TABLE 2—REGISTRANTS REQUESTING cancellation order in the Federal
VOLUNTARY AMENDMENTS—Continued Register.

Drexel Chemical Company,
P.O. Box 13327, Memphis, TN 38113–0327.
IV. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that
a registrant of a pesticide product may
at any time request that any of its
pesticide registrations be canceled or
amended to terminate one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register.
Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires
that before acting on a request for
voluntary cancellation, EPA must
provide a 30-day public comment
period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In
addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
requires that EPA provide a 180-day
comment period on a request for
voluntary cancellation or termination of
any minor agricultural use before
granting the request, unless:
1. The registrants request a waiver of
the comment period, or
2. The EPA Administrator determines
that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse
effect on the environment.
The Iprodione, Pendimethalin, and
Permethrin registrants have requested
that EPA waive the 180-day comment
period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a
30-day comment period on the proposed
requests.
V. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Requests

VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products that are
currently in the United States and that
were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of
the action. If the requests for voluntary
amendments to delete uses are granted,
the Agency intends to publish the

COMMISSION
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for use deletion should submit
the withdrawal in writing to the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT. If the products(s) have been
subject to a previous cancellation
action, the effective date of cancellation
and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
In any order issued in response to
these requests for amendments to delete
uses, EPA proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of
any existing stocks of the products
listed in Table 1 of Unit III.
Once EPA has approved product
labels reflecting the requested
amendments to delete uses, registrants
will be permitted to sell or distribute
products under the previously approved
labeling for a period of 18 months after
the date of Federal Register publication
of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited
from selling or distributing the products
whose labels include the deleted uses
identified in Table 1 of Unit III., except
for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 or for proper disposal.
Persons other than the registrant may
sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of
products whose labels include the
deleted uses until supplies are
exhausted, provided that such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with
the terms of the previously approved
labeling on, or that accompanied, the
deleted uses.
Information Collection Being

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burden and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3502–
3520), the FCC invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning:

Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimates; 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 OMB 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 OMB
Control Number.

be submitted on or before June 9, 2014.

submitting PRA comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should

Total Annual Burden: 1,512 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $50,700.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting that
the respondents submit confidential
information to the FCC. Respondents
may, however, request confidential
treatment for information they believe to
be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Following the
passage of the Telecommunications Act
of 1996 (‘‘1996 Act’’), the Commission
adopted interstate access charge and
universal service support reforms. These
reforms were designed to establish a
‘‘pro-competitive, deregulatory national
policy framework’’ for the United States
telecommunications industry.
Specifically, the Commission aligned
the interstate access rate structure more
closely with the manner in which costs
are incurred, and created a universal
service support mechanism for rate-ofreturn carriers (Interstate Common Line
Support (ICLS)) to replace implicit
support in interstate access charges with
explicit support that is portable to all
eligible telecommunications carriers. To
administer the ICLS mechanism, the
Universal Service Administrative
Company required, among other things,
that rate-of-return carriers collect
projected cost and revenue data. In
addition, carriers were required to
submit tariff data, including certain cost
studies, to ensure that their rates are just
and reasonable.
Pursuant to the November 18, 2011
USF/ICC Transformation Order (FCC
11–161), the Commission no longer
requires rate-of-return carriers to
conduct line port cost studies or cost
studies to establish rates for certain
optional switched access rate elements.
Only two information collection
requirements were retained:
GSF Allocation: Rate-of-return carriers
that use general purpose computers to
provide non-regulated billing and
collection services are required to
allocate a portion of their general
purpose computer costs to the billing
and collection category, which will
require them to determine general
purpose computer investment. Carriers
may use the general purpose computer
investment amount they develop for a
period of three years. The USF/ICC
Transformation Order does not affect
the requirement that carriers allocate
these costs as part of the rate
development process for common line
and special access services.
Transport and Special Access
Deaveraging: Rate-of-return carriers may
modify their access tariffs to offer
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:53 May 08, 2014
Jkt 232001
transport and special access services at
deaveraged rates. The carriers must have
a tariffed cross-connect element and
define their applicable zones. Rate-ofreturn carriers do not have to file for
approval of their zone plans before
making a tariff filing. The USF/ICC
Transformation Order capped rate-ofreturn carriers’ switched access rates.
Thus, rate-of-return carriers should no
longer incur the costs of studies
otherwise needed to establish
deaveraged switched access transport
rates. These carriers, however, still are
able to deaverage special access rates
because the USF/ICC Transformation
Order does not affect these rates.
