AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR),
‘‘Drug Testing for Contractor Employees
(Renewal)’’ (EPA ICR No. 2183.08, OMB
Control No. 2030–0044) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before
doing so, EPA is soliciting public
comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as
described below. This is a proposed
extension of the ICR, which is currently
approved through September 30, 2021.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor
and a person is not required to respond
to a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before May 7, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OARM–2018–0065 online using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), EPA
is soliciting comments and information
to enable it to: (i) 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; (ii) 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;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) 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 submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: This ICR applies to a
contractor who performs response
services at sensitive sites with serious
security concerns where the Agency and
public interest would best be protected
through drug testing of contractor
employees. It requires the contractor to
test employees for the use of marijuana,
cocaine, opiates, amphetamines,
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

phencyclidine (PCP), and any other
controlled substances. Only contractor
employees who have been tested within
the previous 90 calendar days and have
passing drug test results may be directly
engaged in on-site response work and/
or on-site related activities at designated
sites with significant security concerns.
The Agency may request contractors
responding to any of these types of
incidents to conduct drug testing and
apply Government-established
suitability criteria in title 5 CFR
731.104, Appointments subject to
investigation, 732.201, Sensitivity level
designations and investigative
requirements, and 736.102, Notice to
investigative sources, when determining
whether employees are acceptable to
perform on given sites or on specific
projects.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Private
contractors.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain a benefit per title 5
CFR 731.104, Appointments subject to
investigation, 732.201, Sensitivity level
designations and investigative
requirements, and 736.102, Notice to
investigative sources.
Estimated number of respondents:
500 (total).
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 1,125 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $133,010 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change in the hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB.

Needs and Uses: The information
collection requirements that are
approved under this collection are as
follows:
47 CFR 73.1212 requires a broadcast
station to identify at the time of
broadcast the sponsor of any matter for
which consideration is provided. For
advertising commercial products or
services, generally the mention of the
name of the product or service
constitutes sponsorship identification.
In the case of television political
advertisements concerning candidates
for public office, the sponsor shall be
identified with letters equal to or greater
than four (4) percent of the vertical
height of the television screen that airs
for no less than four (4) seconds. In
addition, when an entity rather than an
individual sponsors the broadcast of
matter that is of a political or
controversial nature, licensee is
required to retain a list of the executive
officers, or board of directors, or
executive committee, etc., of the
organization paying for such matter.
Sponsorship announcements are waived
with respect to the broadcast of ‘‘want
ads’’ sponsored by an individual but the
licensee shall maintain a list showing
the name, address and telephone
number of each such advertiser. These
lists shall be made available for public
inspection.
47 CFR 73.1212(e) states that, when
an entity rather than an individual
sponsors the broadcast of matter that is
of a political or controversial nature, the
licensee is required to retain a list of the
executive officers, or board of directors,
or executive committee, etc., of the
organization paying for such matter in
its public file. Pursuant to the changes
contained in 47 CFR 73.1212(e) and 47
CFR 73.3526(e)(19), this list, which
could contain personally identifiable
information, would be located in a
public inspection file to be located on
the Commission’s website instead of
being maintained in the public file at
the station. Burden estimates for this
change are included in OMB Control
Number 3060–0214.
47 CFR 76.1615 states that, when a
cable operator engaged in origination
cablecasting presents any matter for
which money, service or other valuable
consideration is provided to such cable
television system operator, the cable
television system operator, at the time of
the telecast, shall identify the sponsor.
Under this rule section, when
advertising commercial products or
services, an announcement stating the
sponsor’s corporate or trade name, or
the name of the sponsor’s product is
sufficient when it is clear that the
mention of the name of the product
E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM
08MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 43 / Monday, March 8, 2021 / Notices
constitutes a sponsorship identification.
In the case of television political
advertisements concerning candidates
for public office, the sponsor shall be
identified with letters equal to or greater
than four (4) percent of the vertical
height of the television screen that airs
for no less than four (4) seconds.
47 CFR 76.1715 state that, with
respect to sponsorship announcements
that are waived when the broadcast/
origination cablecast of ‘‘want ads’’
sponsored by an individual, the
licensee/operator shall maintain a list
showing the name, address and
telephone number of each such
advertiser. These lists shall be made
available for public inspection.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of
information.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a three-year extension of
the information collection titled ‘‘Part
73, Subpart F International Broadcast
Stations’’ under OMB Control No. 3060–
1035. This information collection is
used by the Commission to assign
frequencies for use by international
broadcast stations, to grant authority to
operate such stations and to determine
if interference or adverse propagation
conditions exist that may impact the
operation of such stations. The
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
13371
Commission collects this information
pursuant to 47 CFR part 73, subpart F.
If the Commission did not collect this
information, it would not be in a
position to effectively coordinate
spectrum for international broadcasters
or to act for entities in times of
frequency interference or adverse
propagation conditions. Therefore, the
information collection requirements are
as follows:
FCC Form 309—Application for
Authority to Construct or Make Changes
in an International, Experimental
Television, Experimental Facsimile, or a
Developmental Broadcast Station—The
FCC Form 309 is filed on occasion when
the applicant is requesting authority to
construct or make modifications to the
international broadcast station.
FCC Form 310—Application for an
International, Experimental Television,
Experimental Facsimile, or a
Developmental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 310 is filed on
occasion when the applicant is
submitting an application for a new
international broadcast station.
FCC Form 311—Application for
Renewal of an International or
Experimental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 311 is filed by
applicants who are requesting renewal
of their international broadcast station
licenses.
47 CFR 73.702(a) states that six
months prior to the start of each season,
licensees and permittees shall by
informal written request, submitted to
the Commission in triplicate, indicate
for the season the frequency or
frequencies desired for transmission to
each zone or area of reception specified
in the license or permit, the specific
hours during which it desires to
transmit to such zones or areas on each
frequency, and the power, antenna gain,
and antenna bearing it desires to use.
Requests will be honored to the extent
that interference and propagation
conditions permit and that they are
otherwise in accordance with the
provisions of section 47 CFR 73.702(a).
47 CFR 73.702(b) states that two
months before the start of each season,
the licensee or permittee must inform
the Commission in writing as to
whether it plans to operate in
accordance with the Commission’s
authorization or operate in another
manner.
47 CFR 73.702(c) permits entities to
file requests for changes to their original
request for assignment and use of
frequencies if they are able to show
good cause. Because international
broadcasters are assigned frequencies on
a seasonal basis, as opposed to the full
term of their eight-year license
