Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 1,750. Estimated Time Per Response: .50–40 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 165,600 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information collection to OMB as an extension (no change in information collection requirements) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. This collection contains 17 different information collection requirements. The Commission sought to further Congress’s goal of promoting innovation and investment by all participating in the telecommunications marketplace, in order to stimulate competition for all services, including advanced telecommunications services. In furtherance of this goal, the Commission imposes certain information collection requirements on incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) in order to ensure compliance with the incumbent LEC’s collocation obligations and to assist incumbent LECs in protecting network integrity. All of the information collections will be used by the Commission and by competitive carriers to facilitate the deployment of advanced services and to implement section 251 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. OMB Control No.: 3060–0076. Title: Common Carrier Annual Employment Report. Form No.: FCC Form 395. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 1,100. Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour. Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement, recordkeeping requirement. Total Annual Burden: 1,100 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information collection to OMB as a revision in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The Commission has revised the FCC Form VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:26 Feb 07, 2006 Jkt 208001 395 to conform to OMB’s revised standards in Statistical Policy Directive No. 15, Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative Reporting. Additionally, the total annual burden for this information collection has been adjusted to reflect a decrease in the number of respondents since the last OMB renewal period which was three years ago. The current number of respondents is 4,000. With this submission, we are reporting 1,100 respondents; and 1,100 total annual burden hours. OMB Control No.: 3060–0835. Title: Ship Inspections. Form Nos.: FCC Forms 806, 824, 827, and 829. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions and State, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents: 1,210. Estimated Time Per Response: .084 hours to complete inspection certificate; 4 hours for the ship inspection; and .25 hours to provide a summary in the ship’s log. Frequency of Response: Annual and every five year reporting requirement, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure requirement. Total Annual Burden: 5,245 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension (no change in reporting requirements) for this information collection in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from OMB. The FCC seeks to promote efficiency in the Commission’s service to the public and to encourage the use of private sector organizations to take over government operations whenever possible. The Communications Act requires the Commission to inspect the radio installation of large cargo ships and certain passenger ships at least once a year to ensure that the radio installation is in compliance with the requirements of the Communications Act. Additionally, the Communications Act requires the inspection of small passenger ships at least once every five years. The Safety Convention (which the United States is a signatory) also requires an annual inspection. However, the Safety Convention permits an Administrator to entrust the inspections to either surveyors nominated for the purpose or to organizations recognized by it. Therefore, the United States can have other parties conduct the radio inspection of vessels for compliance with the Safety Convention. The Commission allows FCC-licensed PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6483 technicians to conduct these inspections. FCC-licensed technicians certify that the ship passed an inspection and issue a safety certificate. These safety certificates (FCC Forms 806, 824, 827 and 829) indicate that the vessel complies with the Communications Act and the Safety Convention. These technicians are required to provide a summary of the results of the inspection in the ship’s log. In addition, the vessel’s owner, operator, or ship’s master must certify in the ship’s log that the inspection was satisfactory. Inspection certificates issued in accordance with the Safety Convention must be posted in a prominent place on the ship. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary.

Introduction 1. In the Order, each year, the Commission must review and approve or modify any proposed modifications to the formulas used to calculate Part 36 high-cost loop support and local switching support for average schedule companies. Historically, the National Exchange Carrier Association, Inc. (NECA) has filed the annual average schedule company formula modifications for both Part 36 high-cost loop support and local switching support. Pursuant to § 54.301(f) of the Commission’s rules, however, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) now submits the proposed formula for local switching support. The Commission’s rules require that these formulas simulate the disbursements that would be received VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:26 Feb 07, 2006 Jkt 208001 by a company that is representative of average schedule companies. 2. On August 30, 2005, NECA filed proposed modifications to the current high-cost loop universal service formula for average schedule companies, requesting that they take effect on January 1, 2006, and remain in effect through December 31, 2006. On September 30, 2005, USAC filed proposed modifications to the current local switching support formula for average schedule companies. On October 20, 2005, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) issued a public notice soliciting comments on NECA’s high-cost support filing. For the reasons discussed below, we approve USAC’s modified local switching support formula and, with respect to Part 36 high-cost support, we adopt NECA’s cost per loop (CPL) formula. As we have done previously, we direct USAC to provide support to average schedule carriers consistent with this Order retroactive to January 1, 2006. II. Local Switching Support Formula 3. The local switching support formula is used to determine the amount of support for switching costs that will be provided to average schedule companies from the Commission’s universal service highcost support mechanism. The current interstate local switching support formula was approved on December 30, 2004. In its September 30, 2005, filing, USAC proposes a formula for 2006 that, if approved, would increase annual payments for local switching support from approximately $83.7 million in 2005 to approximately $85.8 million in 2006, an increase of approximately 2.5 percent. We have reviewed USAC’s filing and the supporting information in NECA’s 2005 Modification of Average Schedules and find that the method used to develop this year’s proposed formula is the same method that NECA has used to develop the formula we approved during the last payment period. Consistent with the Bureau’s prior orders, we approve USAC’s proposed 2006 average schedule local switching support formula. 4. USAC’s average schedule local switching support filing provided only its proposed 2006 formulas. Supporting documentation for the 2006 local switching support formulas was filed eight months earlier in NECA’s 2005 Modification of Average Schedules. In average schedule local switching support filings prior to 2005, NECA provided detailed explanations, supporting documentation, and data. Such a consolidated single filing of the formulas, necessary information, and PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 6485 data enables us to conduct a more efficient review of local switching support filings. Thus, beginning with the local switching support filing due in 2006, and for all subsequent filings, we require USAC to provide at least the same level of explanative detail and data that NECA had included previously with its average schedule local switching support formula filings. III. Discussion 5. Consistent with our reasoning in our 2003 Order, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service in CC Docket No. 96–45, DA 02–3587, released on December 27, 2002; 2004 Order, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service in CC Docket No. 96–45, DA 03– 4063, released on December 24, 2003; and 2005 Order, Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service in CC Docket No. 96–45, DA 04–4070, released on December 30, 2004, we adopt the CPL formula for purposes of calculating average schedule company expense adjustments for 2006. In previous average schedule formula filings, NECA conceded that the CPL formula better estimates cost per loop, but argued that the Bureau should instead approve NECA’s EAPL formula because NECA believes it better estimates the expense adjustments that an average schedule carrier should receive. We again find, however, that we are not required to adopt a formula based on its ability to predict expense adjustments per loop, i.e., ‘‘disbursements,’’ compared to a formula’s ability to predict costs per loop. The Bureau has consistently held, and the Commission has upheld, that the appropriate high-cost loop support formula should reasonably approximate the cost per loop of the sample average schedule companies and allocate funds accurately to average schedule companies. Because the CPL formula provided by NECA in its filing better estimates the cost per loop of sample average schedule companies than the proposed EAPL formula, based on the current record, the Bureau concludes, as it did in its 2003 Order, that the CPL formula is a more appropriate means of calculating universal service high-cost loop support for average schedule companies. Because NECA’s submission of the results derived from the CPL formula appear to be accurate and complete, we therefore approve the CPL formula results provided in NECA’s August 30, 2005 submission. 6. Although today, based on the current record, we approve NECA’s CPL formula for 2006, which is essentially the same CPL formula filed since 2002 adjusted for changes in the sample cost data, we are concerned about yearly E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM 08FEN1

Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

December 27, 2005.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid 
control number. Comments are requested concerning (a) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

    Title: Part 25 of the Commission's Rules Governing the Licensing 
of, and Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network Stations and Space 
Stations.
    Form No.: FCC 312, Schedule S.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 3,432.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-40 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting 
requirements, and third party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 42,108 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $608,401,936.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has revised this information 
collection in a Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 05-62. In this 
proceeding, the Commission proposed to combine power level requirements 
and antenna diameter requirements into one off-axis equivalent 
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) requirement. (EIRP is the product 
of the gain of the antenna in a given direction relative to an 
isotropic antenna and the power supplied to that antenna.) If this 
proposal is adopted, it would give earth station operators more 
flexibility in their operations and help expedite its review of some 
non-routine earth station applications. The Commission invited comments 
on what revisions would be necessary to its rules to provide protection 
from interference for earth stations in the event that it adopts an 
off-axis EIRP requirement for fixed satellite service (FSS) earth 
stations. Additionally, the Commission invited comment on what specific 
information should be required from earth station applicants in order 
to comply with the proposed off-axis EIRP requirement. The following 
new information collection requirements are proposed in the rulemaking: 
(1) Earth station applicants will provide a table showing the EIRP of 
the antenna at various specific off-axis angles; (2) Very Small 
Aperture Terminal (VSAT) licensees will certify that they will meet any 
applicable requirements for contention protocols adopted in this 
proceeding; (3) any party questioning a license applicant's contention 
protocol certification will provide a technical analysis showing that 
the applicant's planned contention protocol usage is likely to cause 
harmful interference to adjacent satellites or terrestrial wireless 
operations; and (4) a certificate of coordination signed by an 
authorized representative of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory 
(NRAO) will be made to the Commission upon request.
    If the proposals are adopted by the Commission, it is anticipated 
that the FCC Form 312 will be revised and/or new applications will be 
developed to accommodate the off-axis EIRP requirement for earth 
stations. Furthermore, the modification of the FCC Form 312 and/or 
creation of new applications would necessitate revisions to the 
International Bureau Filing System (IBFS) so that applicants can file 
the new or revised applications electronically with the Commission.
