Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The Bioterrorism Act requires each community water system serving a population of more than 3,300 people to conduct a vulnerability assessment of its water system and to prepare or revise an emergency response plan that incorporates the results of the vulnerability assessment. These requirements are mandatory under the statute. EPA will use the information collected under this ICR to determine whether community water systems have conducted vulnerability assessments and prepared or revised emergency response plans in compliance with that Act. EPA is required to protect all vulnerability assessments and all information derived from them from disclosure to unauthorized parties and has established an Information Protection Protocol describing how that will be accomplished. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 237 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Community Water Systems serving a population of more than 3,300 people. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 80. *Frequency of Response:* Once. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 8,994. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $710,460, including $294 in annual O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 2,904,935 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease reflects EPA's need to collect documents that were included in the original estimate, but still remain to be submitted to the Agency. Dated: September 21, 2007 Joseph A. Sierra, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

(1)Concentrated Aquatic Animal Production Effluent Guidelines (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 2087.03, OMB Control Number 2040-0258, expiration date 09/30/2007.

(2)National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/Compliance Assessment/Certification Information (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1427.08, OMB Control Number 2040-0110, expiration date 09/30/2007.

(3)National Pretreatment Program (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 0002.14, OMB Control Number 2040-0009, expiration date 09/30/2007. B. Individual ICRs

(1)Concentrated Aquatic Animal Production Effluent Guidelines (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 2087.03, OMB Control Number 2040-0258, expiration date 09/30/2007. *Abstract:* This ICR requests OMB renewal of the approval for the Concentrated Aquatic Animal Production

(CAAP)Effluent Guidelines. The rule establishes specific reporting requirements for a segment of CAAP facilities through NPDES permits. The rule covers facilities which are defined as CAAP facilities (see 40 CFR 122.24 and 40 CFR part 122 Appendix C) and produce at least 100,000 pounds per year in flow through, recirculating, and net pen systems. The rule includes special mandatory reporting and recordkeeping requirements which are the subject of this ICR. CAAP facility owners or operators are also required to file reports with the permitting authority when drugs with special approvals are applied to the production units or a failure in the structural integrity occurs in the aquatic animal containment system. When CAAP facilities apply either an Investigational New Animal Drug

(INAD)or a drug that has been prescribed extra-label by a veterinarian to treat the aquatic animals at their facility, the owner or operator must report this use to the permitting authority. In addition, the owner or operator of a CAAP facility must notify the permitting authority upon agreeing to participate in an INAD study. Whenever a structural failure occurs in the aquatic animal containment system, the owner or operator must report this to the permitting authority. For the purposes of this requirement, the aquatic animal containment system is defined as the unit(s) that contain(s) the aquatic animals and in which their culture takes place, as well as the wastewater handling and treatment units associated with aquatic animal production. CAAP facilities subject to this regulation are also required to develop and implement a Best Management Practices

(BMP)plan that ensures that the regulatory requirements will be met. Upon completion of this BMP plan, the owner or operator must certify to the permitting authority that the plan has been developed. CAAP facilities are also expected to keep records of the feed inputs along with an estimate of the number and weight of the animals being raised. These records are to be used to calculate the feed conversion ratios for the facility. Records must also be kept documenting the frequency of facility inspections, maintenance and repairs, and cleaning of the rearing units at flow through and recirculating facilities or changing the nets at net pen facilities. This information collection may contain CBI, especially the reporting requirements associated with investigational drug use. If this is the case, the respondent may request that such information be treated as confidential. All confidential data will be handled in accordance with 40 CFR 122.7, 40 CFR part 2 and EPA's Security Manual. However, CWA section 308(b) specifically States that effluent data may not be treated as confidential. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 180.4 hours per respondent per year, or 60.2 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are a subset of facilities engaged in aquatic animal production defined to 40 CFR part 451. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 245 (200 facilities and 45 States). *Frequency of Response:* Once every five years, on occasion, on-going. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 44,196 hours. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $971,500, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates* : There is a decrease of 804 hours (1.8%) in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease reflects EPA's corrections to the 2004 ICR and is not the result of changes to the requirements covered by this ICR.

(2)National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/Compliance Assessment/Certification Information (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1427.08, OMB Control Number 2040-0110, expiration date 09/30/2007. *Abstract* : The purpose of this ICR is to calculate the burden and costs associated with the data requirements necessary for a permitting authority (either an authorized State or EPA) to determine whether an existing NPDES or sewage sludge permittee is in compliance with the conditions of its permit. A permitting authority collects information necessary to determine a permittee's compliance with specific permit requirements during the effective term of a given permit. Compliance assessment reporting requirements include routine submittals (e.g., annual certifications and reports submitted when a compliance schedule milestone is reached) and non-routine submittals (e.g., required when certain conditions occur, such as an unanticipated bypass). NPDES staff may use this information to determine if follow-up activities are necessary. This ICR includes burden hours and costs associated with noncompliance reports for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) not accounted for in the NPDES Regulation and Effluent Limitation Guidelines and Standards for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations ICR (EPA ICR No. 1989.04; OMB No. 2040-0250). Five additional effluent limitations guidelines development ICRs were set to expire in the next three years prior to the next renewal of this Compliance Assessment/Certification ICR. The burden for direct dischargers associated with those five ICRs has been incorporated into the Compliance Assessment/Certification ICR. The five ICRs include: 1. Milestone Plans for the Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Point Source Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 1877.03, OMB Control No. 2040-0202; 2. Best Management Practices

(BMPs)for Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory and the Papergrade Kraft Sulfite Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Point Source Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 1829.03, OMB Control No. 2040-0207; 3. Baseline Standards and Best Management Practices for the Coal Mining Point Source Category (40 CFR part 434)—Coal Remining Subcategory and Western Alkaline Coal Mining Subcategory, EPA ICR No. 1944.03, OMB Control No. 2040-0239; 4. Voluntary Certification in Lieu of Chloroform Minimum Monitoring Requirements for Direct and Indirect Discharging Mills in the Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 2015.02, OMB Control No. 2040-0242; and 5. Minimum Monitoring Requirements for Direct and Indirect Discharging Mills in the Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory and the Papergrade Sulfite Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 1878.02, OMB Control No. 2040-0243. Where information submitted in conjunction with this ICR contains trade secrets or similar CBI, the respondent has the authority to request that this information be treated as CBI. All confidential data will be handled in accordance with 40 CFR 122.7, 40 CFR part 2. Any claim of confidentiality must be asserted at the time of submission. However, CWA section 308(b) specifically States that effluent data may not be treated as confidential. *Burden Statement* : The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4.1 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities* : Entities potentially affected by this action are most facilities required to have NPDES permit coverage, including but not limited to POTWs, PrOTWs, manufacturing and commercial dischargers, mining operations, and CAFOs. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 450,471 (450,425 facilities and 46 States). *Frequency of Response* : Every five years, annual, semiannual, quarterly, monthly, on occasion. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 2,066,677 hours. *Estimated Total Annual Cost* : $92,353,878, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates* : There is an increase of 195,157 hours (10.4%) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is mostly the result of the increase in the number of expected stormwater construction and other non-stormwater general permittees and the inclusion of noncompliance for CAFO permittees in this ICR. It is not the result of changes to the requirements covered by this ICR.

(3)National Pretreatment Program (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 0002.14, OMB Control Number 2040-0009, expiration date 09/30/2007. *Abstract:* This ICR calculates the burden and costs associated with managing and implementing the National Pretreatment Program as mandated under CWA sections 402(a) and

(b)and 307(b). This ICR includes all existing tasks under the National Pretreatment Program, as amended by the EPA's recent Streamlining Rule. It integrates key elements from two existing ICRs whose approvals are due to expire shortly:

(1)Information Collection Request for the National Pretreatment Program, OMB Control No. 2040-0009, EPA ICR No.: 0002.11, June 7, 2005, and

(2)Revision of the Information Collection Request for the National Pretreatment Program (Pretreatment Streamlining ICR) (40 CFR part 403), OMB Control No. 2040-0009, EPA ICR No. 0002.12, September 22, 2005. EPA's Office of Wastewater Management

(OWM)in the Office of Water

(OW)is responsible for the management of the pretreatment program. The CWA requires EPA to develop national pretreatment standards to control discharges from Industrial Users

(IUs)into Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). These standards limit the level of certain pollutants allowed in non-domestic wastewater that is discharged to a POTW. EPA administers the pretreatment program through the NPDES permit program. Under the NPDES permit program, EPA may approve State or individual POTW implementation of the pretreatment standards at their respective levels. Data collected from IUs during implementation of the pretreatment program include the mass, frequency, and content of IU discharges and IU schedules for installing pretreatment equipment. Data also include actual or anticipated IU discharges of wastes that violate pretreatment standards, have the potential to cause problems at the POTW, or are considered hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). OWM uses the data collected under the pretreatment program to monitor and enforce compliance with the pretreatment regulations, as well as to authorize program administration at the State or Local

(POTW)level. States and POTWs applying for approval of their pretreatment programs submit data concerning their legal, procedural, and administrative bases for establishing such programs. This information may include surveys of IUs, local limits for pollutant concentrations, and schedules for completion of major project requirements. IUs and POTWs submit written reports to the approved State or EPA. These data may then be entered into the NPDES databases by the approved State or by EPA. Four additional effluent limitations guidelines development ICRs were set to expire within the next 3 years, before the next renewal of this Pretreatment Program ICR. It was EPA's intention to transfer some of the burden and cost from those ICRs into the Pretreatment Program ICR during the previous ICR renewal cycle, but final action was not taken until March 23, 2007. Therefore, the burden and cost associated with indirect dischargers from those four ICRs is incorporated into this Pretreatment Program ICR as part of the renewal process. The four ICRs are the following: 1. Pollution Prevention Compliance Alternative; Transportation Equipment Cleaning Point Source Category (40 CFR part 442), EPA ICR No. 2018.02, OMB Control No. 2040-0235. 2. Voluntary Certification in Lieu of Chloroform Minimum Monitoring Requirements for Direct and Indirect Discharging Mills in the Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 2015.02, OMB Control No. 2040-0242. 3. Best Management Practices

(BMPs)for Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory and the Papergrade Kraft Sulfite Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Point Source Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 1829.03, OMB Control No. 2040-0207. 4. Minimum Monitoring Requirements for Direct and Indirect Discharging Mills in the Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory and the Papergrade Sulfite Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Manufacturing Category (40 CFR part 430), EPA ICR No. 1878.02, OMB Control No. 2040-0243. The following reporting requirements may contain CBI, proprietary information, or information containing compromising trade secrets: • Pretreatment Baseline Monitoring Report

(BMR)• IU Compliance Schedule Report • POTW and IU Maintenance of Monitoring Records • Pretreatment Categorical Determination Request • Pretreatment Fundamentally Different Factors

(FDF)Variance Request In such cases, the respondent has the right to request that the information be treated as CBI. EPA and its agents will handle all data so designated in accordance with the requirements at 40 CFR 403.14(a). The pretreatment regulations, however, stipulate at 40 CFR 403.14(b) that industrial effluent data shall be made available to the public without restriction. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Various industrial categories, POTWs, Local and State governments. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 24,740 (35 States, 1,512 POTWs and 23,193 industrial users) *Frequency of Response:* On occasion, semi-annually, annually, and as needed. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 1,797,087 hours. *Estimated Total Annual Cost:* $82,467,367, includes $2,003,205 annualized capital or O&M costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is a decrease of 181,045 (9.2%) hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. There are burden increases reflected in this ICR due to increases in the estimates of State respondents, number of approved programs, and incorporation of burden from other ICRs. However, the main change in burden is reflected in a decrease in the number of Significant Industrial Users (SIUs). EPA revised the estimated number of SIUs and pretreatment programs after extensive consultation with the EPA regions and a thorough examination of Permit Compliance System

(PCS)data. This resulted in an overall decrease in the burden of this ICR. Dated: September 21, 2007. Joseph A. Sierra, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc. E7-19126 Filed 9-26-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-8474-1] Acid Rain Program: Notice of Annual Adjustment Factors for Excess Emission Penalty AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of annual adjustment factors for excess emissions penalty. SUMMARY: Under the Acid Rain Program, affected units must hold enough allowances to cover their sulfur dioxide emissions and meet an emission limit for nitrogen oxides. Under 40 CFR 77.6, units that do not meet these requirements must pay a penalty without demand to the Administrator based on the number of excess tons emitted times $2000 as adjusted by an annual adjustment factor that must be published in the **Federal Register** . The annual adjustment factor for adjusting the penalty for excess emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides under 40 CFR part 77 for compliance year 2007 is 1.6364. This value is derived using the Consumer Price Index (``CPI'') for 1990 and 2007 (as defined at 40 CFR part 72, the 2007 CPI is based on the August 2006 CPI for all urban consumers), and corresponds to a penalty of $3273 per excess ton of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides emitted. The annual adjustment factor for adjusting the penalty for excess emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides under 40 CFR part 77 for compliance year 2008 is 1.6687. This value is derived using the Consumer Price Index (``CPI'') for 1990 and 2008 (as defined at 40 CFR part 72, the 2008 CPI is based on the August 2007 CPI for all urban consumers), and corresponds to a penalty of $3337 per excess ton of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides emitted.

Thus, if you plan to submit written comments, the Agency strongly encourages you to submit such comments no later than noon, Eastern Time, October 17, 2007. You should submit your comments using the instructions in Unit I.C. of this notice. In addition, the Agency also requests that person(s) submitting comments directly to the docket also provide a copy of their comments to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . There is no limit on the length of written comments for consideration by the HSRB. E. Background A. Topics for Discussion The HSRB is a Federal advisory committee operating in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act

(FACA)5 U.S.C. App.29. The HSRB provides advice, information, and recommendations to EPA on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research. The major objectives of the HSRB are to provide advice and recommendations on:

(1)Research proposals and protocols;

(2)reports of completed research with human subjects; and

(3)how to strengthen EPA's programs for protection of human subjects of research. The HSRB reports to the EPA Administrator through EPA's Science Advisor. The October 24-26, 2007 meeting of the Human Studies Review Board will address scientific and ethical issues surrounding: • Review of EPA draft document *Scientific and Ethical Approaches for Observational Exposure Studies.* The document, prepared by researchers in EPA's National Exposure Research Laboratory, identifies the types of issues that should be considered in planning and implementing observational human exposure studies and provides information and resources to assist EPA researchers in these studies. • A published report of a completed clinical trial measuring the effects of single and repeated treatments with sodium azide on blood pressure in human subjects. Sodium azide is a pesticidally active ingredient being proposed as a replacement for the fumigant methyl bromide. • A research proposal from Carroll-Loye Biological Research to evaluate the field efficacy in repelling mosquitoes of three registered products containing picaridin. • A research proposal from Carroll-Loye Biological Research to evaluate the laboratory efficacy in repelling ticks of three registered products containing picaridin. • A research proposal from Insect Control & Research, Inc. to evaluate the laboratory efficacy in repelling mosquitoes of the genus *Culex* of two registered products containing picaridin. • A report of a completed field study by Carroll-Loye Biological Research of the mosquito repellent efficacy of a registered product containing Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. • Three closely related product-specific reports from a single completed field study by Carroll-Loye Biological Research of the mosquito repellent efficacy of four pesticides, all containing Deet. • At the Board's request, discussion on the frequency and duration of exposure of subjects to potential mosquito landings. In addition, EPA will report to the Board on its consideration of issues relating to the design of sampling strategies for handler research programs proposed by the Agricultural Handlers Exposure Task Force and the Antimicrobials Exposure Assessment Task Force II. Finally, the Board may also discuss planning for future HSRB meetings. B. Meeting Minutes and Reports Minutes of the meeting, summarizing the matters discussed and recommendations, if any, made by the advisory committee regarding such matters will be released within 90 calendar days of the meeting. Such minutes will be available at *http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/* and *http://www.regulations.gov.* In addition, information concerning a Board meeting report, if applicable, can be found at *http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/* or from the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION .

E7-19125 Filed 9-26-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-8474-3] Notice of Availability of the External Review Draft of a “Framework for Determining a Mutagenic Mode of Action for Carcinogenicity: Using EPA's 2005 Cancer Guidelines and Supplemental Guidance for Assessing Susceptibility From Early-Life Exposure to Carcinogens” AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of Document Availability for Public Comment. SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)is announcing a 60-day public comment period for the External Review Draft of the “Framework for Determining a Mutagenic Mode of Action for Carcinogenicity: Using EPA's 2005 *Cancer Guidelines and Supplemental Guidance for Assessing Susceptibility from Early-Life Exposure to Carcinogens” (or Framework).* EPA is releasing this draft document solely for the purpose of seeking public comment prior to external peer review. Following the period for public comment, the document will be reviewed by an external panel of experts. The date and other details about the external review will be published in a separate **Federal Register** notice. EPA will consider both the public and the external peer review comments when revising the draft *Framework.* Members of the public may obtain the draft guidance from *http://www.regulations.gov;* or *http://www.epa.gov/osa/mmoaframework;* or from Dr. Resha Putzrath via the contact information below. The purpose of the *Framework* is to expand and clarify discussions found in the *Cancer Guidelines and Supplemental Guidance* on characteristics to be evaluated for a chemical's potential for a mutagenic mode of action (MOA). These documents can be obtained from *http://www.epa.gov/cancerguidelines.* This *Framework* document is not a prescriptive guide on how any particular type of assessment should be conducted within an EPA program or regional office. Rather, it is a science-based document that is intended to help EPA's risk assessors determine whether data support a finding of a mutagenic MOA for carcinogenicity. It discusses mutagenicity only within the context of a mutagenic MOA for carcinogenicity and not for other adverse endpoints that involve mutations. EPA's Risk Assessment Forum oversaw the development of this draft document. EPA's *Cancer Guidelines* emphasize using MOA information in interpreting and quantifying the potential cancer risk to humans. The *Supplemental Guidance* discusses the use of age-dependent adjustment factors (ADAFs) with the derived cancer slope factors (and appropriate age-specific estimates of exposure) in the development of risk estimates if the weight of evidence supports a mutagenic MOA. This default approach is used only when appropriate chemical-specific data are not available on susceptibility from early-life exposures. ADDRESSES: The draft document is available electronically through the EPA Office of the Science Advisor's Web site at: *http://www.epa.gov/osa/mmoaframework.* FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For more information, contact Dr. Resha Putzrath, Office of the Science Advisor, Mail Code 8105-R, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone number:

(202)564-2070, e-mail: *putzrath.resha@epa.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In response to requests from numerous stakeholders following EPA's release of the *Supplemental Guidance* in 2005, the Risk Assessment Forum has prepared a framework document that expands and clarifies characteristics used to determine a chemical's potential for a mutagenic MOA for carcinogenicity. This determination affects consideration of adjusting cancer potencies via the ADAFs when exposures of these carcinogens occur to children. The *Framework* is meant to complement EPA's 2005 * Cancer Guidelines and Supplemental Guidance. * In order to use the *Framework* properly, the chemical of interest must already have a weight-of-evidence determination for carcinogenicity. The *Framework* does not provide an approach to hazard identification. Rather, it gives information useful to determining whether MOAs by which the chemical causes cancer include mutagenicity as an early key event; “key event” is a term of art described in the mode-of-action framework in the *Cancer Guidelines.* Dated: September 21, 2007.

Summary of the Order In the Order, the Federal Communications Commission commences a hearing proceeding before an administrative law judge to determine, among other things, whether

(i)The authority granted to Kurtis J. Kintzel, Keanan Kintzel, and any and all entities in which they are principals and/or do business, to operate as common carriers should be revoked and,

(ii)Kurtis J. Kintzel, Keanan Kintzel, and any and all entities in which they are or may be principals and/or by which they do, or may do business, should be required to refrain from providing any interstate common carrier services in the future without first obtaining prior Commission consent. Entities providing interstate common carrier services owned and controlled by Kurtis J. and Keanan Kintzel apparently willfully and repeatedly violated multiple terms of a Consent Decree to which they were signatories and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated multiple Commission rules and provisions of the Act relating to the provision of interstate common carrier services. Such apparent violations, and a lengthy history of noncompliance before the Commission, raise material and substantial questions regarding the basic qualifications of the Kintzel brothers to engage in the provision of interstate common carrier services now and in the future. Information has come to the Commission's attention that Business Options, Inc. (“BOI”) violated certain provisions of the Consent Decree in EB Docket No. 03-85 (“Consent Decree”). BOI entered into that Consent Decree prior to final disposition of an evidentiary hearing wherein it was to be determined, among other things, whether BOI had intentionally provided incorrect or misleading information to the Commission; whether BOI had engaged in unlawful “slamming” activities by changing consumers' long distance providers without authorization in violation of section 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 258, and 64.1120(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 64.1120(a)(1); whether BOI failed to file registration statements required under 64.1195 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 64.1195; whether BOI discontinued service to the public in violation of section 214 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 214, and 63.71 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 63.71; whether BOI had properly filed Telecommunications Reporting Worksheets; and whether BOI made all required contributions to the Universal Service Fund (“USF”) and Telecommunications Relay Services Fund (“TRS”), respectively. The terms of the Consent Decree specifically applied to all entities owned, directed, or controlled by the Kintzel brothers, and was intended to ensure their future compliance with sections 214, 254, and 258 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 214, 254, 258, and related Commission rules. The Consent Decree contemplated a voluntary contribution to the United States Treasury in the total amount of $510,000 to be paid in 48 scheduled monthly installments; payment of all outstanding universal service and TRS debts; and timely payment of all future universal service and TRS assessments. In addition, the Kintzel brothers agreed to henceforth obtain all appropriate and necessary authorizations prior to discontinuing service in any state and to implement procedures regarding marketing of services to new customers and verification procedures related to these marketing efforts. The Consent Decree also required the filing of regular reports with the Commission relating to compliance with various Commission rules and Consent Decree requirements. In the fall of 2006, the Enforcement Bureau received information indicating that the Kintzel brothers had discontinued making the required regularly scheduled monthly installment payments toward satisfaction of their voluntary contribution under the 2004 Consent Decree. The information also suggested that an entity controlled by the Kintzel brothers, and subject to the terms of the Consent Decree, Buzz Telecom Corporation (“Buzz”), had unlawfully discontinued service to the public, and failed to pay required universal service and TRS assessments. During the last quarter of 2006, the Commission also received a number of consumer complaints alleging that Buzz, like BOI, had engaged in prohibited slamming and/or cramming activities. The Enforcement Bureau, on December 20, 2006, initiated an investigation of, and directed a Letter of Inquiry (“LOI”) to, Buzz and BOI requiring the production of various documents and responses to interrogatories concerning these allegations. In the response to the LOI provided by Kurtis Kintzel on behalf of Buzz and BOI (the “LOI Response”), Kintzel admitted that the voluntary contribution of $510,000 had not been completely satisfied, and that $192,600 was past due and that they had discontinued service to all customers in each state where they had been providing services despite having failed to request and obtain Commission authorization to do so. In the LOI Response, Kintzel misrepresented to the Enforcement Bureau that the entities that he and his brother controlled were up to date and in compliance with their universal service and TRS contribution obligations. The LOI Response also failed to provide any information about the multiple slamming and cramming complaints the Commission had received from consumers. Despite a follow-up communication to Kintzel requesting the same information, Kintzel again failed to provide the requested information. In addition, despite the Enforcement Bureau's request, Kintzel failed to produce information about slamming and cramming complaints that Buzz had received directly from consumers. The Commission continues to receive complaints alleging that Buzz executed a change to a subscriber's telephone exchange or telephone toll service without authorization in apparent violation of section 248 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 248, and 64.1120 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 64.1120. Thus, pursuant to sections 4(i) and 214 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 214, the Order directs directing Buzz, BOI, U.S. Bell Corporation (“US Bell”), Link Technologies (“Link”), AVATAR, and/or their principals Kurtis J.

As of January 1, 2008, 75% of all nonexempt pre-rule English language programming must be captioned per channel, per calendar quarter. Pre-rule video programming is programming that was first published or exhibited *before* January 1, 1998 (for analog programming) or before July 1, 2002 (for digital programming). Nonexempt programming is video programming that is not exempt pursuant to a self-implementing exemption found in 47 CFR 79.1(d) of the Commission's rules, or pursuant to an exemption based on the undue burden standard found in 47 CFR 79.1(f ) of the Commission's rules, and, accordingly, is subject to closed captioning requirements. These closed captioning requirements are separate from video programming distributors' obligations to make emergency information accessible to persons with hearing and vision disabilities.

Proposed Project OWCD Professional Training Program Online Application System—New—The Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The mission of the Career Development Division (CDD), Office of Workforce and Career Development (OWCD), is to prepare an applied public health workforce through training and service. Professionals in public health, epidemiology, medicine, economics, information science, veterinary medicine, nursing, public policy and other related professions seek opportunities to broaden their knowledge and skills to improve the science and practice of public health. Each year CDC's professional training programs accept applications from potential candidates for review and selection. The purpose of this project is to efficiently and effectively recruit and select qualified individuals to participate in the CDD professional training programs by collecting information through an online application management system. This online application provides the CDD with the information necessary to recruit qualified professionals to participate in public health professions training programs to build critical public health workforce capacity in epidemiology, preventive medicine, prevention effectiveness/health economics, public health informatics, and public health management and leadership. Further benefit from this online application is the reduction of duplicate candidate records as well as agency resources to administer and process paper records. The application process includes the following: Submission of the responses to the questions in the online application; submission of academic transcripts, professional credentials, and letters of recommendation; a review by selected programmatic staff and expert panel members; selection of qualified candidates for interview; interview of candidates; and selection of trainees for programs. The online application questions ask for demographic data, academic history, professional experience, references and description of professional goals. The application questions and data collected are necessary to the application process to determine programmatic eligibility and to ensure that the most highly qualified candidates are chosen for the training programs. With the exception of their time, the cost to the candidates is minor. One expense depends on their academic institutions since they must obtain and submit all of their academic transcripts. Another expense depends on the cost to obtain and submit other professional credentials including professional licenses and certifications. The final expense is the cost to submit letters of recommendation.

(FDA)is announcing the availability of a document entitled “Guidance for Industry: Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials,” dated September 2007. The guidance document provides sponsors of vaccine trials with recommendations on assessing the severity of clinical and laboratory abnormalities in healthy adult and adolescent volunteers enrolled in clinical trials. In particular, the guidance includes toxicity grading scale tables to use as a guideline for selecting the assessment criteria. The guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance of the same title dated April 2005. DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on agency guidances at any time.

Background FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled “Guidance for Industry: Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials,” dated September 2007. The guidance provides sponsors of vaccine trials with toxicity grading scale tables as a guideline when selecting the criteria to assess the severity of clinical and laboratory abnormalities in healthy adult and adolescent volunteers enrolled in clinical trials of a preventive vaccine. FDA recommends the incorporation of such appropriate, uniform criteria into the investigational plan, case report forms, and study reports and correspondence with FDA, sponsors, monitors, investigators, and institutional review boards. The parameters in the tables are not necessarily applicable to every clinical trial of healthy volunteers. The parameters monitored should be appropriate for the specific study vaccine. In addition, the use of toxicity grading scales to categorize adverse events observed during clinical trials does not replace regulatory requirements to monitor, investigate, and report adverse events. In the **Federal Register** of May 2, 2005 (70 FR 22664), FDA announced the availability of the draft guidance of the same title dated April 2005. FDA received several comments on the draft guidance and those comments were considered as the guidance was finalized. A summary of changes includes:

(1)Clarification of the clinical toxicity parameters and

(2)revision of laboratory parameter limit values based on additional published data. The guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance dated April 2005. The guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents FDA's current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II. Comments Interested persons may, at any time, submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES ) written or electronic comments regarding the guidance. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in the brackets in the heading of this document. A copy of the guidance and received comments are available for public examination in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. III.
