Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 4, 2007 / Notices
Paper discussing the results of
Syngenta’s amphibian studies
conducted in 2005 - 2006. In addition,
EPA has continued to review the open
literature studies investigating whether
atrazine exposure affects amphibian
gonadal development. For this second
SAP meeting, EPA plans to include only
those studies that tested atrazine alone
and examined atrazine’s potential
effects on amphibian gonadal
development. Studies on mixtures of
pesticides that include atrazine as well
as studies of the potential for atrazine to
cause adverse effects other than or in
addition to amphibian gonadal
development are not being considered
for the SAP meeting.
In this Federal Register Notice, EPA is
soliciting public comment on the
completeness of its list of open
literature studies on the potential effects
of atrazine on amphibian gonadal
development. If other publications
relevant to these potential effects are
available and have not been included in
this list, EPA requests that citations be
submitted during the comment period.
If possible, a copy of the publication
should be submitted as well.
EPA has reviewed the following list of
relevant open literature studies in
preparation for the October SAP
meeting:

The FCC Form 312–EZ, Qualification
Questions, is used by applicants for the
C-band and Ku-band earth stations (noncommon carrier applicants) who are
eligible for the ‘‘auto-grant’’ procedure.
Under the ‘‘auto-grant process’’ the
International Bureau of the FCC
automatically grants ‘‘routine’’ earth
station applications proposing to use the
C-band or Ku-band. To be considered
‘‘routine’’, earth station must meet a
number of requirements, including
primarily the following: (1) The earth
station antenna must meet certain
minimum diameter requirements; (2)
the proposed earth station must meet
the antenna performance standard and
power limitations contained in Part 25
of the Commission’s rules; (3) the earth
station must be coordinated as required
by Part 25; (4) the applicant seeks to
communicate only with satellites
authorized to provide service in the
United States; and (5) the proposed
station is otherwise consistent with the
Commission’s legal requirements.
This information collection is used by
Commission staff in carrying out its
duties concerning satellite
communications as required by Sections
301, 308, 309, and 310 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended. It is also used by the
Commission staff in carrying out its
duties under the World Trade
Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom
Agreement. Without such information,
the Commission could not determine
whether to permit respondents to
provide telecommunications services in
the United States.
