Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Notices
informs the recipient of the ability and
means to request that they not receive
future unsolicited facsimile
advertisements from the sender; (2)
Established Business Relationship
Recordkeeping whereas the Junk Fax
Prevention Act provides that the sender,
e.g., a person, business, or a nonprofit/
institution, is prohibited from faxing an
unsolicited advertisement to a facsimile
machine unless the sender has an
‘‘established business relationship’’
(EBR) with the recipient; (3) Facsimile
Number Recordkeeping in which the
Junk Fax Prevention Act provides that
an EBR alone does not entitle a sender
to fax an advertisement to an individual
or business. The fax number must also
be provided voluntarily by the recipient;
and (4) Express Invitation or Permission
Recordkeeping where in the absence of
an EBR, the sender must obtain the prior
express invitation or permission from
the consumer before sending the
facsimile advertisement.
On October 14, 2008, the Commission
released an Order on Reconsideration,
FCC 08–239, addressing certain issues
raised in petitions for reconsideration
and/or clarification filed in response to
the Commission’s Report and Order and
Third Order on Reconsideration (Junk
Fax Order), FCC 06–42. In document
FCC 08–239, the Commission clarified
that: (1) Facsimile numbers compiled by
third parties on behalf of the facsimile
sender will be presumed to have been
made voluntarily available for public
distribution so long as they are obtained
from the intended recipient’s own
directory, advertisement, or internet
site; (2) Reasonable steps to verify that
a recipient has agreed to make available
a facsimile number for public
distribution may include methods other
than direct contact with the recipient;
and (3) a description of the facsimile
sender’s opt-out mechanism on the first
web page to which recipients are
directed in the opt-out notice satisfies
the requirement that such a description
appear on the first page of the website.
The Commission believes these
clarifications will assist senders of
facsimile advertisements in complying
with the Commission’s rules in a
manner that minimizes regulatory
compliance costs while maintaining the
protections afforded consumers under
the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
(TCPA).

Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) 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 Office of
Management and Budget (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 January 13,
2025. 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
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@

audience is told how to participate in a
contest, and periodically thereafter. In
addition, stations must conduct contests
substantially as announced. These
information collection requirements are
necessary to ensure that broadcast
licensees conduct contests with due
regard for the public interest.
The Contest Rule permit broadcasters
to meet their obligation to disclose
contest material terms on an internet
website in lieu of making broadcast
announcements. Under the amended
Contest Rule, broadcasters are required
to (i) announce the relevant internet
website address on air the first time the
audience is told about the contest and
periodically thereafter; (ii) disclose the
material contest terms fully and
accurately on a publicly accessible
internet website, establishing a link or
tab to such terms through a link or tab
on the announced website’s home page,
and ensure that any material terms
disclosed on such a website conform in
all substantive respects to those

mentioned over the air; (iii) maintain

thirty days after the contest has ended;
and (v) announce on air that the
material terms of a contest have changed
(where that is the case) within 24 hours
of the change in terms on a website, and
periodically thereafter, and to direct
consumers to the website to review the
changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
SUMMARY:
A. Purpose
The Federal Hazardous Substance Act
and Hazardous Material Transportation
Act prescribe standards for packaging of
hazardous substances. To meet the
requirements of the Acts, the General
Services Administration Regulation
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Nov 12, 2024
Jkt 265001
prescribes provision 552.223–72,
Hazardous Material Information, to be
inserted in solicitations and contracts
that provides for delivery of hazardous
materials on a Free On Board (FOB)
origin basis.
This information collection will be
accomplished by means of the provision
which requires the contractor to identify
for each National Stock Number (NSN),
the DOT Shipping Name, Department of
Transportation (DOT) Hazards Class,
and whether the item requires a DOT
label. Contracting Officers and technical
personnel use the information to
monitor and ensure contract
requirements based on law and
regulation.
Properly identified and labeled items
of hazardous material allows for
appropriate handling of such items
throughout GSA’s supply chain system.
The information is used by GSA, stored
in an NSN database and provided to
GSA customers. Non-Collection and/or
a less frequently conducted collection of
the information resulting from GSAR
provision 552.223–72 would prevent the
Government from being properly
notified. Government activities may be
hindered from notifying their employees
of; (1) All hazards to which they may be
exposed; (2) Relative symptoms and
appropriate emergency treatment; and
(3) Proper conditions and precautions
for safe use and exposure.
