Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 167 / Friday, August 28, 2015 / Notices
Comment: The application form
should be used by all federal agencies.
Response: The current draft
application for wireless antenna
installations is being processed as a
Common Form for use by all federal
agencies. Once the Federal Register
posting process is complete, the
application will be submitted to OMB
for approval. An application for right-ofway and easements, the SF299
‘‘Application for Transportations and
Utility Systems on Federal Land,’’ is
already in existence, and its use is
required for all federal agencies. The
SF–299 was developed by the
Departments of Agriculture, Interior,
and Transportation.
Comment: Moratoria on accepting
applications are prohibited.
Response: This comment speaks not
to the application, but rather to shared
policy and procedures to be developed
by the executive landholding agencies
acting in common in support of the
application process. This comment will
be taken into consideration; however,
no change will be made to the
application in response to this
comment.
Comment: Timely responses to
applications are mandatory.
Response: It is agreed that timely
responses are important; however, the
comment speaks not to the application,
but rather to shared policy and
procedures to be developed by the
executive landholding agencies acting
in common in support of the application
process. No change will be made to the
application in response to this
comment.
Comment: Applications should be
‘‘deemed approved’’ upon passage of
time.
Response: While timely approval is a
shared goal, federal agencies must
perform the due diligence required to
confirm that implementation of a
proposal is in the best interests of the
Government and the taxpayer.
Comment: Applications should be
presumed consistent with each agency’s
mission and property use.
Response: Given the different
missions and property uses existent
among the executive landholding
agencies, it is not clear how making
such a presumption is in the best
interest of the Government and the
taxpayer.
Comment: The application form
should not implicate a Joint Spectrum
Center review for commercial providers
of unlicensed wireless services.
Response: The decision to use
unlicensed wireless services is an
internal policy decision to be developed
in concert among the executive

landholding agencies in support of the
application process. No change will be
made to the application in response to
this comment.
Comment: Applicants may opt in to
the rates, terms, and conditions of other
providers located at the federal
property.
Response: This comment speaks not
to the application, but rather to shared
policy and procedures to be developed
by the executive landholding agencies
acting in common in support of the
application process. No change will be
made to the application in response to
this comment.
Comment: The ‘‘Notice of Competitive
Procedures’’ should be posted to
FedBizOps.gov upon receipt of an
application.
Response: This comment speaks not
to the application, but rather to shared
policy and procedures to be developed
by the executive landholding agencies
acting in common in support of the
application process. No change will be
made to the application in response to
this comment.
Comment: Application forms should
be utilized to initiate amendments to
existing installations and the applicable
lease, easement, or right-of-way.
Response: This comment speaks not
to the application, but rather to shared
policy and procedures to be developed
by the executive landholding agencies
acting in common in support of the
application process. No change will be
made to the application in response to
this comment.
Comment: Executive agencies may
utilize easements or leases with 25-year
terms for wireless siting requests.
Response: This comment speaks not
to the application, but rather to shared
policy and procedures to be developed
by the executive landholding agencies
acting in common in support of the
application process. No change will be

the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing

Proposed Project
Epidemiologic Study of Health Effects
Associated With Low Pressure Events in
Drinking Water Distribution Systems
(OMB Control Number 0920–0960,
Expiration 3/31/2016)—Extension—
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In the United States (U.S.), drinking
water distribution systems are designed
to deliver safe, pressurized drinking
water to our homes, hospitals, schools
and businesses. However, the water
distribution infrastructure is 50–100
years old in much of the U.S. and an
estimated 240,000 water main breaks
occur each year. Failures in the
distribution system such as water main
breaks, cross-connections, back-flow,
and pressure fluctuations can result in
potential intrusion of microbes and
other contaminants that can cause
health effects, including acute
gastrointestinal and respiratory illness.
Approximately 200 million cases of
acute gastrointestinal illness occur in
the U.S. each year, but we lack reliable
data to assess how many of these cases
are associated with drinking water.
Further, data are even more limited on
the human health risks associated with
exposure to drinking water during and
after the occurrence of low pressure
events (such as water main breaks) in
drinking water distribution systems. A
study conducted in Norway from 2003–
2004 found that people exposed to low
pressure events in the water distribution
system had a higher risk for
gastrointestinal illness. A similar study
is needed in the United States.
The purpose of this data collection is
to conduct an epidemiologic study in

PO 00000

Frm 00044

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

the U.S. to assess whether individuals
exposed to low pressure events in the
water distribution system are at an
increased risk for acute gastrointestinal
or respiratory illness. This study would
be, to our knowledge, the first U.S.
study to systematically examine the
association between low pressure events
and acute gastrointestinal and
respiratory illnesses. Study findings will
inform the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), CDC, and other drinking
water stakeholders of the potential
health risks associated with low
pressure events in drinking water
distribution systems and whether
additional measures (e.g., new
standards, additional research, or policy
development) are needed to reduce the
risk for health effects associated with
low pressure events in the drinking
water distribution system.
We will conduct a cohort study
among households that receive water
from six water utilities across the U.S.
The water systems will be
geographically diverse and will include
both chlorinated and chloraminated
systems. These water utilities will
provide information about low pressure
events that occur during the study
period using a standardized form
(approximately 11 events per utility).
Utilities will provide address listings of
households in areas exposed to the low
pressure event and comparable
households in an unexposed area to
CDC staff, who will randomly select
participants and send them an
introductory letter and questionnaire.
Consenting household respondents will
be asked about symptoms and duration
of any recent gastrointestinal or
respiratory illness, tap water
consumption, and other exposures
including international travel, daycare
attendance or employment, animal
contacts, and recreational water
exposures. Study participants may
choose between two methods of survey
response: A mail-in paper survey and a
web-based survey.
Participation in this study will be
voluntary. No financial compensation
will be provided to study participants.
The study duration is anticipated to last
30 months. An estimated 6,750
individuals will be contacted and we
anticipate 4,050 utility customers (18
years of age or older) will consent to
participate in this study. The total
estimated annualized hours associated
with this study is expected to be 548.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
