D. Will ad hoc reviewers be subjected to an ethics review? SACC members and ad hoc reviewers are subject to the provisions of the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch at 5 CFR part 2635, conflict of interest statutes in Title 18 of the United States Code and related regulations. In anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for service on the SACC will be asked to submit confidential financial information which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate’s employment, stocks, and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. EPA will evaluate the candidates’ financial disclosure forms to assess whether there are financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a loss of impartiality, or any prior involvement VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:09 Dec 02, 2024 Jkt 265001 95785 with the development of the documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the candidate is considered further for service on the SACC. Selected candidates are required to complete an ethics training prior to conducting their reviews. Dated: November 26, 2024. Michal Freedhoff, Assistant Administrator, Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. E. How will EPA select the ad hoc reviewers? FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION The selection of scientists to serve as ad hoc reviewers for the SACC is based on the function of the Committee and the expertise needed to address the Agency’s charge to the Committee. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to a federal department or agency or their employment by a federal department or agency, except EPA. Other factors considered during the selection process include availability of the prospective candidate to fully participate in the Committee’s reviews, ability to be hired as an EPA Special Government Employee (SGE), absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of loss of impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Although financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of loss of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in non-selection, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on the SACC. Numerous qualified candidates are often identified for SACC reviews. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing several factors including the candidates’ areas of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives across reviewers. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for service as ad hoc reviewers for the SACC that are received by the deadline listed under DATES. However, the final selection of ad hoc reviewers is a discretionary function of the Agency. EPA anticipates selecting approximately ten (10) ad hoc reviewers to assist the SACC in their review of the designated topic. EPA plans to make a list of candidates under consideration as prospective ad hoc reviewers for this review available for public comment by the winter of 2025. The list will be available in the docket at https:// www.regulations.gov (docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT–2024–0551) and through the SACC website at https:// www.epa.gov/tsca-peer-review.

In addition, carriers handling pay-per-call services must establish a toll-free number that consumers may call to receive information about payper-call services. Finally, the Commission requires carriers to provide statements of pay-per-call rights and responsibilities to new telephone subscribers at the time service is established and, although not required by statute, to all subscribers annually. Under 47 CFR 64.1510 of the Commission’s rules, telephone bills containing charges for interstate payper-call and other information services must include information detailing consumers’ rights and responsibilities with respect to these charges. Specifically, telephone bills carrying pay-per-call charges must include a consumer notification stating that: (1) the charges are for non-communication services; (2) local and long distance telephone services may not be disconnected for failure to pay per-call charges; (3) pay-per-call (900 number) blocking is available upon request; and (4) access to pay-per-call services may be involuntarily blocked for failure to pay per-call charges. In addition, each call billed must show the type of services, the amount of the charge, and the date, time, and duration of the call. Finally, the bill must display a toll-free number which subscribers may call to obtain information about pay-per-call services.

    Total Annual Burden: 47,750 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Needs and Uses: Regulations at 47 CFR 64.1504 of the Commission's 
rules incorporate the requirements of sections 228(c)(7)-(10) of the 
Communications Act restricting the manner in which toll-free numbers 
may be used to charge telephone subscribers for information services. 
Common carriers may not charge a calling party for information conveyed 
on a toll-free number call, unless the calling party: (1) has executed 
a written agreement that specifies the material terms and conditions 
under which the information is provided, or (2) pays for the 
information by means of a prepaid account, credit, debit, charge, or 
calling card and the information service provider gives the calling 
party an introductory message disclosing the cost and other terms and 
conditions for the service. The disclosure requirements are intended to 
ensure that consumers know when charges will be levied for calls to 
toll-free numbers and are able to obtain information necessary to make 
informed choices about whether to purchase toll-free information 
services. Regulations at 47 CFR 64.1509 of the Commission rules 
incorporate the requirements of 47 U.S.C. (c)(2) and 228 (d)(2)-(3) of 
the Communications Act. Common carriers that assign telephone numbers 
to pay-per-call services must disclose to all interested parties, upon 
request, a list of all assigned pay-per-call numbers. For each assigned 
number, carriers must also make available: (1) a description of the 
pay-per-call services; (2) the total cost per minute or other fees 
associated with the service; and (3) the service provider's name, 
business address, and telephone number. In addition, carriers handling 
pay-per-call services must establish a toll-free number that consumers 
may call to receive information about pay-per-call services. Finally, 
the Commission requires carriers to provide statements of pay-per-call 
rights and responsibilities to new telephone subscribers at the time 
service is established and, although not required by statute, to all 
subscribers annually.
    Under 47 CFR 64.1510 of the Commission's rules, telephone bills 
containing charges for interstate pay-per-call and other information 
services must include information detailing consumers' rights and 
responsibilities with respect to these charges. Specifically, telephone 
bills carrying pay-per-call charges must include a consumer 
notification stating that: (1) the charges are for non-communication 
services; (2) local and long distance telephone services may not be 
disconnected for failure to pay per-call charges; (3) pay-per-call (900 
number) blocking is available upon request; and (4) access to pay-per-
call services may be involuntarily blocked for failure to pay per-call 
charges. In addition, each call billed must show the type of services, 
the amount of the charge, and the date, time, and duration of the call. 
Finally, the bill must display a toll-free number which subscribers may 
call to obtain information about pay-per-call services. Similar billing 
disclosure requirements apply to charges for information services 
either billed to subscribers on a collect basis or accessed by 
subscribers through a toll-free number. The billing disclosure 
requirements are intended to ensure that telephone subscribers billed 
for pay-per-call or other information services can understand the 
charges levied and are informed of their rights and responsibilities 
with respect to payment of such charges.
