Supplementary Information: OMB Control No.: 3060–1061. Title: Earth Stations on Board Vessels (ESVs). Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 15. Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement, third party disclosure requirement, and on occasion and one-time reporting requirements. Total Annual Burden: 113 hours. Total Annual Cost: $15,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No. Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted and released a Report and Order, IB Docket No. 02–10, FCC 04– 286, which revised this information to include the following reporting and recordkeeping requirements: (1) C-Band and Ku-Band operators (‘‘ESV operators’’) must collect and maintain vessel tracking data for one year 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 through 14.5 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’s (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, seven 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. As a result of this rulemaking, the Commission’s International Bureau will revise its earth station license application procedures and related forms to conform to the rules adopted. Specifically, the information requested on FCC Form 312 will need to be modified. There are, moreover, additional and ongoing rulemakings that may also require modification to FCC Form 312. Because the Commission intends to modify FCC Form 312 only after all the applicable PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 rulemakings have been completed, there will be a period of time after the effective date of this Report and Order during which FCC Form 312 will not be altered to accommodate ESV applications. In the interim, ESV applicants should utilize FCC Form 312 and submit attachments providing the relevant information and certifications reflected in the rules we adopted. (Note: FCC Form 312 is approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 3060–0678). Finally, during the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) stage of the rulemaking, the Commission proposed some revisions to FCC rules that were not adopted in the final Report and Order. As a result, the OMB submission reflects a program change of ¥802 burden hours and ¥$12,000 in annual costs. 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 Service (FS), Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and other satellite services; (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.
