the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 5,160 hours.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit or disclose
confidential information. However, in
certain circumstances, respondents may
voluntarily choose to submit
confidential information pursuant to
applicable confidentiality rules.
Needs and Uses: In the Order on
Remand, the Commission imposed
unbundling obligations in a more
targeted manner where requesting
carriers have undertaken their own
facilities-based investments and will be
using UNEs (unbundled network
elements) in conjunction with selfprovisioned facilities. The Commission
also eliminated the subdelegation of
authority to state commissions adopted
in the previous order. Prior to the
issuance of the Order, the Commission
sought comment on issues relating to
combinations of UNEs, called
‘‘enhanced extended links’’ (EELs), in
order to effectively tailor access to EELs
to those carriers seeking to provide
significant local usage to end users. In
the Order, the Commission adopted
three specific service eligibility criteria
for access to EELs in accordance with
Commission rules.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

for confidential data from the public
through the Research Data Center (RDC)
Proposal for Access to Confidential
Data. This is a request for approval from
OMB to collect information via the RDC
proposal over the next three years.
As part of a comprehensive data
dissemination program, the Research
Data Center (RDC), National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
requires prospective researchers who
need access to confidential data to

adjudication on whether the proposed
research is possible.
To capture the information needed to
adjudicate researchers’ need for access
to confidential NCHS data, CDC
requests OMB approval for a total
estimated annual burden total of 330
hours (990 hours for a three-year
clearance period). The resulting
information will be for NCHS internal
use. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to complete the
proposal.

complete a research proposal.
Researchers self-select whether they
need access to confidential data to
answer their research questions. The
RDC requires the researcher to complete
a research proposal so NCHS
understands the research proposed,
whether confidential data are available
to address the research questions, how
the confidential data will be used, and
what data outputs the researcher needs
to satisfy their project. The completed
proposal is sent to NCHS for

providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines
which have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a final rule, advice on
methods of dose reconstruction which
have also been promulgated by HHS as
a final rule, advice on the scientific
validity and quality of dose estimation
and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the
compensation program, and advice on
petitions to add classes of workers to the
Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). In
December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Advisory Board to HHS,
which subsequently delegated this
authority to the CDC. NIOSH
implements this responsibility for CDC.
The Advisory Board’s charter was
issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at
appropriate intervals, rechartered on
March 22, 2020, and will terminate on
March 22, 2022.
Purpose: The Advisory Board is
charged with (a) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the development of
guidelines under Executive Order
13179; (b) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the scientific
validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary
on whether there is a class of employees
at any Department of Energy facility
who were exposed to radiation but for
whom it is not feasible to estimate their
radiation dose, and on whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such
radiation doses may have endangered
the health of members of this class.
