public harm is reasonably likely to
result if current clearance procedures
are followed.
This requirement supports
implementation of Section 889 of the
John S. McCain National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019
(Pub. L. 115–232) under lease
acquisitions. This section prohibits
agencies from procuring, obtaining,
extending or renewing a contract with
contractors that will provide or use
covered telecommunication equipment
or services as a substantial or essential
component of any system, or as a
critical technology as part of any system
on or after August 13, 2020 unless an
exception applies.
This requirement is implemented in
the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) through the provision at FAR
52.204–24, Representation Regarding
Certain Telecommunications and Video
Surveillance Services or Equipment and
the clause at FAR 52.204–25,
Prohibition on Contracting for Certain
Telecommunications and Video
Surveillance Services or Equipment.
GSA’s Class Deviation CD–2020–15
extends these requirements to lease
acquisitions.
This clearance covers the following
requirements:
• FAR 52.204–24 requires an offer or
to represent whether they will provide
or whether they will use any covered
telecommunications equipment or
services and if so, describe in more
detail the use of the covered
telecommunications equipment or
services; and
• FAR 52.204–25 requires contractors
to report covered telecommunications
equipment, systems and services
identified during performance of a
contract.
GSA requested approval of this
information collection in order to
implement the law. The information
will be used by agency personnel to
identify and remove prohibited
equipment, systems, or services from
Government use. Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ATSDR
has updated the draft profile based on
availability of new health effects
information since its initial release. On
March 21, 2016 ATSDR announced that
it was preparing to develop Draft
Toxicological Profiles for public
comment release (81 FR 15110), which
include Ethylene Oxide. All
toxicological profiles issued as ‘‘Drafts
for Public Comment’’ represent the
result of ATSDR’s evidence-based
evaluations to provide important
toxicological information on priority
hazardous substances. ATSDR is
seeking public comments and additional
information or reports on studies about
the health effects of ethylene oxide for
review and potential inclusion in the
profile. ATSDR considers key studies
for these substances during the profile
development process. This document
solicits any relevant, additional studies.
ATSDR will evaluate the quality and
relevance of such data or studies for
possible inclusion in the profile.
The Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR), within the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
announces the opening of a docket to
obtain comments on the Draft
Toxicological Profile for Ethylene
Oxide.
Public Participation
Interested persons or organizations
are invited to participate by submitting
written views, information, and data.
Please note that comments received,
including attachments and other
supporting materials, are part of the
public record and are subject to public
Respondents: 313.
Responses per Respondent: 5.
Total Responses: 1,565.
Hours per Response: 3.
Total Burden Hours: 4,695.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary; whether it will
have practical utility; whether our
estimate of the public burden of this
collection of information is accurate,
and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in
which we can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, through the use of
appropriate technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.

Legislative Background
The Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) [42
U.S.C. 9601 et seq.] amended the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) [42
U.S.C. 9601 et seq.] by establishing
certain requirements for ATSDR and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regarding the hazardous
substances most commonly found at
facilities on the CERCLA National
Priorities List (NPL). Among these
statutory requirements is a mandate for
the Administrator of ATSDR to prepare
toxicological profiles for each substance
included on the priority list of
hazardous substances [also called the
Substance Priority List (SPL)]. This list
identifies 275 hazardous substances that
ATSDR and EPA have determined pose
the most significant potential threat to
human health. The SPL is available
online at www.atsdr.cdc.gov/spl.
In addition, CERCLA provides ATSDR
with the authority to prepare
toxicological profiles for substances not
found on the SPL. CERCLA authorizes
ATSDR to establish and maintain an
inventory of literature, research, and
studies on the health effects of toxic
substances (CERCLA Section
104(i)(1)(B); 42 U.S.C. 9604(i)(1)(B)); to
respond to requests for health
consultations (CERCLA Section
104(i)(4); 42 U.S.C. 9604(i)(4)); and to
support the site-specific response
actions conducted by the agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520),
Federal agencies must obtain approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In
addition, the PRA also requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each new proposed
collection, each proposed extension of
existing collection of information, and
each reinstatement of previously
approved information collection before
submitting the collection to the OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, we are publishing this
notice of a proposed data collection as
described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
