Download as PDF 70846 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices filing of all applications and other filings related to international telecommunications services via the user-friendly, Internet-based International Bureau Filing System (IBFS). Additionally, the Commission plans to develop eight new cable landing license applications that impact this information collection. We do not know the specific time frame for the development of each application. However, we estimate that the projected completion date for all cable landing license applications is December 31, 2008. The development of the applications is contingent upon the availability of budget funds, human resources, and other factors. Therefore, the annual burden hours and costs are unknown at this time because the forms have not been developed by the Commission yet. Therefore, this submission to OMB does not reflect any change in the annual burden hours and annual costs. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary.
