Title: NESHAP for Mineral Wool
Production (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1799.08, OMB Control Number 2060–
0362.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on June 30, 2013. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
either conduct or sponsor the collection
of information while this submission is
pending at OMB.
Abstract: The affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart DDD.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit an initial
notification report, performance tests,
and periodic reports and results.
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Reports are required
semiannually at a minimum.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operator of mineral wool
production facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
Frequency of Response: Initially and
semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,581. ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3 (b).
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$157,566, which includes $153,066 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and
$4,500 in operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the respondent labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR.
This is due to two considerations: (1)
The reporting requirements have not
changed over the past three years and
are not anticipated to change over the
next three years; and (2) the growth rate
for the industry is very low, negative or
non-existent, so there is no significant
change in the overall labor hours.
However, there is an adjustment
increase in the respondent labor costs
due to the use of updated labor rates.
There is a decrease in Agency labor
hours and costs due to a mathematical
correction. The previous ICR incorrectly
calculated the number of hours
associated with review of excess
emissions reports. This ICR corrects the
error, which results in a decrease of 55
hours and an associated decrease in
labor costs.

Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
[[Page 37810]]
burdens, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take
this opportunity to comment on the following information collection, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. Comments are
requested concerning 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
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; and ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees.
The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before August 23,
2013. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

Commission via email to PRA@fcc.gov and Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

such person, entity, or corporation.
(2) Each such filing on or after May 1, 1969, initially shall
consist of a written instrument containing all of the terms and
conditions of such contract, agreement or understanding without
reference to any other paper or document by incorporation or otherwise.
Subsequent filings may simply set forth renewal, amendment or change,

(iii) Agreements for the acquisition of licensee's or permittee's
stock by the issuing licensee or permittee corporation. Pledges, trust
agreements, options to purchase stock and other executory agreements
are required to be filed. However, trust agreements or abstracts
thereof are not required to be filed, unless requested specifically by
the FCC. Should the FCC request an abstract of the trust agreement in
lieu of the trust agreement, the licensee or permittee will submit the
following information concerning the trust:
(A) Name of trust;
(B) Duration of trust;

corporation's stock, the only information required to be filed is the
name of any person voting 1% or more of the stock by proxy, the number
of shares voted by proxy by such person, and the total number of shares
voted at the particular stockholders' meeting in which the shares were
voted by proxy.

payable, the purchase of new equipment, or the maintenance of current
assets.

stockholders of a corporation, other than the licensee or permittee,
having an interest, direct or indirect, in the licensee or permittee as
specified by Sec. 73.3615.
(7) Agreements providing for the assignment of a license or permit
or agreements for the transfer of stock filed in accordance with FCC

terms of this rule provision.
