Govern the Use of Satellite Earth

5925–6425 MHz/3700–4200 MHz Bands
and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2 GHz
Bands,’’ IB Docket No. 02–10, FCC 04–
286. The Commission adopted the R&O
on December 15, 2004 and released it on
January 6, 2005. This rulemaking
established licensing and service rules
for ESVs operating in the 5925–6425
MHz/3700–4200 MHz Bands (C-band)
and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2 GHz
Bands (Ku-band).
The R&O includes the following new
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
reporting requirements: (1) C-Band and
Ku-Band operators (‘‘ESV operators’’)
must collect and maintain vessel
tracking data to assist the Commission
and affected operators in identifying
and resolving sources of interference; (2)
as a condition of licensing, applicants
proposing ESV operations in the 14.0–
14.05 GHz band and planning to travel
within 100km of these sites, must
coordinate through the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) Interdepartment
Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) and,
if necessary, the appropriate
government agency to resolve any
potential concerns; and (3) ESV
operators must have a contact that is
available in the United States 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week, to respond to
Fixed Satellite (FS) operators’ requests.
The name, telephone number, and other
pertinent information of the contact will
be posted on the Commission’s Web
site, https://www.fcc.gov.
The Commission established licensing
and service rules to govern ESV
operations and to prevent interference
to other satellite operators within the
Ku-bands and C-bands. ESV operators
must submit applications (FCC Form
312) and exhibits (Schedule B) to the
Commission to demonstrate that they
comply with the Commission’s legal
and/or engineering rules. Additionally,
the Commission requires a myriad of
technical information such as frequency
of operation, maximum transmit power,
antenna diameter, antenna height above
sea level and velocity of the vessel to
evaluate potential interference to fixed
satellites from ESVs. The purposes of
this information collection are as
follows: (1) Establish licensing and
service rules for ESVs in the Ku-band
and C-band; (2) prevent harmful
interference to Fixed Services (FS),
Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and other
satellite services and (3) further the
Commission’s goals to manage spectrum
efficiently and (4) advance the provision
of broadband telecommunications
services that will benefit U.S. citizens
on passenger, government (military and
civilian), cargo and large recreational
vessels. Without such information, the

Commission would not be able to take
the necessary measures to prevent
harmful interference to satellite services
from ESVs. Finally, the Commission
would not be able to advance its goals
of managing spectrum efficiently and
promoting broadband technologies to
benefit American consumers throughout
the United States and abroad.

Title: Part 68--Connection of Terminal Equipment to the Telephone
Network.
Form No: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 58,520 respondents; 70,450 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: .05--24 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement,
recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 32,027 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $1,160,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Needs and Uses: The purpose of 47 CFR part 68 is to protect the
telephone network from certain types of harm and interference to other
subscribers. To ensure that consumers, providers of telecommunications,
the Administrative Council, telecommunications certification bodies
(TCBs), and the Commission are able to trace products to the party
responsible for placing terminal equipment on the market, it is
essential to require manufacturers and suppliers to provide the
information required by part 68. In addition, it is necessary that
incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) provide the information in
part 68 to warn their subscribers of impending disconnection of service
when subscriber terminal equipment is causing telephone network harm.
The Commission is seeking extension (no change) to this information
collection in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from OMB.

Needs and Uses: The Commission was directed by the United States
Congress, in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz of
electromagnetic spectrum in the 746-806 MHz band for public safety
services. Section 90.179 requires that Part 90 licensees that share use
of their private land mobile radio facility on non-profit, cost-shared
basis keep a written sharing agreement as part of the station records.
Regardless of the method of sharing, an up-to-date list of persons who
are sharing the station and the basis of their eligibility under Part
90 must be maintained. The requirement is necessary to identify users
of the systems should interference problems develop. This information
is used by the Commission to investigate interference complaints and
resolve interference and operational complaints that may arise among
the users. The Commission is seeking extension (no change) to this
information collection in order to obtain the full three-year clearance
from OMB.
