Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices
submitted in time to arrive no later than
September 20, 2016. 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 EPA SAB Staff Office will
acknowledge receipt of nominations.
The names and biosketches of qualified
nominees identified by respondents to
this Federal Register notice, and
additional experts identified by the SAB
Staff, will be posted in a List of
Candidates for the EPEC Augmented for
Review of Aquatic Life Water Quality
Criteria Methods on the SAB Web site
at https://www.epa.gov/sab (see links
under ‘‘Public Input on Membership’’ at
the bottom of the SAB home page).
Public comments on the List of
Candidates will be accepted for 21 days.
The public will be requested to provide
relevant information or other
documentation on nominees that the
SAB Staff Office should consider in
evaluating candidates.
For the EPA SAB Staff Office a
balanced review panel includes
candidates who possess the necessary
domains of knowledge, the relevant
scientific perspectives (which, among
other factors, can be influenced by work
history and affiliation), and the
collective breadth of experience to
adequately address the charge. In
forming the augmented EPEC, the SAB
Staff Office will consider public
comments on the List of Candidates,
information provided by the candidates
themselves, and background
information independently gathered by
the SAB Staff Office. Selection criteria
to be used for panel membership
include: (a) Scientific and/or technical
expertise, knowledge, and experience
(primary factors); (b) availability and
willingness to serve; (c) absence of
financial conflicts of interest; (d)
absence of an appearance of a loss of
impartiality; (e) skills working in
committees, subcommittees and
advisory panels; and, (f) for the panel as
a whole, diversity of expertise and
scientific points of view.
The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of
an absence of financial conflicts of
interest will include a review of the
‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure
Form for Environmental Protection
Agency Special Government
Employees’’ (EPA Form 3110–48). This
confidential form allows government
officials to determine whether there is a
statutory conflict between a person’s
public responsibilities (which include
membership on an EPA federal advisory
committee) and private interests and
activities, or the appearance of a loss of

impartiality, as defined by federal
regulation. The form may be viewed and

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2016 / Notices
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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before October 31,
2016. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email to PRA@
fcc.gov and to Nicole.Ongele@fcc.gov.

Responses: 1,500 respondents; 1,500

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
and annual reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 152,

Communications Act of 1934, as

Total Annual Cost: $1,365,000.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission does not anticipate
providing confidentiality of the
information submitted by local
exchange carriers. In particular, the
tariffs and related documents sent to the
Commission will be made public
through ETFS. If the respondents submit
information they believe to be
confidential, they may request
confidential treatment of such
information under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Incumbent local
exchange carriers (LECs) file their tariffs
and associated documents
electronically, using ETFS. ETFS has
improved the usefulness of tariff filings
for both filers and the public and made
the tariff filing process more open,
transparent, and efficient. On June 30,
2011, the Commission released a Report
and Order, WC Docket No. 10–141, FCC
11–92, determining that the benefits of
using ETFS for incumbent LEC tariff
filings would also be obtained if all
tariff filers filed electronically. Such
action benefits the public and carriers
by creating a central system providing
on-line access to all carrier tariffs and
related documents filed with the
Commission. As such, competitive LECs
(and other nondominant carriers) must
now file tariffs and associated
documents electronically.
