Additionally, the CAA has its own limits on production and consumption of controlled substances that EPA must adhere to and enforce. To ensure the United States’ compliance with the limits and restrictions established by the Protocol and the CAA, the ODS phaseout regulations establish control measures for individual companies. EPA monitors compliance with the limits and restrictions for individual United States companies through the recordkeeping and reporting requirements established in the regulations at 40 CFR part 82, subpart A. To submit required information, regulated entities can download reporting forms, complete them, and then send them to EPA via mail, fax, or electronically. Upon receipt of the reports, EPA enters and stores the data in the ODS Tracking System. The Tracking System is a secure database that maintains all of the data that is submitted to EPA and allows the Agency to: (1) Track over total production and consumption of controlled substances to satisfy conditions of the CAA and fulfill the United States obligations under the Protocol; (2) monitor compliance with limits and restrictions on production, imports, exports, and specific exemptions to the phaseout for individual U.S. companies; and (3) enforce against illegal imports and violations related to the control of Class I and Class II substances. Additionally, reporting on the exemptions allows an entity to retain the benefit of being able to produce or import a controlled Class I ODS beyond the date of complete phaseout. Pursuant to regulations 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, reporting businesses are entitled to assert a business confidentiality claim covering any part of the submitted business information as defined in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: We note that USAC must 
preserve the confidentiality of all data obtained from respondents; 
must not use the data except for purposes of administering the 
universal service programs; and must not disclose data in company-
specific form unless directed to do so by the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: On November 18, 2011, the Commission released an 
order reforming its high-cost universal service support mechanisms.

Comp. Bur. 2013). The Commission has received OMB approval for most of 
the information collections required by these orders. At a later date 
the Commission plans to submit additional revisions for OMB review to 
address other reforms adopted in the orders (e.g., 47 CFR 
54.313(a)(11)). The revision proposed here contains information 
collection requirements already reviewed and approved by OMB. 
Specifically, the Commission proposes to merge the existing universal 
service information collection requirements from OMB Control No. 3060-
1188 into this control number. The Commission proposes to add FCC Form 
505, currently approved under collection 3060-1188, to this information 
collection. There are no changes to the currently approved FCC Form 
505. The Commission also proposes certain changes to FCC Form 481 and

requirements contained in 3060-0986 and 3060-1188. These changes 
include revising FCC Form 481 and its instructions to incorporate the 
certifications and census block data collection requirements for 
certain recipients of Connect America Phase I incremental support that 
are currently approved under collection 3060-1188. The Commission also 
proposes to reduce the number of respondents for reporting and 
certification requirements related to Connect America Phase I 
incremental support to reflect the number of price cap carriers that 
actually accepted such support. Once the Commission receives OMB 
approval to merge the requirements contained in 3060-1188 under this 
control number, the Commission will discontinue 3060-1188.
