SUMMARY: EPA Region III is announcing
that it will be using its Web site to
provide public notice of its intent to
terminate pesticide producing
establishment registrations under
section 7 of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
in cases where it is unable to provide
notice of its intent to terminate directly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 7
of FIFRA requires that all
establishments that produce pesticides,
active ingredients used in producing
pesticides, or devices subject to FIFRA
be registered with EPA, and that all
such establishments submit annual
pesticide production reports to EPA.
EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 167
establish requirements concerning these
annual pesticide production reports
including the types of information to be
included in annual pesticide production
reports (40 CFR 167.85). The regulations
require annual pesticide production
reports to be submitted to the EPA
Regional Office which serves the area
where the establishment is located (40
CFR 167.90). For establishments that are
not found at the same location as their
company headquarters, the regulations
require the annual pesticide production
reports to be submitted to the EPA
Regional Office that has jurisdiction
over the State in which the company
headquarters is located (40 CFR 167.90).
EPA’s Region III office serves
establishments or establishments with
company headquarters located in
Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia and the District
of Columbia (40 CFR 1.7).
The regulations state that
establishment registrations are subject to
termination if annual pesticide
production reports are not submitted (40
CFR 167.20(f)). Upon deciding to
terminate an establishment registration
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
47583
based on the failure to submit annual
pesticide production reports, EPA
Region III generally sends a notice of
intent to terminate letter (NOIT) directly
to the establishment registrant via
certified mail with return receipt
requested, or by other reliable delivery
service that provides written
verification of delivery. If the
establishment registrant does not submit
the missing pesticide production
report(s) by the deadline set forth in the
NOIT, EPA Region III will issue it a
notice of termination letter (NOT).
NOITs are generally mailed to the
establishment registrant’s last address of
record. Occasionally, such notices are
returned as undeliverable and, despite
reasonable efforts to locate such
registrants, EPA Region III is unable to
directly notify them of its intent to
terminate their establishment
registrations. In the past, EPA used the
Federal Register to provide public
notice of its intent to terminate such
registrations. EPA Region III will now be
using its Web site to provide public
notice of its intent to terminate such
establishment registrations. The Web
site address is: https://www.epa.gov/
reg3wcmd/pesticides.htm.
EPA Region III will continue to first
attempt to provide NOITs directly to
establishment registrants at their last
address of record. In cases where such
notices are returned as undeliverable,
and when reasonable subsequent efforts
to locate such parties are unsuccessful,
EPA Region III will use its Web site to
provide public notice of its intent to
terminate such registrations. This notice
addresses establishments or
establishments with company
headquarters located in Delaware,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West
Virginia and the District of Columbia
only.

Total Annual Burden: 4,261 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $368,900.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Respondents may request materials or
information submitted to the
Commission be withheld from public
inspection 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 approval of a revision of
this information collection.
The reason for the revision is that the
Commission is consolidating
information collections (ICs) previously
approved by the OMB. They were OMB
Control Numbers 3060–0947 (Section
101.1327) and 3060–0963 (Sections
101.527 and 101.529). Those ICs were
discontinued because it was found that
the reporting requirements contained in
those rule sections would not be
reported until the year 2010 (when the
10 year license renewal term is
expiring). Therefore, all these reporting
requirements are now being
consolidated into this OMB control
number 3060–0531. The information
required by Sections 101.527, 101.529,
101.1011, 101.1325, and 101.1327 of the
Commission’s rules is used to determine
whether an applicant for renewal of a
Local Multipoint Distribution Service
(LMDS), Multiple Address System
(MAS) or 24 GHz Service license has
complied with the requirement to
provide substantial service by the end of
the ten-year license term.
The FCC uses this information to
determine whether the applicant’s
license will be renewed at the end of the
license period. The information
requested pursuant to Section 101.103
(originally approved under OMB
Control Number 3060–0531) of the
Commission’s rules is used by the FCC
staff in carrying out its duties to
determine the technical, legal and other
qualifications of applicants to operate
and remain licensees to operate a station
in the LMDS. Specifically, the frequency
coordination information requested by
Section 101.103 is necessary to facilitate
the rendition of communication services
on an interference-free basis in each
service area. The frequency
coordination procedures ensure that
LMDS applicants and licensees have the
information necessary to cooperate in
PO 00000
Frm 00035

the selection and use of frequencies
assigned in order to minimize
interference and thereby obtain the most
effective use of the spectrum. The
information is also necessary for the
Commission staff to resolve interference
conflicts that cannot be settled between
or among the affected applicants and
licensees. Please note that none of the
rule sections have been modified or
changed. The Commission is simply
revising this collection to include the
renewal requirements previously
approved under OMB Control Numbers
3060–0947 and 3060–0963.

is contained in 47 U.S.C. Section 309(j).
Total Annual Burden: 16,324 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is a need for confidentiality with
respect to all Private Land Mobile Radio
Service (PLMRS) filers in this
collection. Pursuant to Section 208(b) of
the E–Government Act of 2002, 44 US.C.
3501, in conformance with the Privacy
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau)
instructs licensees to use the FCC’s
Universal Licensing System (ULS),
Antenna Structure Registration (ASR),
Commission Registration System
(CORES) and related systems and
subsystems to submit information.
CORES is used to receive a FCC
Registration Number (FRN) and
password, after which one must register
all current call sign and ASR numbers
associated with a FRN within the
Bureau’s system of records (ULS
database). Although ULS stores all
information pertaining to the individual
license via the FRN, confidential
information is accessible only by
persons or entities that hold the
password for each account, and the
Bureau’s Licensing Division staff. Upon
the request of a FRN, the individual
licensee is consenting to make publicly
available, via the ULS database, all

information that is not confidential in
nature.
Information on PLMRS licensees is
maintained in the Commission’s system
of records, FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless
Services Licensing Records’’. The
licensee records will be publicly
available and routinely used in
accordance with subsection (b) of the
Privacy Act. FRN numbers and material
which is afforded confidential treatment
pursuant to a request made under 47
CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules
will not be available for public
inspection. Any personally identifiable
information (PII) that individual
applicants provide is covered by a
system of records, FCC/WTB–1, and
these and all other records may be
disclosed pursuant to Routine Uses as
stated in this system of records notice.
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 approval of an extension of
this information collection. The
Commission is also reporting a
significant increase in the total annual
burden hours (+11,559 hours) due to an
increase in respondents/responses.
Therefore, the Commission has adjusted
these estimates to report more accurate
information to the OMB. Each licensee
in the Private Land Mobile Radio
Service (PLMRS) service must comply
with the recordkeeping requirements of
47 CFR 90.443 of the Commission’s
rules. Specifically, paragraph (b) of that
rule section requires that the dates and
pertinent details of any maintenance
performed on station equipment, and
the name and address of the service
technician who did the work be entered
in the station records. These records
will reflect whether or not maintenance
of the licensee’s equipment has been
performed.
The maintenance records may be used
by the licensee or Commission field
personnel to note any recurring
equipment problems or conditions that
may lead to degraded equipment
performance and/or interference
generation. Tower lighting records are
required to ensure that the licensee is
aware of the tower light condition and
proper operation, in order to prevent
and/or correct any hazards to air
navigation.

Section 154(i)
Total Annual Burden: 36,601 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
To protect the identities and locations of
key first responder communications
personnel, the Commission will treat
emergency contact information
submitted into ULS as confidential and
will not make such information publicly
available. The contact information
submitted into ULS by public safety
licensees and non-public safety
licensees designated as emergency first
responders will be available only to
Commission staff. Interested licensees
should file their operational point of
contact information in ULS in the form
of a confidential pleading.
To protect the confidentiality,
integrity and availability of the
emergency contact information
submitted in this collection, the
Commission will provide the
information assurance services it
currently provides to encrypt and store
sensitive information.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
requesting approval of an extension of
this information collection. The
Commission sought and received
emergency OMB approval of this
information collection on September 3,
2009. 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’s Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau)
enhanced the existing Universal
Licensing System (ULS) to collect
operational point of contact information
from public safety licensees and nonpublic safety licensees designated as
emergency first responders responsible
for coordinating with state, county and
local authorities during times of
emergency. The process of procuring
and maintaining spectrum using the
ULS remains intact and requires no
additional training for licensees to
participate in this voluntary collection.
This enhancement to ULS to collect
emergency point of contact information
will enable Commission staff to more
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

effectively provide immediate assistance
and outreach to licensees during times
of emergency. Using this information,
the Bureau will be able to coordinate
among licensees in given geographic
areas to make more wireless radio
service available to emergency first
responders and emergency operations.
The Bureau deployed these
enhancements upon receipt of OMB
approval for the emergency request.
Public safety licensees designated as
emergency first responders operating
pursuant to Part 90 rules should identify
the following information regarding the
operational point of contact for the
Licensee directly responsible for
coordinating with the state, county,
and/or local emergency authorities: (a)
Name and title; (b) office telephone
number; (c) mobile telephone number;
and (4) e-mail address.
The Bureau will issue a Public Notice
with step-by-step instructions on how to
use the enhanced features made
available to licensees to provide this
information.

accessible only by persons or entities that hold the password for each
account, and the Bureau's Licensing Division staff. Upon the request of
a FRN, the individual licensee is consenting to make publicly
available, via the ULS database, all
[[Page 47585]]
information that is not confidential in nature.
Information on PLMRS licensees is maintained in the Commission's
system of records, FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records''.
The licensee records will be publicly available and routinely used in
accordance with subsection (b) of the Privacy Act. FRN numbers and
material which is afforded confidential treatment pursuant to a request
made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules will not be available
for public inspection. Any personally identifiable information (PII)
that individual applicants provide is covered by a system of records,
FCC/WTB-1, and these and all other records may be disclosed pursuant to
Routine Uses as stated in this system of records notice.
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 approval of an extension of
this information collection. The Commission is also reporting a
significant increase in the total annual burden hours (+11,559 hours)
due to an increase in respondents/responses. Therefore, the Commission
has adjusted these estimates to report more accurate information to the
OMB. Each licensee in the Private Land Mobile Radio Service (PLMRS)
service must comply with the recordkeeping requirements of 47 CFR
90.443 of the Commission's rules. Specifically, paragraph (b) of that
rule section requires that the dates and pertinent details of any
maintenance performed on station equipment, and the name and address of
the service technician who did the work be entered in the station
records. These records will reflect whether or not maintenance of the
licensee's equipment has been performed.
The maintenance records may be used by the licensee or Commission
field personnel to note any recurring equipment problems or conditions
that may lead to degraded equipment performance and/or interference
generation. Tower lighting records are required to ensure that the
licensee is aware of the tower light condition and proper operation, in
order to prevent and/or correct any hazards to air navigation.
OMB Control Number: 3060-1127.
Title: First Responder Emergency Contact Information in the
Universal Licensing System (ULS).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 133,095 respondents; 133,095 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .25 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. Section 154(i)
Total Annual Burden: 36,601 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: To protect the identities and
locations of key first responder communications personnel, the
Commission will treat emergency contact information submitted into ULS
as confidential and will not make such information publicly available.
The contact information submitted into ULS by public safety licensees
and non-public safety licensees designated as emergency first
responders will be available only to Commission staff. Interested
licensees should file their operational point of contact information in
ULS in the form of a confidential pleading.
To protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the
emergency contact information submitted in this collection, the
Commission will provide the information assurance services it currently
provides to encrypt and store sensitive information.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is requesting approval of an
extension of this information collection. The Commission sought and
received emergency OMB approval of this information collection on
September 3, 2009. 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's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau
(Bureau) enhanced the existing Universal Licensing System (ULS) to
collect operational point of contact information from public safety
licensees and non-public safety licensees designated as emergency first
responders responsible for coordinating with state, county and local
authorities during times of emergency. The process of procuring and
maintaining spectrum using the ULS remains intact and requires no
additional training for licensees to participate in this voluntary
collection. This enhancement to ULS to collect emergency point of
contact information will enable Commission staff to more effectively
provide immediate assistance and outreach to licensees during times of
emergency. Using this information, the Bureau will be able to
coordinate among licensees in given geographic areas to make more
wireless radio service available to emergency first responders and
emergency operations. The Bureau deployed these enhancements upon
receipt of OMB approval for the emergency request.
Public safety licensees designated as emergency first responders
operating pursuant to Part 90 rules should identify the following
information regarding the operational point of contact for the Licensee
directly responsible for coordinating with the state, county, and/or
local emergency authorities: (a) Name and title; (b) office telephone
number; (c) mobile telephone number; and (4) e-mail address.
The Bureau will issue a Public Notice with step-by-step
instructions on how to use the enhanced features made available to
licensees to provide this information.
Federal Communications Commission.
