Supplementary Information: OMB Control No.: 3060-1061. Title: Earth Station on Board Vessels (ESV). Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 15. Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours (average). Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and recordkeeping requirement. Total Annual Burden: 113 hours. Total Annual Cost: $15,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (``Commission'') is revising OMB Control No. 3060-1061 to reflect the decisions of the Report and Order (R&O) titled, ``In the Matter of Procedures to Govern the Use of Satellite Earth Stations on Board Vessels (ESV) in the 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.

Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates
Document Number: 05-1930
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-02-02
Agency: Department of State
This rule adopts as final the Department of State's proposed rule to revise the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services (``Schedule of Fees'' or ``Schedule''), with four changes, one incorporating and finalizing an already effective additional exemption to the MRV fee and the others adding three new fees authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108-447). None of these changes are being made in response to public comments. Only one comment was received during the period for public comment, but the Department has decided that the comment does not warrant any changes in the proposed rule. The additional exemption being added to the Schedule simply incorporates and finalizes an exemption that has been in effect during the comment period on the revised Schedule as a result of an Interim Rule issued pursuant to a separate but related rulemaking. No comments on the additional exemption were received during the comment period for that rulemaking. The three new fees are being added because they were established by legislation enacted after the comment period for this rulemaking closed. The addition of these fees does not require public comment. The proposed rule, modified only to incorporate the new exemption and the new legislatively established fees, is therefore adopted as final.

Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Model Hawker 800XP Airplanes
Document Number: 05-1925
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-02-02
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Raytheon Model Hawker 800XP airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting to detect damage of certain wiring in the flight compartment, performing corrective actions if necessary, modifying certain wiring connections, and revising the airplane flight manual. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of miswiring in the power distribution system. We are proposing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew is aware of the source of battery power for certain equipment, and to prevent damage to wiring and surrounding equipment that could result in smoke or fire on the airplane.
