II. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
EPA is conducting its registration
review of the chemicals listed in the
table 1 of unit I pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C.
136a(g)) and the Procedural Regulations
for Registration Review at 40 CFR part
155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g)
provides, among other things, that
pesticide registrations are to be
reviewed every 15 years. Consistent
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final
registration review decision, EPA will
ultimately determine whether a
pesticide continues to meet the
registration standard in FIFRA section
3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). As part of
the registration review process, the
Agency has completed a proposed
interim or proposed decision for each of
the pesticides listed in Table 1 of Unit
I.
The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes documents related to
the registration review case. Among

interim and proposed registration
review decisions are supported by the
rationales included in those documents.
Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a),
EPA provides for at least a 60-day
public comment period on proposed
interim and 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 decision.

IV. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
In submitting a comment to EPA,
please consider the following:
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through

as CBI and then identify electronically
within the disk or CD–ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In
addition to one complete version of the
comment that includes information
claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment
that does not contain the information

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
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 of the docket for the
pesticides included in Table 1 in Unit
I. The Agency will consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may respond to comments in a
‘‘Response to Comments Memorandum’’
in the docket and/or in any subsequent
interim or final registration review
decision, as appropriate.

Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
the Commission) invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before July 1, 2024.
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 PRA@
fcc.gov and to nicole.ongele@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Nicole
Ongele, (202) 418–2991.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid 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 Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number.

Estimated Time per Response: 1–18
hours (average).
Frequency of Response: One-time
reporting requirement, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 301,
302a, 303, 309(j), 312, 403, 503, and the

Conformity (SDOC) procedure were
revised in a Report and Order, FCC 22–
84 (88 FR 7592, February 6, 2023).
Revisions to the information collection
included amendments to rule sections
2.906 and 2.909 as reported herein,
therefore, the eligibility restrictions
resulted in fewer applicants but the
continued growth in participation in the

applicants which supports program
changes and adjustments.

Conformity
(a) Supplier’s Declaration of
Conformity (SDoC) is a procedure where
the responsible party, as defined in
§ 2.909, makes measurements or
completes other procedures found
acceptable to the Commission to ensure
that the equipment complies with the
appropriate technical standards and
other applicable requirements.
Submittal to the Commission of a
sample unit or representative data
demonstrating compliance is not
required unless specifically requested
pursuant to § 2.945.
(b) Supplier’s Declaration of
Conformity is applicable to all items
subsequently marketed by the
manufacturer, importer, or the
responsible party that are identical, as
defined in § 2.908, to the sample tested
and found acceptable by the
manufacturer.
(c) The responsible party may, if it
desires, apply for Certification of a
device subject to the Supplier’s
Declaration of Conformity. In such
cases, all rules governing certification
will apply to that device.
(d) Notwithstanding other parts of this
section, equipment otherwise subject to
