SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060–XXXX. Title: Surrenders of Authorizations for International Carrier, Space Station and Earth Station Licensees. Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: New collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 306. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 306 hours. Total Annual Cost: N/A. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as a new collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance. The Federal Communications Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve the establishment of a new collection for surrenders of authorization for international carriers (214 authorizations), space stations and earth stations. A surrender of authorization is the licensee’s voluntary cancellation of a license (or authorization) to provide international telecommunications services, such as discontinuing operation of a space station. This new collection is being initiated as a result of the Commission’s release of Public Notice (DA 06–569) on March 15, 2006 titled, ‘‘International Bureau Announces New and Improved Filing Modules Within Its MyIBFS Electronic Filing System: Surrender of Authorization and Improved Space Station Milestone Filing.’’ The Public Notice announced the International Bureau’s launching of an E-filing module for surrendering authorizations and an improved milestone filing module for satellite space stations within its MyIBFS consolidated VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:12 Oct 24, 2006 Jkt 211001 licensing and electronic filing system. (Note: The OMB approved the electronic filing of milestones under OMB Control No. 3060–1007). Additionally, the Commission is requesting the OMB’s approval of mandatory electronic filing of surrenders of authorizations that do not fall under Part 25 of the Commission’s rules. Currently, the surrender module is available to licensees in MyIBFS who are not required to comply with Part 25 on a voluntary basis. (Note: The OMB approved electronic filing of all Part 25related applications and associated documents under OMB Control No. 3060–0678). Without this collection of information, licensees would be required to submit surrenders of authorizations to the Commission by letter which is more time consuming than submitting such requests to the Commission electronically. In addition, Commission staff would spend an extensive amount of time processing surrenders of authorizations received by letter. This new collection of information saves time (and burden) for both licensees and Commission staff since they are received in MyIBFS electronically and include only the information that is essential to process the request(s) in a timely manner. Furthermore, the E-filing module expedites the Commission staff’s announcement of surrenders of authorizations via Public Notice. OMB Control No.: 3060–0775. Title: Section 64.1903, Obligations of All Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (LECs). Form No.: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit. Number of Respondents: 10. Estimated Time per Response: 6,056 hours. Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement. Total Annual Burden: 60,560 hours. Total Annual Cost: $1,215,000. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension of a currently approved collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance. In CC Docket Nos. 96–149 and 96–61, the Commission imposed recordkeeping requirements on independent local exchange carriers (LECs). Independent LECs wishing to offer international, interexchange services must comply with the separate affiliate requirements of the Competitive Carrier Fifth Report PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62461 and Order in order to do so. One of these requirements is that the independent LEC’s international, interexchange affiliate must maintain books of account separate from such LEC’s local exchange and other activities. This regulation does not require that the affiliate maintain books of account that comply with the Commission’s Part 32 rules; rather, it refers to the fact that as a separate legal entity, the international, interexchange affiliate must maintain its own books of accounts in the ordinary course of its business. This recordkeeping requirement is used by Commission staff to ensure that independent LECs providing international, interexchange services through a separate affiliate are in compliance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and with Commission policies and regulations.
