From June 2000 to August 2004, the Commission adopted various PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60425 rulemakings in which a winning bidder seeking a bidding credit to serve a qualifying Tribal land within a particular market must: • Indicate on the long-form application (FCC Form 601) that it intends to serve a qualifying Tribal land within that market; • Within 180 days after the filing deadline for the long-form application, amend its long-form application to identify the Tribal land it intends to serve and attach a certification from the Tribal government stating that: (a) The Tribal government authorizes the winning bidder to site facilities and provide service on its Tribal land; (b) The Tribal area to be served by the winning bidder constitutes qualifying Tribal land; (c) The Tribal government has not and will not enter into an exclusive contract with the applicant precluding entry by other carriers, and will not unreasonably discriminate among wireless carriers seeking to provide service on the qualifying Tribal land; and (d) Provide certification of the telephone penetration rates demonstrating that the Tribal land has a penetration level at or below 85 percent. The rulemakings also require what each winning bidder must do. In addition, it also requires that a winning bidder seeking a credit in excess of the amount calculated under the Commission’s bidding credit must submit certain information; and a final winning bidder receiving a higher credit must provide within 15 days of the third anniversary of the initial grant of its license, file a certification that the credit amount was spent on infrastructure to provide wireless coverage to qualifying Tribal lands, which also includes a final report prepared by an independent auditor verifying that the infrastructure costs are reasonable to comply with our build-out requirements.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), announces the opportunity for respirator manufacturers, NIOSH approval holders, and beard band manufacturers to participate, through a collaborative agreement, in a project titled ‘‘Fit Testing of Respirators on Those Wearing Beard Bands’’ to determine how well respirators provide protection to workers with facial hair when using a beard band. DATES: Interested parties must submit a letter of intent, electronically or written, by September 23, 2024. ADDRESSES: Submit your letter of intent to Jonisha Pollard, NIOSH National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, 626 Cochrans Mill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236 or by email to JNI3@cdc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonisha Pollard, NIOSH National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory, 626 Cochrans Mill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, 412–386–5220 (not a toll-free number), JNI3@cdc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additional Information: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is seeking to identify respirator manufacturers, NIOSH approval holders, and beard band manufacturers who are interested in collaborating with NIOSH to conduct fit testing of NIOSH Approved® filtering facepiece respirators and particulateonly elastomeric half mask respirators for users having facial hair and using an elastic band (beard band) to secure their facial hair and provide a clean, smooth sealing surface for their respirator as part of their personal protective equipment (PPE). This research endeavor grew from the need to advance equal access to employment and support worker populations with facial hair who need SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 respiratory protection. Individual fit testing of tight-fitting respirators is a component of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respiratory protection programs in workplaces to better ensure that the respirator selected and worn can achieve the expected fit factor (provide the expected level of protection). The OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134(g)(1)(i)(A)) prohibits employees from wearing respirators with tight-fitting facepieces if there is any hair growth between the skin and facepiece sealing surface. Fit testing is not possible without a tight seal of the respirator to the face. Per the OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard, an OSHA-compliant fit test determines the level of tightness for this class of respirators to achieve a fit factor of 100 which is 10 times the assigned protection factor (APF) for this class of respirator (i.e., APF of half facepiece respirator is 10). Organizations, interest groups, and entities representing workers with facial hair who cannot shave because of religious, cultural, medical, or other reasons approached NIOSH to conduct research on fit effectiveness of the respiratory protective device when a beard band is used to improve the seal of the respirator with the wearer’s face. This project aims to determine the fit of respirators when worn over beard bands for workers with facial hair using a government–private partnership development model. This study may help increase respiratory protective devices available to this population of wearers and advance national interests by expanding respirator use to workers with beards. This includes workers in vital fields such as healthcare and public safety. Collaborative efforts may be made via a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) under the authority of the Federal Technology Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C. 3710a, or another appropriate agreement. No Federal funds will be provided to partners whose equipment is utilized under this project. NIOSH may select one or more partnering candidates using the following criteria: 1. For partners interested in products, materials, or textiles to be used as a beard band, the product/material/textile should have the ability to: a. Be secured at the top of the head (e.g., tied or hook-and-loop fasteners; b. Lay taut and flat across the skin without wrinkles; c. Be cut (lengthwise and widthwise) and tailored to fit various facial geometries; and E:\FR\FM\25JYN1.SGM 25JYN1
