SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:13 Nov 28, 2005 Jkt 208001 Title: Application for Renewal of Radio Station License for Experimental Radio Service, FCC Form 405. Form Number: FCC Form 405. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not for profit institutions. Number of Respondents: 243. Estimated Time per Response: 2.25 hour. Frequency of Response: On occasion and two year reporting requirements; Third party disclosure. Total Annual Burden: 547 hours. Total Annual Costs: $61,965.00. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: On June 10, 2004, the Commission adopted a Report and Order that transformed the rules governing the former Multipoint Distribution Service (MDS) and Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) in the 2495–2690 MHz band. Applicants in the Multipoint Distribution service now use the FCC Form 601. FCC Form 405 is now being used only by the Experimental Radio Service to apply for renewal of radio stations licenses at the FCC. Section 307(c) of the Communications Act limits the term of radio licenses to ten years and requires that written applications be submitted for renewal. FCC Form 405 is required by 47 CFR part 5 of the Commission’s rules. The FCC Form 405 was previously shared by the Office of Engineering and Technology, the International Bureau and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau. The Office of Engineering and Technology has made the following changes to FCC Form 405: (1) On Page 1 the title was changed from ‘‘Multipoint Distribution Service’’ to ‘‘Experimental Radio Service.’’ The edition date was changed to July 2005. (2) On Page 2 all references to the Multipoint Distribution Service and WTB were removed and replaced with statements only pertaining to the Experimental Radio Service and OET. A reference to FCC Form 159 was added. The addresses and mailing instructions were amended to those used by the Experimental Licensing Branch. The edition date was changed to July 2005. (3) On Page 3 the title was changed from ‘‘Multipoint Distribution Service ‘‘Multipoint Distribution Service to ‘‘Experimental Radio Service.’’ Blocks 2 and 5 were deleted and the statement ‘‘Note here any further exceptions not already covered in questions 4 and 5’’ in block 6 was deleted. The blocks were then renumbered 1 through 5. The edition date was changed to July 2005. PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 71505 Federal Communications Commission. William F.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This Notice provides the status of ATSDR’s Superfund-mandated Substance-Specific Applied Research Program (SSARP) which was last VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:13 Nov 28, 2005 Jkt 208001 updated in a Federal Register notice in 2002 (67 FR 4836). Authorized by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA, also known as the Superfund statute), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) [42 U.S.C. 9604 (i)], this research program was initiated on October 17, 1991. At that time, a list of priority data needs for 38 priority hazardous substances frequently found at waste sites was announced in the Federal Register (56 FR 52178). The list was subsequently revised based on public comments and published in final form on November 16, 1992 (57 FR 54150). The 38 substances, each of which is found on ATSDR’s Priority List of Hazardous Substances (68 FR 63098, November 7, 2003), are aldrin/dieldrin, arsenic, benzene, beryllium, cadmium, carbon tetrachloride, chloroethane, chloroform, chromium, cyanide, p,p′DDT,DDE,DDD, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, lead, mercury, methylene chloride, nickel, polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs— includes 15 substances), selenium, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, trichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, and zinc. On July 30, 1997, priority data needs for 12 additional hazardous substances frequently found at waste sites were determined and announced in the Federal Register (62 FR 40820). The 12 substances, each of which is included in ATSDR’s Priority List of Hazardous Substances, are chlordane, 1,2-dibromo3-chloropropane, di-n-butyl phthalate, disulfoton, endrin (includes endrin aldehyde), endosulfan (alpha-, beta-, and endosulfan sulfate), heptachlor (includes heptachlor epoxide), hexachlorobutadiene, hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-, beta-, delta- and gamma-), manganese, methoxychlor, and toxaphene. More recently, priority data needs for 10 additional hazardous substances frequently found at waste sites were determined and announced in the Federal Register (68 FR 22704). The ten substances, each of which is included in ATSDR’s Priority List of Hazardous Substances, are asbestos, benzidine, chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, 1,2dibromoethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1dichloroethene, ethylbenzene, pentachlorophenol, 1,1,2,2tetrachloroethane, and total xylenes. Currently, the priority data needs for acrolein and barium are being identified and will be reported in a future Federal Register notice. PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 To date, 270 priority data needs have been identified for the 60 hazardous substances, and 86 priority data needs have been filled (Table 1). ATSDR fills these research needs through U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory mechanisms (test rules), private-sector voluntarism, and the direct use of CERCLA funds. Additional priority data needs are being addressed through collaboration with the National Toxicology Program (NTP), by ATSDR’s Great Lakes Human Health Effects Research Program, and other Agency programs. Priority data needs documents describing ATSDR’s rationale for prioritizing research needs for each substance are available. See ADDRESSES section of this Notice. This Notice also serves as a continuous call for voluntary research proposals. Private-sector organizations may volunteer to conduct research to address specific priority data needs identified in this Notice by indicating their interest through submission of a letter of intent to ATSDR (see ADDRESSES section of this Notice). A TriAgency Superfund Applied Research Committee (TASARC) composed of scientists from ATSDR, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)/NTP, and the EPA, will review all proposed voluntary research studies. ATSDR provides updates on the status of its Substance-Specific Applied Research Program approximately every three years or sooner, as needed. ATSDR considers the voluntary research effort to be important to the continuing implementation of the SSARP. Therefore, the Agency strongly encourages private-sector organizations to volunteer at any time to conduct research to fill data needs until ATSDR announces that other research mechanisms are in place to address those specific data needs. DATES: Private-sector organizations interested in volunteering to conduct research can write to Yee-Wan Stevens, M.S., Applied Toxicology Branch, Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine, ATSDR, 1600 Clifton Road, NE., Mailstop F–32, Atlanta, Georgia 30333, e-mail: YStevens@cdc.gov. Information about pertinent ongoing or completed research that may fill priority data needs cited in this Notice should be similarly addressed. Other Requirements: Projects that involve the collection of information from ten or more individuals and funded by cooperative agreement will be subject to review by the Office of ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\29NON1.SGM 29NON1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 71506]]

A. Purpose

    This information requirement consists of reports that do not impose 
collection burdens upon the public. These collections require 
information which is already available to the public at large or that 
is routinely exchanged by firms during the normal course of business. A 
general control number for these collections decreases the amount of 
paperwork generated by the approval process.
    GSA has published rules in the Federal Register that fall under 
information collection 3090-0250. The rule that prescribed clause 
552.238-70 ``Identification of Electronic Office Equipment Providing 
Accessibility for the Handicapped'' was published at 56 FR 29442, June 
27, 1991, titled ``Implementation of Public Law 99-506'', with an 
effective date of July 8, 1991; and Clause 552.238-74 ``Industrial 
Funding Fee and Sales Reporting'' published at 68 FR 41286, July 11, 
2003.

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    None.
    OBTAINING COPIES OF PROPOSALS: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (VIR), 1800 F Street, NW., Room 
4035, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 208-7312. Please cite OMB 
Control No. 3090-0250, Zero Burden Information Collection Reports, in
