Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 10, 2014 / Notices
Federal Advisory Committees may be
found at https://www.epa.gov/sab.
Pursuant to section 12307 of the
Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 133–
79), the EPA is establishing a new
agriculture-related standing committee
of the SAB. The SAB Agricultural
Science Committee will provide advice
to the chartered SAB on matters referred
to the Board that EPA and the Board, in
consultation with the Secretary of
Agriculture, determine will have a
significant direct impact on farming and
agriculture-related industries. Initial
appointments to the committee will be
for a mix of 2 and 3 year terms to ensure
rotation and staggered terms for future
years.
Expertise Sought: The SAB Staff
Office is seeking nominations of experts
to serve on the SAB Agricultural
Science Committee with demonstrated
expertise in agriculture-related sciences,
including: Agricultural economics,
including valuation of ecosystem goods
and services; agricultural chemistry;
agricultural engineering; agronomy,
including soil science; aquaculture
science; biofuels engineering;
biotechnology; crop and animal science;
environmental chemistry; forestry; and
hydrology. For further information,
please contact Ms. Sanzone, DFO, as
identified above.
Selection criteria include:
—Demonstrated scientific credentials
and disciplinary expertise in relevant
fields;
—Willingness to commit time to the
committee and demonstrated ability
to work constructively and effectively
on committees;
—Background and experiences that
would contribute to the diversity of
perspectives on the committee, e.g.,
geographic, economic, social, cultural,
educational backgrounds, and
professional affiliations; and
—For the committee as a whole,
consideration of the collective breadth
and depth of scientific expertise; and
a balance of scientific perspectives.
As the committee undertakes specific
advisory activities, the SAB Staff Office
will consider two additional criteria for
each new activity: absence of financial
conflicts of interest and absence of an
appearance of a loss of impartiality.
How To Submit Nominations: Any
interested person or organization may
nominate qualified persons to be
considered for appointment to this
advisory committee. Individuals may
self-nominate. Nominations should be
submitted in electronic format
(preferred) following the instructions for
‘‘Nominating Experts to the SAB
Agricultural Science Committee’’

provided on the SAB Web site.
Instructions can be accessed through the
‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ link on the
blue navigational bar on the SAB Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/sab. To be
considered, all nominations should
include the information requested. EPA
values and welcomes diversity. In an
effort to obtain nominations of diverse
candidates, EPA encourages
nominations of women and men of all
racial and ethnic groups.
The following information should be
provided on the nomination form:
Contact information about the person
making the nomination; contact
information about the nominee; the
disciplinary and specific areas of
expertise of the nominee; the nominee’s
curriculum vita; and a biographical
sketch of the nominee indicating current
position, educational background;
research activities; sources of any
research funding over the last two years;
and recent service on other national
advisory committees or national
professional organizations. Persons
having questions about the nomination
procedures, or who are unable to submit
nominations through the SAB Web site,
should contact the Designated Federal
Officer for the committee, as identified
above. Non-electronic submissions must
follow the same format and contain the
same information as the electronic form.
The SAB Staff Office will acknowledge
receipt of nominations.
Candidates invited to serve will be
asked to submit the ‘‘Confidential
Financial Disclosure Form for Special
Government Employees Serving on
Federal Advisory Committees at the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’’
(EPA Form 3110–48). This confidential
form allows the EPA to determine
whether there is a statutory conflict
between that person’s public
responsibilities as a Special Government
Employee and private interests and
activities, or the appearance of a loss of
impartiality, as defined by Federal
regulation. The form may be viewed and
downloaded through the ‘‘Ethics
Requirements for Advisors’’ link on the
blue navigational bar on the SAB Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/sab.

COMMISSION
[3060–0430]
Information Collection Being
Submitted for Review and Approval to
the Office of Management and Budget
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC or Commission)
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
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 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.

presenter may request confidential
treatment of ex parte presentations. In
addition, the Commission will permit
parties to remove metadata containing
confidential or privileged information,
and the Commission will also not
require parties to file electronically ex
parte notices that contain confidential
information. The Commission will,
however, require a redacted version to
be filed electronically at the same time
the paper filing is submitted, and that
the redacted version must be machinereadable whenever technically possible.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The Commission’s
rules, under 47 CFR 1.1206, require that
a public record be made of ex parte
presentations (i.e., written presentations
not served on all parties to the
proceeding or oral presentations as to
which all parties have not been given
notice and an opportunity to be present)
to decision-making personnel in
‘‘permit-but-disclose’’ proceedings, such
as notice-and-comment rulemakings and
declaratory ruling proceedings.
On February 2, 2011, the FCC released
a Report and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, GC Docket
Number 10–43, FCC 11–11, which
amended and reformed the
Commission’s rules on ex parte
presentations (47 CFR 1.1206(b)(2))
made in the course of Commission
rulemakings and other permit-butdisclose proceedings. The modifications
to the existing rules adopted in this
Report and Order require that parties
file more descriptive summaries of their
ex parte contacts, by ensuring that other
parties and the public have an adequate
opportunity to review and respond to
information submitted ex parte, and by
improving the FCC’s oversight and
enforcement of the ex parte rules. The
modified ex parte rules which contain
information collection requirements
which OMB approved on December 6,
2011, are as follows: (1) Ex parte notices
will be required for all oral ex parte
presentations in permit-but-disclose
proceedings, not just for those
presentations that involve new
information or arguments not already in
the record; (2) If an oral ex parte
presentation is limited to material
already in the written record, the notice
must contain either a succinct summary
of the matters discussed or a citation to
the page or paragraph number in the
party’s written submission(s) where the
matters discussed can be found; (3)
Notices for all ex parte presentations
must include the name of the person(s)
who made the ex parte presentation as
well as a list of all persons attending or
otherwise participating in the meeting at
