severe and often damaging dermal or
ocular contact. Paraquat is known to be
corrosive to skin and eyes. EPA recently
reviewed all available incident
information and determined that
mitigation measures to address these
human health risk concerns are
necessary. EPA has had some
discussions with the paraquat technical
registrants that suggest that the
mitigation measures could be adopted
voluntarily by pesticide manufacturers.
The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes earlier documents
related to the registration review of the
case along with supporting materials for
this proposed interim mitigation
decision. Following public comment,
the Agency will issue a final interim
mitigation decision for products
containing paraquat. Notwithstanding
this action, paraquat is still undergoing
registration review. Within the next
several years, EPA anticipates
conducting comprehensive draft human
health and ecological risk assessments
for paraquat, followed by a proposed
registration review decision, all of
which will be posted for public
comment.
The registration review program is
being conducted under congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA
recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public.
Section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
(7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) required EPA to
establish by regulation procedures for
reviewing pesticide registrations,
originally with a goal of reviewing each
pesticide’s registration every 15 years to
ensure that a pesticide continues to
meet the FIFRA standard for
registration. The Agency’s final rule to
implement this program was issued in
August 2006 and became effective in
October 2006, and appears at 40 CFR
part 155, subpart C. The Pesticide
Registration Improvement Act of 2003
(PRIA) was amended and extended in
September 2007. FIFRA, as amended by
PRIA in 2007, requires EPA to complete
registration review decisions by October
1, 2022, for all pesticides registered as
of October 1, 2007.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed registration review decisions.
This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input
and a mechanism for initiating any
necessary amendments to the proposed
interim mitigation decision. All
comments should be submitted using
the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing
date. These comments will become part
VerDate Sep<11>2014

of the docket for paraquat. Comments
received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and will provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The final interim mitigation
decision will explain the effect that any
comments had on the final decision and
provide the Agency’s response to
significant comments.

form that is used for market-based and
site-based licensing for wireless
telecommunications services, including
public safety licenses, which are filed
through the Commission’s Universal
Licensing System (ULS). FCC Form 601
is composed of a main form that
contains administrative information and
a series of schedules used for filing
technical and other information. This
form is used to apply for a new license,
to amend or withdraw a pending
application, to modify or renew an
existing license, cancel a license,
request a duplicate license, submit
required notifications, request an
extension of time to satisfy construction
requirements, or request an
administrative update to an existing
license (such as mailing address
change), request a Special Temporary
Authority or Developmental License.
Respondents are encouraged to submit
FCC Form 601 electronically and are
required to do so when submitting FCC
Form 601 to apply for an authorization
for which the applicant was the winning
bidder in a spectrum auction.
The data collected on FCC Form 601
includes the FCC Registration Number
(FRN), which serves as a ‘‘common
link’’ for all filings an entity has with
the FCC. The Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996 requires
entities filing with the Commission use
an FRN.
On July 20, 2015, the Commission
released the Part 1 R&O in which it
updated many of its Part 1 competitive
bidding rules (See Updating Part 1
Competitive Bidding Rules; Expanding
the Economic and Innovation
Opportunities of Spectrum Through
Incentive Auctions; Petition of DIRECTV

Expedited Rulemaking to Amend

Erratum, 30 FCC Rcd 8518 (2015) (Part

collection at issue here, the
Commission: (1) Implemented a new
general prohibition on the filing of
auction applications by entities
controlled by the same individual or set
of individuals (but with a limited
exception for qualifying rural wireless
partnerships); (2) modified the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

eligibility requirements for small
business benefits, and updated the
standardized schedule of small business
sizes, including the gross revenues
thresholds used to determine eligibility;
(3) established a new bidding credit for
eligible rural service providers; (4)
adopted targeted attribution rules to
prevent the unjust enrichment of
ineligible entities; and (5) adopted rules
prohibiting joint bidding arrangements
with limited exceptions. The updated
Part 1 rules apply to applicants seeking
licenses and permits.
Additionally, on June 2, 2014 the
Commission released the Mobile
Spectrum Holdings R&O, in which the
Commission updated its spectrum
screen and established rules for its
upcoming auctions of low-band
spectrum. Of relevance to the
information collection at issue here, the
Commission stated that it could reserve
spectrum in order to ensure against
excessive concentration in holdings of
below-1–GHz spectrum (In the Matter of
Policies Regarding Mobile Spectrum
Holdings, Expanding the Economic and
Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum
Through Incentive Auctions, FCC 14–63,

The Commission seeks approval for
revisions to its previously approved
collection of information under OMB
Control Number 3060–0798 to permit
the collection of the additional
information for Commission licenses
and permits, pursuant to the rules and
information collection requirements
adopted by the Commission in the Part
1 R&O and the Mobile Spectrum
Holdings R&O. As part of the collection,
the Commission is seeking approval for
the information collection and
recordkeeping requirements associated
with 47 CFR 1.2210(j), 1.2112(b)(2)(iii),
1.2112(b)(2)(v), 1.2112(b)(2)(vii), and
1.2112(b)(2)(viii). Also, in certain
circumstances, the Commission requires
the applicant to provide copies of their
agreements and/or submit exhibits.
In addition, the Commission seeks
approval for various other, nonsubstantive editorial/consistency edits
and updates to FCC Form 601 that
correct inconsistent capitalization of

words and other typographical errors,
and better align the text on the form
with the text in the Commission rules
both generally and in connection with
recent non-substantive, organizational
amendments to the Commission’s rules.
The Commission therefore seeks
approval for a revision to its currently
approved information collection on FCC
Form 601 to revise FCC Form 601
accordingly.
