MRAs also support the development of healthbased ambient water quality criteria and biosolids criteria under the Clean Water Act (CWA). These criteria protect against adverse human exposures to infectious disease microorganisms in recreational waters, shellfish growing waters, and wastewater biosolids. Because of the importance of MRAs, OW developed a Microbial Risk Assessment Framework and is developing a draft Protocol for Microbial Risk Assessment to Support Human Health Protection for Water-Based Media to provide Agency guidance for performing microbial risk assessments. Current Agency risk assessment guidance is geared towards chemical risk assessment. MRAs do not fit easily within that framework because of microbial and host factors that do not affect chemical risk assessments. A separate protocol is needed to help risk assessors address these factors in a consistent way. The draft Protocol for Microbial Risk Assessment to Support Human Health Protection for Water-Based Media will be used as guidance for preparing qualitative or quantitative MRAs for recreational water exposures, evaluation of biosolids application to land, and drinking water regulation development applications. OW may also make the Protocol available to States, nongovernmental organizations, and international agencies to use in conducting risk assessments related to water media. In addition to supporting new regulations under the SDWA and supporting the development of criteria under the CWA, the MRA Protocol may also be used for a number of different applications such as assessing the potential human health risks associated with a known pathogen, determining critical control points for risk mitigation/control measures, identifying and prioritizing research and development, assisting in epidemiological investigations, and determining consequences of management options to reduce risk. The Office of Water is requesting that the SAB provide advice on the draft Protocol for Microbial Risk Assessment to Support Human Health Protection for Water-Based Media and to provide recommendations on: how to improve the overall approach, the applicability of the Protocol, the reasonableness of the protocol, the clarity of the Protocol, the completeness and robustness of the protocol, and the ease of use of the Protocol for conducting water-based microbial risk assessments. VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:38 Aug 17, 2009 Jkt 217001 The SAB DWC will also discuss its draft advisory report on the Agency’s supporting analysis for the proposed revised Total Coliform Rule during this meeting. The Committee met previously on May 20, 2009 and on June 9–June 10, 2009 to deliberate on the Agency’s charge questions regarding the supporting analysis. A Federal Register Notice dated May 1, 2009 (74 FR 20297– 20298) announced these meetings and provided background information on this advisory activity. Availability of Meeting Materials: The meeting agenda and other materials, including a link to access the EPA review document(s) related to the draft Protocol for Microbial Risk Assessment to Support Human Health Protection for Water-Based Media and draft advisory report on the Agency’s supporting analysis for the proposed revised Total Coliform Rule, will be posted on the SAB Web site (https://www.epa.gov/sab) in advance of the meeting.

    Needs and Uses: On July 31, 2009, the Federal Communications 
Commission (''Commission'') released an Order on Reconsideration 
titled, ``In the Matter of the Procedures to Govern the Use of 
Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels in the 5925-6425 MHz/ 3700-
4200 MHz Bands and 14.0-14.5 GHz/11.7-12.2 GHz Bands'' (FCC 09-63), IB 
Docket No. 02-10 (``ESV Reconsideration Order''). In the ESV 
Reconsideration Order, the Commission resolved various concerns raised 
regarding the operational restrictions placed on ESVs that are designed 
to protect the fixed-satellite service (FSS), operating in the C-band 
and Ku-band, and the terrestrially-based fixed service (FS), operating 
in the C-band, from harmful interference. The Commission adopted rule 
changes that should provide ESV operators with greater operational 
flexibility while continuing to ensure that the other services in these 
bands are protected from harmful interference.
    The PRA information collection requirements contained in the ESV 
Reconsideration Order are as follows:
    1. Any ESV applicant that uses transmitters with off-axis EIRP 
densities lower than or equal to the off-axis EIRP limits must: (1) 
file three tables showing the off-axis EIRP level of the proposed earth 
station antenna in the direction of the plane of the GSO; the co-
polarized EIRP in the elevation plane, that is, the plane perpendicular 
to the plane of the GSO; and cross polarized EIRP. In each table, the 
EIRP level must be provided at increments of 0.1[deg] for angles 
between 0[deg] and 10[deg] off-axis, and at increments of 5[deg] for 
angles between 10[deg] and 180[deg] off-axis or; (2) a certification, 
in Schedule B, that the ESV antenna conforms to the gain pattern 
criteria of Sec.  25.209(a) and (b), that, combined with the maximum 
input power density calculated from the EIRP density less the antenna 
gain, which is entered in Schedule B, demonstrates that the off-axis 
EIRP spectral density envelope will be met under the assumption that 
the antenna is pointed at the target satellite.
    2. An ESV applicant proposing to implement a transmitter that will 
maintain a pointing error of less than or equal to 0.2[deg] must 
provide a certification from the equipment manufacturer stating that 
the antenna tracking system will maintain a pointing error of less than 
or equal to 0.2[deg] between the orbital location of the target 
satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the ESV antenna and that the 
antenna tracking system is capable of ceasing emissions within 100 
milliseconds if the angle between the orbital location of the target 
satellite and the axis of the main lobe of the ESV antenna exceeds 
0.5[deg].
    3. An ESV applicant proposing to implement a transmitter with an 
antenna pointing error of greater than 0.2 degrees must: (A) declare, 
in its application, a maximum antenna pointing error and demonstrate 
that the maximum antenna pointing error can be achieved without 
exceeding the off-axis EIRP spectral-density limits in paragraph 
(a)(1)(i) of this section; and (B) demonstrate that the ESV transmitter 
can detect if the transmitter exceeds the declared maximum antenna 
pointing error and can cease transmission within 100 milliseconds if 
the angle between the orbital location of the target satellite and the 
axis of the main lobe of the ESV antenna exceeds the declared maximum 
antenna pointing error, and will not resume transmissions until the 
angle between the orbital location of the target satellite and the axis 
of the main lobe of the ESV antenna is less than or equal to the 
declared maximum antenna pointing error.
    4. An ESV applicant proposing to implement a transmitter that 
exceeds the off-axis EIRP spectral-density limits shall provide the 
following certifications and demonstration as exhibits to its earth 
station application: (i) a statement from the target satellite operator 
certifying that the proposed operation of the ESV has the potential to 
create harmful interference to satellite networks adjacent to the 
target satellite(s) that may be unacceptable; (ii) a statement from the 
target satellite operator certifying that the power-density levels that 
the ESV applicant provided to the target satellite operator are 
consistent with the existing coordination agreements between its 
satellite(s) and the adjacent satellite systems within 6[deg] of 
orbital separation from its satellite(s); (iii) a statement from the 
target satellite operator certifying that it will include the power-
density levels of the ESV applicant in all future coordination 
agreements; (iv) A demonstration from the ESV operator that the ESV 
system is capable of detecting and automatically ceasing emissions 
within 100 milliseconds when the transmitter exceeds the off-axis EIRP 
spectral-densities supplied to the target satellite operator; and (v) a 
certification from the

[[Page 41700]]

ESV operator that the ESV system complies with the power limits in 
Section 25.204(h).
    5. The point of contact information referred to in paragraph (a)(3) 
and, if applicable, paragraph (a)(6), of Sections 25.221 and 25.222, 
must be included in the application.
    The information collection requirements accounted for in this 
collection are necessary to determine the technical and legal 
qualifications of applicants or licensees to operate a station, 
transfer or assign a license, and to determine whether the 
authorization is in the public interest, convenience and necessity. 
Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to 
permit respondents to provide telecommunication services in the U.S. 
Therefore, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the World Trade 
Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement.
