What Information Is EPA Particularly
Interested in?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it
to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are
Administrators of Public Health and
Environmental Quality Programs in
State and tribal governments (NAICS
92312/SIC 9431 and NAICS 92411/SIC
9511).
Title: Information Collection Request
for the National Listing of Fish
Advisories.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1959.03,
OMB Control No. 2040–0226.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on September 30,
2007. 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, and 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 National Listing of Fish
Advisories (NLFA) database contains
information on the number of new
advisories issued by each state, territory,
or tribe annually. The advisory
information collected identifies the
waterbody under advisory, the fish or
shellfish species and size ranges
included in the advisory, the chemical
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
contaminants and residue levels causing
the advisory to be issued, the waterbody
type (river, lake, estuary, coastal
waters), and the target populations to
whom the advisory is directed. This
information is collected under the
authority of section 104 of the Clean
Water Act, which provides for the
collection of information to be used to
protect human health and the
environment. The results of the survey
are shared with states, territories, tribes,
other federal agencies, and the general
public through the NLFA database and
the distribution of annual fish advisory
fact sheets. The responses to the survey
are voluntary and the information
requested is part of the state public
record associated with the advisories.
No confidential business information is
requested. 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 40 CFR are listed in 40
CFR part 9.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 38.76 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 92.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 3.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
3,566 labor hours.
Estimated total annual burden costs:
$124,755.08. No capital or startup costs
are required.

Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is no change in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
Control Number: 3060–XXXX.
Title: Consummation of Assignments
and Transfers of Control of Station
Authorization.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 586
respondents; 586 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 586 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality
pertaining to the information collection
requirements in this collection.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this new information
collection to the OMB after this 60-day
comment period to obtain the full threeyear clearance from them. The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve the establishment of a
new collection for consummation of
assignments and transfers of control of
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18477
station authorization. In addition, the
Commission is requesting the OMB’s
approval of mandatory electronic filing
of consummations of assignments and
transfers of control of licenses for all
telecommunications services.
A consummation is a party’s
notification to the Commission that a
transaction (assignment or transfer of
control of station authorization) has
been completed within a designated
period of time. A consummation is
applicable to all international
telecommunications services, including
International High Frequency (IHF),
Section 214 Applications (ITC), Satellite
Space Stations (SAT), Submarine Cable
Landing Licenses (SCL) and Satellite
Earth Station (SES) stations.
Currently, applicants send multiple
letters to various offices within the
Commission for each file number and
call sign that are part of the
consummation. The new, proposed
consummation module will eliminate
the applicant’s requirement to notify the
Commission by letter with the details of
the consummation. With this new
collection, the applicant will complete
an on-line form (consummation module)
in the Commission’s electronic
International Bureau Filing System
(‘‘IBFS’’). After the applicant enters the
FCC Registration Number (FRN) in the
form, the system will generate a list of
file numbers and call signs that are
related to the FRN. The applicant can
select the file numbers and call signs
that are part of the consummation. The
consummation module: (1) Saves time
for the applicants and the Commission
staff because the information is readily
accessible for viewing and processing 24
hours a day/7 days a week, (2)
eliminates the applicants completion by
paper and mailing of letters, and (3)
expedites the Commission staff’s receipt
of consummations in a timely manner.
The Commission has authority for this
information collection pursuant to 47
CFR 1.767, 25.119, 63.24(e), 73.3540
and 73.3541. Without this collection of
information, the Commission would not
have critical information such as a
change in a controlling interest in the
ownership of the licensee. Furthermore,
the Commission would not have the
authority to review assignments and
transfers of control of satellite licenses
to determine whether the initial license
was obtained in good faith with the
intent to construct a satellite system.
Federal Communications Commission.

30, 2007. 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, and 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 National Listing of Fish Advisories (NLFA) database
contains information on the number of new advisories issued by each
state, territory, or tribe annually. The advisory information collected
identifies the waterbody under advisory, the fish or shellfish species
and size ranges included in the advisory, the chemical contaminants and
residue levels causing the advisory to be issued, the waterbody type
(river, lake, estuary, coastal waters), and the target populations to
whom the advisory is directed. This information is collected under the
authority of section 104 of the Clean Water Act, which provides for the
collection of information to be used to protect human health and the
environment. The results of the survey are shared with states,
territories, tribes, other federal agencies, and the general public
through the NLFA database and the distribution of annual fish advisory
fact sheets. The responses to the survey are voluntary and the
information requested is part of the state public record associated
with the advisories. No confidential business information is requested.
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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 38.76
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 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.
The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential respondents: 92.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 3.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,566 labor hours.
Estimated total annual burden costs: $124,755.08. No capital or
startup costs are required.

Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval?
There is no change in the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
