based alternatives to ocean dumping;
and the adverse effects of the dumping
on other uses of the ocean. The Ocean
Dumping Criteria are codified in 40 CFR
parts 227–228. To meet U.S. reporting
obligation under the London
Convention, EPA also reports some of
this information in the annual United
States Ocean Dumping Report.
EPA uses ocean dumping information
to make decisions regarding whether to
issue or deny a permit. This information
is also used to develop the conditions in
ocean dumping permits issued by EPA
in order to ensure consistency with the
Ocean Dumping Criteria. EPA uses
monitoring and reporting data from
permittees to assess compliance with
ocean dumping permits, including
associated monitoring activities.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondents/affected entities may
include any private person or entity, or
State, local or foreign governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit,
specifically permit authorization and/or
compliance with permits required under
MPRSA sections 102 and 104, 33 U.S.C.
1402 & 1404, and implementing
regulations at 40 CFR parts 220–229.
Estimated number of respondents:
2,767 respondents per year.
Frequency of response: The frequency
of response varies for application and
reporting requirements for different
permits. Other than the general permit
for transportation and disposal of
vessels, response is required once for
each permit application, whether a
single notification to EPA or a permit
application. Depending on the type of
MPRSA permit, a permit application
would be required prior to expiration if
the permittee seeks re-issuance: General
permit (once every seven years); special
permit (once every three years), and
research permit (once every 18 months).
Total estimated burden: The public
reporting and recordkeeping burdens for
this collection of information are
estimated to be 3,207 hours per year.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: Annual labor
costs are estimated to be $153,300 and
$195,857 for capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: EPA estimates
an increase in the number of
respondents from 21 to 2,767 with a
corresponding decrease in total
estimated burden from 27,004 to 3,207
hours as compared to the most recently
approved ICR, which expired January
31, 1992. The estimated increase in the
number of respondents is due to the
significant increase in the number of
entities using the burial at sea and

vessel general permits, which were not
widely used at the time of the earlier
ICR. The estimated decrease in the total
estimated burden is due to the
implementation of the Ocean Dumping
Ban Act of 1988, which led to the
cessation of the dumping of sewage
sludge and industrial wastes. The
respondent burden for these special
permits was high due the potentially
significant impacts from dumping these
wastes, and the data required from the
respondents to ensure permit
compliance.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 5,357 respondents; 573,767
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5–8
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirements; recordkeeping;
third party disclosure.
Total Annual Burden: 575,840 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority is contained in 47 U.S.C. 222
and 251.
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.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: Section 251 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 251, is designed to
accelerate private sector development
and deployment of telecommunications
technologies and services by spurring
competition. Section 222(e) is also
designed to spur competition by
prescribing requirements for the sharing
of subscriber list information. These
OMB collections are designed to help
implement certain provisions of
sections 222(e) and 251, and to
eliminate operational barriers to
competition in the telecommunications
services market. Specifically, these
OMB collections will be used to
implement (1) local exchange carriers’
(‘‘LECs’’) obligations to provide their
competitors with dialing parity and
non-discriminatory access to certain
services and functionalities; (2)
incumbent local exchange carriers’
(‘‘ILECs’’) duty to make network
information disclosures; and (3)
numbering administration. The
Commission estimates that the total
annual burden of the entire collection,
as revised, is 575,840 hours. This
revision relates to a change in one of
many components of the currently
approved collection—specifically,
certain reporting, recordkeeping and/or
third party disclosure requirements
under section 251(c)(5). In August 2015,
the Commission adopted new rules
concerning certain information
collection requirements implemented
under section 251(c)(5) of the Act,
pertaining to network change
disclosures. The changes to those rules
apply specifically to a certain subset of
network change disclosures, namely
