PURPOSE(S):
This system of records is being
created to assist EPA with providing
management and technical support to
three scientific and technical advisory
committees (the SAB, the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee, and the
Advisory Council on Clean Air
Compliance Analysis) that report to the
EPA Administrator. The SAB Staff
Office requests nominations of experts
from the public wishing to nominate
themselves or others for committees and
panels providing advice; identifies
experts to become Special Government
Employees (SGEs) serving on advisory
committees and panels; manages their
personnel paperwork; ensures that SGEs
comply with ethics training and
financial disclosure requirements of the
Ethics in Government Act; and
coordinates experts’ participation in
approximately fifty advisory projects
per year and approximately eighty
meetings per year. The SAB Staff Office
conducts these activities to provide the
EPA Administrator with scientific
advice from balanced committees of
qualified experts on high priority
science issues. The SAB Database of
Scientific and Technical Experts assists
the SAB Staff Office to achieve this goal
in an efficient manner that protects the
privacy of scientific experts.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE
SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES OF USERS, AND
THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
General routine uses A, B, C, E, F, G,
H, I, J, K and L apply to this system.

July 6, 2009.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burden
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with
a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
does not display a valid control number.
Comments are requested concerning (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before August 12, 2009.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting PRA comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the FCC contact listed below as
soon as possible.

Direct all PRA comments to
Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at

Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and
to Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov, Federal

Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–0168.
Title: Section 43.43, Report of
Proposed Changes in Depreciation
Rates.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 24
respondents; 24 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 250
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154,
161, 201–205, and 218–220.
Total Annual Burden: 6,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $784,320.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality and
respondents are not being asked to
submit confidential information to the
Commission. However, if the
Commission requests respondents to
submit information which they believe
is confidential, respondents may request
confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this information collection
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) after this 60 day comment period
in order to obtain the full three year
clearance from them. The Commission
is requesting an extension (no change in
the reporting and/or recordkeeping
requirements) of this information
collection. The Commission is reporting
a significant decrease in the estimated
number of respondents/responses since
ADDRESSES:
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
this was last submitted to OMB in 2006.
In 2006, the Commission reported 10
respondents/responses with 6,000 total
annual burden hours. For this
submission to the OMB, the number of
respondents/responses increased to 24
with an estimated annual burden of
6,000 total annual burden hours and an
increase in annual costs. The annual
costs are now estimated to be $785,320
(no costs were estimated in 2006). The
reasons for the change in burden are
thus:
(1) The estimated time per response
was changed from 6,000 hours to 250
hours;
(2) A re-estimate of the number of
respondents/responses from 10 to 24
respondents; and
(3) The annual costs have been added
to include a $32,680 filing fee per 47
CFR 1.1105.
43.43 establishes the reporting
requirements for depreciation
prescription purposes. Communication
common carriers with annual operating
revenues of $138 million or more that
the Commission has found to be
dominant must file information
specified in Section 43.43 before making
any change in the depreciation rates
applicable to their operating plant.
Section 220 also allows the
Commission, in its discretion, to
prescribe the form of any and all
accounts, records, and memoranda to be
kept by carriers subject to the Act,
including the accounts, records and
memoranda of the movement of traffic,
as well as receipts and expenditures of
moneys. Carriers are required to file four
summary exhibits along with the
underlying data used to generate them,
and must provide the depreciation
factors (i.e., life, salvage, curve shape,
depreciation reserve) required to verify
the calculation of the carrier’s
depreciation expenses and rates. Midsized carriers are no longer required to
file theoretical reserve studies. Certain
price cap incumbent LECs in certain
instances may request a waiver of the
depreciation prescription process.

The boundaries were chosen based on easy line-of-sight locations
and generally represent all navigational waters. The area includes the
municipal waters of Camden, Rockport, Rockland and portions of Owls
Head.
There are marinas, yacht clubs and public landings/piers in the
proposed area with a combination of mooring fields and dock space for
the recreational and commercial vessels. Maine has certified that there
are six pumpout facilities within the proposed area available to the
boating public and the facilities are connected to the municipal sewage
system. A list of the facilities, locations, contact information, hours
of operation, and water depth is provided at the end of this petition.
Maine has provided documentation indicating that the total vessel
population is estimated to be 1151 in the proposed area. It is
estimated that 813 of the total vessel population may have a Marine
Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type.
The proposed area is identified as a High Value Wildlife Habitat by
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The area constitutes almost 17
square miles of marine habitat, 450 acres of wetlands, and essential
habitat for bald eagles. The area is adjacent to and bordered by
several State parks including the Clam Cove Scenic Area, and the Owls
Head Regional Recreation Area. There is one large marina, a yacht club
and public boating facilities in Camden, and a boatyard and a large
City owned park and dock in Rockland, and three large marinas, two boat
repair facilities, working fishing wharfs and a city waterfront
operation, together serving roughly 1151 boats. This area is a popular
destination for boaters due to its natural environmental diversity and
would benefit from a No Discharge Area.
