Notification of an Upcoming Science
Advisory Board Meeting
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a
public teleconference meeting of the
SAB Quality Review Committee (QRC)
to discuss the review of the draft SAB
report, Review of EPA Region 5 Critical
Ecosystem Assessment Model.
DATES: April 4, 2005. A public
telephone conference meeting to discuss
the draft SAB report will be held on
April 4, 2005 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
(Eastern Time).
ADDRESSES: The meeting for this review
will be held by telephone only.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Members of the public who wish to
obtain further information regarding this
teleconference meeting may contact Mr.
Thomas O. Miller, Designated Federal
Officer (DFO), U.S. EPA Science
Advisory Board via phone (202–343–
9982) or e-mail at miller.tom@epa.gov.
The SAB mailing address is: U.S.
EPA, Science Advisory Board (1400F),
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20460. General
information about the SAB, as well as
any updates concerning the meeting
announced in this notice, may be found
on the SAB Web site at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: EPA Region V requested
that the SAB conduct a review of the
Critical Ecosystem Assessment Model
(CrEAM). The CrEAM is a spatially
explicit model developed by EPA
Region V for predicting the ecological
significance of undeveloped land using
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:51 Mar 16, 2005
Jkt 205001
ecological theory, existing data sets, and
geographic information system (GIS)
technology. The model identifies
ecologically significant areas by
integrating three important conditions:
(1) Ecosystem diversity, (2) ecological
self sustainability, and (3) species and
land cover rarity. The CrEAM was
developed to assess the ecological
significance of land areas across the
states of EPA Region V (Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and
Wisconsin). EPA Region V asked the
SAB to comment on the scientific
validity of the conceptual framework
and methodology used in the CrEAM to
identify ecologically significant
ecosystems, and on the scientific
defensibility of the results generated
from the CrEAM. To conduct this
review, the SAB Staff Office formed the
Critical Ecosystem Assessment Review
Panel. The Panel was formed by
augmenting the SAB’s Ecological
Processes and Effects Committee with
experts in ecology and the use of
geographic information system
technology to conduct landscape scale
analyses. The Panel has completed a
draft report that is now being submitted
to a Quality Review Committee (QRC) of
the chartered Science Advisory Board
for review. The review was conducted
as part of the SAB’s mission, established
by 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide
independent scientific and technical
advice, consultation, and
recommendations to the EPA
Administrator on the technical bases for
EPA policies and regulations.
Background information on SAB’s
review of the CrEAM was provided in
Federal Register Notices published on
June 7, 2004 (69 FR 31819–31820) and
April 21, 2004 (69 FR 21524–21525).
The purpose of an SAB QRC meeting
is to conduct a public review and
discussion of the SAB draft report. The
focus of the discussion will be on
whether: (i) The original charge
questions to the SAB review panel have
been adequately addressed, (ii) the
report is clear and logical, and (iii) any
conclusions drawn, or
recommendations provided, are
supported by the body of information in
the review report. The outcome of the
QRC review will be one, or a
combination of one or more, of the
following: (i) recommend SAB approval
of the report without substantive
change, (ii) return the report to the
review panel for further work, or (iii)
reject the work of the review panel and
request a reconsideration and a revised
report in the future.

Needs and Uses: With this submission
to OMB, the Commission revised this
information collection by taking the
following steps to reduce burdens: (1)
We declined to adopt certain
modifications to FCC Form 477
proposed in the Data Collection NPRM,
including the proposed requirement that
filers categorize broadband connections
according to the information transfer
rate (‘‘speed’’) actually observed by the
end user; (2) we eliminated various
questions from the wireline local
telephone section of the form; (3) we
eliminated the requirements that filers
seeking confidential treatment of FCC
Form 477 data prepare and submit a
separate, redacted Form 477; (4)
responded to comments submitted by
the Office of Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration (SBA), we will
publish a Small Entity Compliance
Guide to provide a set of user-friendly
explanations to direct small entities to
those sections of the Form 477 relevant
to their operations.
The information will be used by the
Commission to prepare reports that help
inform consumers and policy makers at
the federal and state level of the
deployment of competition in the local
telephone service market and the
deployment of broadband services. We
will continue to use the information to
better inform our understanding of
broadband deployment in conjunction
with our congressionally-mandated
section 706 reports.

factors pertaining to a limited
exemption from the attribution rules
that are part of the Commission’s Part 1
competitive bidding rules. Specifically,
based on petitions for reconsideration of
the Reconsideration of the Part 1 Fifth
Report and Order, the Commission
revised the third element of the
exemption, by permitting a rural
telephone cooperative applicant (or its
controlling interest) to demonstrate that
the rural telephone cooperatives in
question is eligible for tax-exempt status
pursuant to Section 501(c)(12) of the

Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.

adopted an Order on Reconsideration,
CC Docket No. 96–128, which increased
the time carriers must retain certain data
and adds burden in that regard, it also
removes potentially burdensome
paperwork requirements by encouraging
carriers to comply with the reporting
requirements through electronic means.
We believe that the clarifications
contained in this submission will also
significantly decrease the paperwork
burden on carriers. Specifically, the
Commission did the following: (1)
Clarified alternative arrangements for
small businesses. A Completing Carrier
must give the Public Service Provider
(PSP) adequate notice of an alternative
compensation arrangement (ACA) prior
to its effective date with sufficient time
for the PSP to object to an ACA, and
also prior to the termination of an ACA;
(2) clarified any paperwork burdens
imposed on carriers. A Completing
Carrier must give PSPs adequate notice
of ACAs by placing a notice on a
clearinghouse Web site; (3) requiring
Completing Carrier and Intermediate
Carriers to report only completed calls
