section 3501 *et seq.* ). The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 *et seq.* , generally provides that before certain actions may take effect, the agency promulgating the action must submit a report, which includes a copy of the action, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. Since this final action will contain legally binding requirements, it is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA will submit a report to Congress containing this final action prior to the publication of this action in the **Federal Register.** Grant Guidelines to States for Implementing the Operator Training Provision of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Office of Underground Storage Tanks Contents Overview of Operator Training Grant Guidelines Why Is EPA Issuing These Guidelines?

For More Information About the Operator Training Grant Guidelines Background About The Energy Policy Act Of 2005 Appendix: The Three Operator Classes At A Glance Overview of Operator Training Grant Guidelines Why Is EPA Issuing These Guidelines? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in consultation with states, developed these grant guidelines as required by the operator training provision in Section 9010(a) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA), enacted by the Underground Storage Tank Compliance Act, part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 signed by President Bush on August 8, 2005. Section 1524 of the Energy Policy Act amends Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act by adding Section 9010. Section 9010 requires EPA to publish guidelines that specify training requirements for three classes of operators: • Persons having primary responsibility for on-site operation and maintenance of underground storage tank systems. • Persons having daily on-site responsibility for the operation and maintenance of underground storage tank systems. • Daily, on-site employees having primary responsibility for addressing emergencies presented by a spill or release from an underground storage tank system. Section 9010(a)(2) requires EPA to consider: • State training programs in existence when the guidelines are published. • Training programs that are being used by tank owners and operators as of August 8, 2005. • The high turnover rate of tank operators and other personnel. • The frequency of improvement in underground storage tank equipment technology. • The business in which tank operators are engaged. • The substantial differences in the scope and length of training needed for the three classes of operators. • Such other factors as EPA finds necessary to carry out Section 9010. Section 9010(b)(2) also requires each state receiving Subtitle I funding (hereafter referred to as “state”), to develop state-specific training requirements that: • Are consistent with EPA's guidelines. • Are developed in cooperation with tank owners and operators. • Consider training programs implemented by tank owners and operators. • Are appropriately communicated to tank owners and operators. In addition, Section 9010(c) requires that all persons who are subject to the operator training requirements specified in these guidelines must: • Meet the state-specific training requirements. • Repeat applicable requirements if the tank for which they have primary daily on-site management responsibilities is determined to be out of compliance with a requirement or standard of 40 CFR part 280 or a requirement or standard of a state program approved under Section 9004. EPA's Office of Underground Storage Tanks

(OUST)is issuing these grant guidelines to establish the minimum requirements a state receiving Subtitle I funding must meet in order to comply with the operator training provisions of the Energy Policy Act. What Is in These Guidelines? These guidelines describe the minimum requirements a state's underground storage tank

(UST)program must contain in order for a state to comply with the Section 9010 requirements for Subtitle I funding. These guidelines include: a description of the classes of operators; required training for each class of operator; deadlines when operator training is required; and examples of acceptable state approaches to operator training. When Do These Guidelines Take Effect? These guidelines are effective August 8, 2007. Operator Training Requirements What Is Operator Training? Underground storage tank operator training means any program that meets the requirements of these guidelines. Such a program is designed to ensure knowledge regarding operating and maintaining underground storage tank systems. What Underground Storage Tank Systems Do These Guidelines Apply to? These guidelines apply to underground storage tank systems regulated under Subtitle I, except those excluded by regulation at 40 CFR 280.10(b) and those deferred by regulation at 40 CFR 280.10(c). How Does a State Implement These Guidelines? A state implements these guidelines by: • Requiring operator training for all operators in each class. • Developing state-specific operator training requirements consistent with EPA's guidelines by August 8, 2009. State-specific operator training requirements must: • Be developed in cooperation with tank owners and operators; • Take into consideration training programs implemented by tank owners and tank operators; and • Be appropriately communicated to tank owners and operators. • Establishing a procedure to identify individuals who are required to be trained under the operator training requirements specified in these guidelines. • Ensuring all operators are trained in accordance with these guidelines. States may choose to be more stringent than these minimum requirements. Who Is Subject to Operator Training Requirements and What Are the Requirements? For purposes of implementing the operator training requirements, these guidelines establish three classes of operators identified as Class A, Class B, and Class C. Each underground storage tank system or group of underground storage tank systems at a facility must have a Class A, Class B, and Class C operator designated. All individuals designated as a Class A, B, or C operator must, at a minimum, be trained according to these guidelines. Separate individuals may be designated for each class of operator described above or an individual may be designated to more than one of the above operator classes. An individual who is designated to more than one operator class must be trained in each operator class for which he or she is designated. Because an individual may be designated for more than one operator class, states may allow a training approach that encompasses training for more than one operator class. States must establish a procedure to identify individuals who are required to meet the operator training requirements specified in these guidelines. For example, a state may accomplish this by requiring that underground storage tank system owners or operators identify, for each underground storage tank system or group of underground storage tank systems at a facility, at least one name for each class of operator outlined in these guidelines. These guidelines in no way relieve the owner or operator, as defined in 40 CFR part 280, from any legal responsibility mandated by the Federal underground storage tank regulations or requirements of a state underground storage tank program approved by EPA under SWDA Section 9004. There may be occasions when a Class A, Class B, or Class C operator will not be present at the facility. For example, operators are frequently not present at unmanned facilities, such as emergency generators at telecommunication towers and card lock/card access facilities. However, these operators are still responsible for operation and maintenance activities or responding to emergencies and must be trained according to these guidelines. To assist states in identifying responsible individuals to be trained pursuant to these guidelines, the following sections characterize, in general terms, each class of operator. These sections also identify general training requirements pertaining to operating and maintaining underground storage tank systems. See Appendix (The Three Operator Classes At A Glance) which describes the operator classes and the objectives of training requirements. States must further specify training for each individual class of operator by developing state-specific training requirements. Class A Operator A Class A operator has primary responsibility to operate and maintain the underground storage tank system. The Class A operator's responsibilities include managing resources and personnel, such as establishing work assignments, to achieve and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. In general, this individual focuses on the broader aspects of the statutory and regulatory requirements and standards necessary to operate and maintain the underground storage tank system (i.e., 40 CFR part 280 or requirements of a state underground storage tank program approved by EPA under SWDA Section 9004). For example, this individual typically ensures that appropriate individual(s): • Properly operate and maintain the underground storage tank system. • Maintain appropriate records. • Are trained to operate and maintain the underground storage tank system and keep records. • Properly respond to emergencies caused by releases or spills from underground storage tank systems at the facility. • Make financial responsibility documents available to the underground storage tank implementing agency as required. At a minimum, the Class A operator must be trained in the following: • A general knowledge of underground storage tank system requirements so he or she can make informed decisions regarding compliance and ensure appropriate individuals are fulfilling operation, maintenance, and recordkeeping requirements and standards of 40 CFR part 280 or requirements and standards of a state underground storage tank program approved by EPA under SWDA Section 9004 regarding: • Spill prevention. • Overfill prevention. • Release detection. • Corrosion protection. • Emergency response. • Product compatibility. • Financial responsibility documentation requirements. • Notification requirements. • Release and suspected release reporting. • Temporary and permanent closure requirements. • Operator training requirements. Class B Operator A Class B operator implements applicable underground storage tank regulatory requirements and standards (i.e., 40 CFR part 280 or requirements of a state underground storage tank program approved by EPA under SWDA Section 9004) in the field. This individual implements day-to-day aspects of operating, maintaining, and recordkeeping for underground storage tanks at one or more facilities. For example, this individual typically monitors, maintains, and ensures: • Release detection method, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements are met. • Release prevention equipment, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements are met. • All relevant equipment complies with performance standards. • Appropriate individuals are trained to properly respond to emergencies caused by releases or spills from underground storage tank systems at the facility. Compared with training for the Class A operator, training for the Class B operator will provide a more in-depth understanding of operation and maintenance aspects, but may cover a more narrow breadth of applicable regulatory requirements. States may require either site-specific operator training, which is focused only on equipment used at the underground storage tank facility, or broader training regarding regulatory requirements that, at a minimum, encompass the following: • Components of underground storage tank systems. • Materials of underground storage tank system components. • Methods of release detection and release prevention applied to underground storage tank components. • Operation and maintenance requirements of 40 CFR part 280 or requirements of a state underground storage tank program approved by EPA under SWDA Section 9004 that apply to underground storage tank systems and include: • Spill prevention. • Overfill prevention. • Release detection. • Corrosion protection. • Emergency response. • Product compatibility. • Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. • Class C operator training requirements. Class C Operator A Class C operator is an employee and is, generally, the first line of response to events indicating emergency conditions. This individual is responsible for responding to alarms or other indications of emergencies caused by spills or releases from underground storage tank systems. This individual notifies the Class B or Class A operator and appropriate emergency responders when necessary. Not all employees of the facility are necessarily Class C operators. This individual typically: • Controls or monitors the dispensing or sale of regulated substances, or • Is responsible for initial response to alarms or releases. At a minimum, the Class C operator must be trained to: • Take action in response to emergencies (such as, situations posing an immediate danger or threat to the public or to the environment and that require immediate action) or alarms caused by spills or releases from an underground storage tank system. When Must Operators Be Trained? States must ensure that Class A, Class B, and Class C operators are trained according to state-specific training requirements by August 8, 2012, which is three years after the date states are required to develop state-specific training requirements. A state may want to establish a schedule for phasing in the training over this time. After August 8, 2012, states must require operators be trained as follows: • Class A and Class B operators must be trained within 30 days or another reasonable period specified by the state, after assuming operation and maintenance responsibilities at the underground storage tank system. • Class C operators must be trained before assuming responsibility for responding to emergencies. If a state determines an underground storage tank system is out of compliance, appropriate operator(s) must be retrained. States may determine whether both Class A and Class B operators are retrained, or if only one class of operator (either Class A or Class B) is retrained. At a minimum, an underground storage tank system is out of compliance if the system: • Does not meet EPA's Significant Operational Compliance requirements for release prevention and release detection measures identified at: *http://www.epa.gov/oust/cmplastc/soc.htm;* or • Is not in significant compliance with other requirements, such as financial responsibility, as determined by the state. Operators must be retrained within a reasonable time frame established by the state. At a minimum, retraining must include training of the areas determined not in significant compliance. States requiring at least annual operator training that covers all operator class requirements would meet retraining requirements. What Training Approaches Would Meet the Operator Training Requirements? Operator training must evaluate operator knowledge of the minimum training requirements described for each class of operator in these guidelines. The following is a list of acceptable approaches to meet training requirements stated in these guidelines: • An operator training program conducted or developed by the state or by a third party that has received prior state 1 approval. The program may include in-class, on-line, or hands-on training. Such a program must include an evaluation of operator knowledge. Examples include testing, practical demonstration, or other tools determined as acceptable by the state. 1 States might need to establish criteria to determine the suitability of any training provider or curriculum of training courses provided. • An appropriately administered and evaluated verification of operator knowledge (i.e., examination). This determination must be accomplished through an operator examination designed to measure operator knowledge as required in these guidelines. The state or a third party acceptable to the state may administer this examination. The examination process must be acceptable to the state and reasonably determine the person tested has the necessary knowledge and skills to be considered competent to operate underground storage tanks. • For Class C operator training, the state may accept training conducted by a trained Class A or Class B operator. • To address operators responsible for underground storage tank systems in multiple states, states may develop a program that accepts operator training verification from other states. • Any combination of the above listed operator training approaches or comparable training approaches recognized by the state. How May States Ensure All Operators Are Trained in Accordance With These Guidelines? States must have a system in place for ensuring all operators are trained in accordance with these guidelines. The following are some examples for meeting this requirement. • Require owners or operators maintain records documenting the training received for all Class A, Class B, and Class C operators either: At the underground storage tank site and immediately available for inspection by the implementing agency; or at a readily available alternative site and be provided for inspection to the implementing agency upon request. • Require owners or operators report Class A, Class B, and Class C operator compliance to the implementing agency. What Enforcement Authority Must States Have for Operator Training? At a minimum, states must have comparable enforcement authorities for their operator training requirements as they have for current underground storage tank requirements. How Will States Demonstrate Compliance With These Guidelines? After August 8, 2009, and before receiving future grant funding, states must provide one of the following to EPA: • For a state that has met the requirements for operator training, the state must submit a certification indicating that the state meets the requirements in the guidelines. • For a state that has not yet met the requirements for operator training, the state must provide a document that describes the state's efforts to meet the requirements. This document must include: • A description of the state's activities to date to meet the requirements in the guidelines; • A description of the state's planned activities to meet the requirements; and • The date by which the state expects to meet the requirements. EPA may verify state certifications of compliance through site visits, record reviews, or audits as authorized by 40 CFR part 31. How Will EPA Enforce State's Compliance With the Requirements in These Guidelines? As a matter of law, each state that receives funding under Subtitle I, which would include a Leaking Underground Storage Tank

(LUST)Cooperative Agreement, must comply with certain underground storage tank requirements of Subtitle I. The Agency will establish terms and conditions on grants and cooperative agreements for underground storage tank activities to require compliance with applicable requirements as a condition of funding. EPA will address noncompliance with these terms and conditions by utilizing EPA's grant enforcement authorities under 40 CFR 31.43, as necessary and appropriate.

Background About the Energy Policy Act of 2005 On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Title XV, Subtitle B of this act (titled the Underground Storage Tank Compliance Act) contains amendments to Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal Act—the original legislation that created the underground storage tank

(UST)program. These amendments significantly affect federal and state underground storage tank programs, will require major changes to the programs, and are aimed at reducing underground storage tank releases to our environment. The amendments focus on preventing releases. Among other things, they expand eligible uses of the Leaking Underground Storage Tank

(LUST)Trust Fund and include provisions regarding inspections, operator training, delivery prohibition, secondary containment and financial responsibility, and cleanup of releases that contain oxygenated fuel additives. Some of these provisions require implementation by August 2006; others will require implementation in subsequent years. To implement the new law, EPA and states will work closely with tribes, other federal agencies, tank owners and operators, and other stakeholders to bring about the mandated changes affecting underground storage tank facilities. To see the full text of this new legislation and for more information about EPA's work to implement the underground storage tank provisions of the law, see: *http://www.epa.gov/oust/fedlaws/nrg05_01.htm* . Appendix.—The Three Operator Classes At A Glance Class A Operator Class B Operator Class C Operator Who fits this class of operator? The individual who generally focuses on the statutory and regulatory requirements related to operating and maintaining the underground storage tank system The individual who is generally responsible for field implementation of applicable underground storage tank regulatory requirements and implements day-to-day aspects of operating, maintaining, and recordkeeping for USTs at one or more facilities The individual who is generally the first line of response to events indicating emergency conditions or responding to alarms. What is the objective of the training requirements? Ensure broad knowledge of regulatory requirements Ensure in-depth knowledge of implementing regulatory requirements Ensure knowledge of actions to take in the event of a leak or other emergency.

The Privacy Impact Assessment was completed on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at: *http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html.* *Needs and Uses:* The reporting requirements included under this OMB Control Number 3060-0519 enable the Commission to gather information regarding violations of the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act (Do-Not-Call Act). If the information collection was not conducted, the Commission would be unable to track and enforce violations of the Do-Not-Call Act. The Do-Not-Call rules provide consumers with several options for avoiding most unwanted telephone solicitations. This national do-not-call registry supplements the current company-specific do-not-call rules for those consumers who wish to continue requesting that particular companies not call them. Any company, which is asked by a consumer, including an existing customer, not to call again must honor that request for five

(5)years. The Commission retains the current calling time restrictions of 8 a.m. until 9 p.m. However, a provision of the Commission's rules allows consumers to give specific companies permission to call them through an express written agreement. Nonprofit organizations, companies with whom consumers have an established business relationship, and calls to persons with whom the telemarketer has a personal relationship are exempt from the “do-not-call” requirements. On September 21, 2004, the Commission released the *Safe Harbor Order* establishing a limited safe harbor in which persons will not be liable for placing autodialed and prerecorded message calls to numbers ported from a wireline service within the previous 15 days. The Commission also amended its existing national do-not-call registry safe harbor to require telemarketers to scrub their lists against the do-not-call database every 31 days. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-1078. *Title:* Rules and Regulations Implementing the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003, CG Docket No. 04-53. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 11,027,600. *Estimated Time per Response:* 1-11 hours (average per response). *Frequency of Response:* Recordkeeping requirement; On occasion reporting requirements; Third party disclosure requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Mandatory. *Total Annual Burden:* 115,645,100 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $37,105,283. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* An assurance of confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does not require the collection of personally identifiable information from individuals. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Needs and Uses:* The reporting requirements included under this OMB Control Number 3060-1078 enables the Commission to collect information regarding violations of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM Act).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Number:* 3060-0180. *Title:* Section 73.1610, Equipment Tests. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 500. *Estimated Hours per Response:* 0.5 hours. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 250 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* None. *Nature of Response:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Confidentiality:* No need for confidentiality required. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Needs and Uses:* 47 CFR 73.1610 requires the permittee of a new broadcast station to notify the FCC of its plans to conduct equipment tests for the purpose of making adjustments and measurements as may be necessary to assure compliance with the terms of the construction permit and applicable engineering standards. The data is used by FCC staff to assure compliance with the terms of the construction permit and applicable engineering standards. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0188 *Title:* Call Sign Reservation and Authorization System. *Form Number:* FCC Form 380. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Businesses or other for-profit, Not-for-profit institutions; State, local, or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 1,600. *Estimated Hours per Response:* 0.166-0.5 hours. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 333 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $142,000. *Nature of Response:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Confidentiality:* No need for confidentiality required. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Needs and Uses:* 47 CFR 73.3550 provides that all requests for new or modified call signs be made via the on-line call sign reservation and authorization. The FCC Form 380 is an on-line system for the electronic preparation and submission of requests for the reservation and authorization of new and modified call signs. Access to the call sign reservation and authorization system is made by broadcast licensees and permittees, or by persons acting on their behalf, via the Internet. This on-line, electronic call sign system enables users to determine the availability and licensing status of call signs; to request an initial, or change an existing, call sign; and to determine and submit more easily the appropriate fee, if any. 47 CFR 74.783 also permits any low power television

(LPTV)station to request a four-letter call sign after receiving its construction permit. All initial LPTV construction permits will continue to be issued with a five-character alpha-numeric LPTV call sign. LPTV licensees/permittees are also required to use the on-line call sign reservation and authorization system. The call sign reservation and authorization system is used by permittees, licensees, or persons acting on their behalf to determine the availability of a call sign and to request an initial call sign or change an existing call sign. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0439. *Title:* Section 64.201, Regulations Concerning Indecent Communications by Telephone. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities; Individuals or households. *Number of Respondents:* 10,200. *Estimated Time per Response:* 0.16 hours (10 minutes average per response). *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 1,632 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* None. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* Confidentiality is an issue to the extent that individuals and households provide personally identifiable information (PII), which is covered under the FCC's system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, “Informal Complaints and Inquiries.” *Privacy Impact Assessment:* Yes.

It may be reviewed at: *http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html* . *Needs and Uses:* Under Section 223 of the Communications Act of 1932, as amended, telephone companies are required, to the extent technically feasible, to prohibit access to indecent communications from the telephone of a subscriber who has not previously requested access. 47 CFR 64.201 of the Commission's rules implements Section 223 of the Communications Act and contains several information collection requirements:

(1)A requirement that certain common carriers block access to indecent messages unless the subscriber seeks access from the common carrier (telephone company) in writing;

(2)A requirement that adult message service providers notify their carriers of the nature of their programming; and

(3)A requirement that a provider of adult message services request that their carrier identify it as such in bills to its subscribers. The information requirements are imposed on carriers, adult message service providers, and those who solicit their services to ensure that minors are denied access to material deemed indecent. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0665. *Title:* Section 64.707, Public Dissemination of Information by Providers of the Operator Services. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities. *Number of Respondents:* 436. *Estimated Time per Response:* 4 hours (average per response). *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Mandatory. *Total Annual Burden:* 1,744 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 personally identifiable information

(PII)from individuals. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Needs and Uses:* As required by 47 U.S.C. 226(d)(4)(b) of the Communication's Act, 47 CFR 64.707 of the Commission's rules, provides that operator service providers must regularly publish and make available upon request from consumers written materials that describe any changes in operator services and choices available to consumers. Consumers use the information to increase their knowledge of the choices available to them in the operator services marketplace. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0973. *Title:* Section 64.1120(e), Sale of Transfer of Subscriber Base to Another Carrier, CC Dockets 00-257 and 94-129. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities. *Number of Respondents:* 75. *Estimated Time per Response:* 5 hours (average per response). *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 450 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 personally identifiable information

(PII)from individuals. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impacts(s). *Needs and Uses:* Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.1120(e) of the Commission's rules, an acquiring carrier will self-certify to the Commission, in advance of the transfer, that the carrier will comply with the required procedures, including giving advance notice to the affected subscribers in a manner that ensures the protection of their interests. By streamlining the carrier change rules, the Commission will continue to protect consumers' interests and, at the same time, will ensure that its rules do not inadvertently inhibit routine business transactions. On July 16, 2004, the Commission released a *First Order on Reconsideration and Fourth Order on Reconsideration* which made a minor modification to 47 CFR 64.1120(e)(iii) of the Commission's rules. The modification in the rule did not impose any new or modified information collection requirements nor did it affect the existing annual hourly and cost changes. Federal Communications Commission.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act

(PRA)of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act

(PRA)that does not display a valid control number. Comments are requested concerning

(a)whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility;

(b)the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate;

(c)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and

(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 September 7, 2007. If you anticipate that you will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC contact listed below as soon as possible. ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Jasmeet K. Seehra, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503,

Herman at 202-418-0214 or via the Internet at *Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0999. *Title:* Section 20.19, Hearing Aid-Compatible Mobile Handsets (Hearing Aid Compatibility Act). *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 925 respondents; 1,850 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 2-160 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Annual reporting requirement and third party disclosure requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Mandatory. *Total Annual Burden:* 6,050 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* Information requested in the annual reports might need to disclose confidential information. However, covered entities would be allowed to request that such materials submitted to the Commission be withheld from public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to OMB as a revision during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission is reporting a decrease in the number of respondents that are no longer subject to the rules because they have met certain benchmark requirements. The estimate regarding the annual hourly burden requires adjustment because the Commission did not impose the semi-annual reporting requirement on all three groups. Instead, it required wireless service providers and digital wireless handset manufacturers to report every six months for the first three years of implementation, and then annually thereafter through the fifth year of implementation. The Commission expects that each company would utilize staff engineers to draft the reports, and each report would take about two hours to draft. Therefore, the service provider and handset manufacturer reports to an estimated total of four hours per entity for the first three years, and will take two hours per entity in the current (fourth) and the fifth year. Thus, the annual burden for the remaining information collections involving annual reports is 925 (965 entities were reported to OMB in 2004) × 2 hours per entity = 1,850 hours per year. The actual hour burden may be less because the Commission gave these entities the option to submit joint reports, if desired. The Commission anticipates there may be ongoing modifications to the technical standard. We expect that a subset of approximately 50 of the 965 entities will meet and make modifications to the technical standard for the remaining years. The total estimated annual burden hours for these entities are 4,200 hours. Additionally, we anticipate that 12 principal representatives will account for 1,920 hours (12 entities × 160 per entity = 1,920 hours) and 38 representatives will account for 2,280 hours (38 entities × 60 hours per entity = 2,280). 1,920 + 2,280 hours = 6,050 total annual burden hours is being reported to OMB. *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0950. *Title:* Bidding Credits for Tribal Lands. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal government. *Number of Respondents:* 3 respondents; 3 responses. *Estimated Time per Response:* 10-180 hours. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement and recordkeeping requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Total Annual Burden:* 600 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $108,000. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* There is no need for confidentiality. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission will submit this information collection to OMB as an extension (no change in reporting or recordkeeping requirements) during this comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. Due to significantly less respondents (−1,310 respondents estimated in 2004) since the last submission to the OMB, the Commission has adjusted the number of respondents, burden hours and annual costs for this information collection. Although there are currently three applicants taking part in the Tribal Land Bidding Credit

(TLBC)program, almost all applicants in any auction where TLBCs are available could take part in the program. Because so many could participate, we need to continue this collection. On June 2000, the Commission adopted rules and policies to encourage the deployment of wireless services to tribal lands. Pursuant to the objectives and requirements of section 309(j)(3) and

(4)of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended and in conjunction with the 1990 Census which indicates that communities on tribal lands have historically had less access to telecommunications services than any other segment of the population. The Commission adopted rules and policies to encourage deployment of wireless services to tribal communities. On March 2003, the Commission adopted rules which extended the time period during which winning bidders can negotiate with relevant tribes to obtain the certification needed to obtain the bidding credit in a particular market from 90 days to 180 days. On August 2004, the Commission adopted a third final rule which raised the wireline telephone penetration rate at which tribal lands are eligible for a bidding credit from 70 percent or less to 85 percent or less, and increased the amount of the bidding credit available to carriers that pledge to deploy on and serve qualifying tribal lands. A winning bidder seeking a bidding credit to serve a qualifying tribal land within a particular market must meet specific requirements (filing FCC Form 601) and various certifications from tribal government stating specific requirements are met. The Commission believes that the lack of basic telecommunications services puts affected tribal communities at a social and economic disadvantage. This information collection will be used to ensure that tribal communities within federally-recognized tribal areas have access to wireless telecommunications services equivalent to that of the nation as a whole.

If the Commission receives a request for or proposes to disclose the information, the respondent would be required to make the full showing pursuant to the Commission's rules for withholding from public inspection information submitted to the Commission. *Needs and Uses:* The 60-day Notice for this collection was published as an extension. Since that publication, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision and the Commission issued an order affecting this collection which requires that the collection now be submitted as a revision. Specifically, on June 1, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Circuit, in *Vonage Holdings Corp.* v. *FCC,* generally affirmed the *2006 Contribution Methodology Order* . The Court, however, vacated the pre-approval requirement for traffic studies submitted by interconnected VoIP providers and the interim suspension of the carrier's carrier rule. Later, on June 15, 2007, the Commission released an Order requiring interconnected VoIP providers to contribute to the Telecommunications Relay Service

(TRS)fund. The revised 2007 FCC 499-A and 499-Q forms and instructions contained in this submission incorporate the changes required by the *Vonage Holdings Corp. Decision and TRS Contribution Order* . The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) requires telecommunications carriers and other providers of telecommunications to contribute to the Universal Service Fund

(USF)and other funds. Contribution revenue data, as well as other information, are reported by carriers and other providers of telecommunications on FCC Forms 499-A and 499-Q. Accompanying these forms are instructions on how to report revenue. This revision is necessary to incorporate the changes required by the Vonage Holdings Corp. Decision and TRS Contribution Order and will go into effect with the November 1, 2007 quarterly filing of FCC Form 499-Q. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0937. *Title:* Establishment of a Class A Television Service, MM Docket No. 00-10. *Form Number:* Not applicable. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities. *Number of Respondents:* 560. *Estimated Time per Response:* 0.017—52 hours. *Frequency of Response:* Recordkeeping requirement; On occasion reporting requirement; Quarterly reporting requirement; Third party disclosure requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 263,168 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $1,295,500. *Nature of Response:* Required to obtain or retain benefits. *Confidentiality:* No need for confidentiality required. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Needs and Uses:* On November 29, 1999, the Community Broadcasters Protection Act of 1999 (CBPA), Pub. L. No. 106-113, 113 Stat. Appendix I at pp. 1501A-594-1501A-598 (1999), codified at 47 U.S.C. 336(f), was enacted. That legislation provided that a low power television

(LPTV)licensee should be permitted to convert the secondary status of its station to the new Class A status, provided it can satisfy certain statutorily-established criteria. The CBPA directs that Class A licensees be subject to the same license terms and renewal standards as full-power television licenses and that Class A licensees be accorded primary status as television broadcasters as long as they continue to meet the requirements set forth in the statute for a qualifying low power station. The CBPA sets out certain certification and application procedures for LPTV licensees seeking Class A designation, prescribes the criteria LPTV licensees must meet to be eligible for Class A licenses, and outlines the interference protection Class A applicants must provide to analog, digital, LPTV and TV translator stations. The CBPA directs that Class A stations must comply with the operating requirements for full-service television broadcast stations. Therefore, beginning on the date of its application for a Class A license and thereafter, a station must be “in compliance” with the Commission's operating rules for full-service television stations, contained in 47 CFR part 73.

(202)418-2918 or via the Internet at *PRA@fcc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0874. *Title:* Consumer Complaint Forms, FCC Form 475-B and FCC Form 2000. *Form No.:* FCC Forms 475-B; 2000-A, 2000-B, 2000-C, 2000-D, 2000-E, and 2000-F. *Type of Review:* Revision of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Individuals or households; Business and other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit Institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 1,330,108 (FCC Forms 475-B: 1,271,332; 2000A through 2000F: 58,776). *Estimated Time per Response:* 15 minutes per form for the Form 475-B; 30 minutes per form for the Form 2000. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement. *Obligation to Respond:* Voluntary. *Total Annual Burden:* 347,221 (FCC Forms 475-B: 317,833 hours; 2000A through 2000F: 29,388 hours). *Total Annual Costs:* $0. *Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:* Confidentiality is an issue to the extent that individuals and households provide personally identifiable information, which is covered under the FCC's system of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, “Informal Complaints and Inquiries.” *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* Yes. The Privacy Impact Assessment was completed on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at: *http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html* . *Needs and Uses:* Section 208(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, authorizes complaints by any “person complaining of anything done or omitted to be done by any common carrier” subject to the provisions of the Act. Section 208(a) further states that, if a carrier does not satisfy a complaint or there appears to be any reasonable ground for investigating the complaint, the Commission shall “investigate the matters complained of in such manner and by such means as it shall deem proper.” Although the Act does not discuss how the Commission should treat complaints against non-common carriers for violations of the Act or Commission rules, the Commission investigates such complaints in a manner similar to how it treats those against common carriers. Currently, the Commission has specific complaint forms for the unauthorized conversion of a person's telephone service (“slamming”) (FCC Form 501), the broadcast of indecent, obscene, or profane material (FCC Form 475B), and the unlawful telemarketing, “junk faxing,” or e-mail messaging to a wireless device (FCC Form 1088). The current FCC Form 475 is used for all other types of complaints, although, as currently drafted, it is predominately oriented toward common carrier complaints. The proposed FCC Form 2000 replaces current FCC Form 475, providing greater clarity and ease of use by separating the various complaint subject areas into separate subparts tailored to each subject. The Internet-based version of FCC Form 2000 first asks for the complainant's contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address; then presents a “gateway” question to determine the general topic of the complaint:

(1)Deceptive or unlawful advertising or marketing;

(2)billing, privacy, or service quality;

(3)disability access;

(4)emergency or public safety;

(5)general media issues; or

(6)other complaints. As described below, the form provides examples of the types of issues covered by each topic. After the complainant answers this question, the form asks additional questions geared to the specific type of violation reported. The form poses certain mandatory threshold questions that must be answered for the Commission to determine whether a violation has occurred. It also provides space for complainants to provide additional information and details that may be necessary or helpful to the Commission in investigating the complaint. In printed format, FCC Form 2000 will have six subparts, one for each area described above. Each subpart of the printable version of FCC Form 2000 consolidates the complainant's personal information with detailed questions about the specific violations alleged by the complainant. The following descriptions of FCC Form 2000A, 2000B, 2000C, 2000D, 2000E and 2000F, therefore, refer to the printable subparts of FCC Form 2000. *FCC Form 2000A, Deceptive or Unlawful Advertising or Marketing Complaint.* This form would be used if the complainant alleges deceptive or otherwise unlawful advertising or marketing by communications companies, including common carriers, broadcasters, and cable and satellite service providers. The consumer protection issues covered by this form include deceptive advertising by telephone companies, wireless service providers, or Internet access service providers, as well as subliminal advertising on radio or television, illegal advertisements on non-commercial educational television or radio stations, and excessive or otherwise unlawful commercials during children's television programming. *FCC Form 2000B, Billing, Privacy, or Service Quality Complaint.* This form would be used if the complainant alleges billing, privacy, or service quality issues with a telephone company or wireless provider. The consumer protection issues covered by this form include complaints about the quality or availability of service by a telephone company, wireless provider, or Internet access service provider, including complaints that a telephone company or wireless provider is not allowing the complainant to keep his or her telephone number after changing service providers. Complainants also would use this form for complaints about the unauthorized disclosure of calling records by telephone companies or wireless providers. *FCC Form 2000C, Disability Access Complaint.* This form would be used for complaints about disability access, *e.g.* , issues with Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS), closed captioning, or the accessibility of emergency information. This form would also be used for complaints about the accessibility of telecommunications equipment and services such as the compatibility of hearing aids with both wireless and wireline telephone equipment. *FCC Form 2000D, Emergency or Public Safety Complaint.* This form would be used for complaints regarding problems with communications companies about emergency or public safety issues. This form would be used for complaints about the quality or availability of Enhanced 911 service, interference with emergency/public safety communications or devices, radio tower problems (lighting, fencing, painting), Emergency Alert System

(EAS)problems, and cable signal leakage. *FCC Form 2000E, Media (General) Complaint.* This form would be used for complaints alleging misconduct by radio or television stations, cable systems, or satellite operators. This form would cover a broad spectrum of complaints, including those alleging unfair contests, hoaxes, payola or sponsorship identification problems, news distortion, unauthorized or pirate broadcasters, and the broadcast of telephone conversations without prior notice. *FCC Form 2000F, Other Communications Complaint Not Covered by Form 2000A through Form 2000E.* This form would be used for complaints that do not come within the scope of any of the other subparts of FCC Form 2000. Some of the areas covered by this form would be interference to non-emergency services or communications, such as garage door openers or home appliances, as well as amateur or Citizens Band

(CB)radio issues. FCC Form 2000 will allow the Commission to collect detailed information from complainants concerning possible violations of the Act and the Commission's rules, which will enable the Commission to investigate such allegations more efficiently and to initiate enforcement actions against violators as appropriate. By collecting complaint information in a single, comprehensive template, the form will provide a standardized way for complainants to provide their information, thus reducing the need for further documentation or questions from FCC investigators to determine whether violations have occurred. This approach will ensure that complainants present their information in a way that maximizes the FCC's ability to take enforcement action against violators and protects complainants from violations that are unjust, unreasonable, and potentially hazardous to life and property. Additionally, FCC Form 2000's format reduces the need for complainants to compose narratives with all the information necessary for the Commission to begin an investigation, principally by including fields for and examples of the information most commonly needed for investigations of the most common types of violations. The form will allow the Commission to gather and review this information more efficiently. The information collected by FCC Form 2000 may ultimately become the foundation for enforcement actions and/or rulemaking proceedings, as appropriate. *FCC Form 475-B, Obscene, Profane, and Indecent Complaint Form.* This form is used by consumers to lay out precisely their complaint(s) and issue(s) concerning the practices of the communications entities, which consumers believe may have aired obscene, profane, and/or indecent programming.
