Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Total Annual Burden: 26,831 hours. Total Annual Cost: None. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does not require the collection of personal identifiable information (PII) from individuals. Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Public Law 101–336, 104 Statute 327, 366–69, was enacted on July 26, 1990. The purpose of the ADA is to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate to end discrimination against individuals with disabilities and to bring persons with disabilities into the economic and social mainstream of American life; to provide enforceable standards addressing discrimination against individuals with disabilities; and to ensure that the Federal government play a central role in enforcing these standards on the behalf of individuals with disabilities. Title IV of the ADA adds § 225 to the Communications Act of 1934. Section 225 of the Communications Act, requires the Commission to promulgate regulations that require all domestic telephone common carriers to provide telecommunications relay services (TRS). 47 CFR part 64, subpart F of the Commission’s rules, implements certain provisions of the ADA. It contains the operational, technical, and functional standards required of all TRS providers and the procedures for state certification. Although § 225 of the Communications Act imposes on all common carriers providing interstate or intrastate telephone services an obligation to provide to hearing and speech-impaired individuals telecommunications services that enable them to communicate with hearing individuals, and charges the Commission with regulatory oversight, states may seek to establish intrastate relay services that satisfy federal requirements. Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.602 Commission’s rules, any violation of subpart F by any common carrier engaged in intrastate communications will be subject to the same remedies, penalties, and procedures as are applicable in interstate communications.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this Document, the International Bureau invites comment on a proposal to remove from the Section 214 Exclusion List those non-U.S.-licensed satellites that have been allowed to enter the U.S. market for satellite services pursuant to the procedure adopted in the DISCO II Order. This action is taken pursuant to the International Bureau’s authority to maintain the Section 214 Exclusion List, which was delegated to the Bureau by the Commission in the 1996 Streamlining Order. In the 1996 Streamlining Order, the Commission promulgated rules for carriers to apply for and receive a global facilities-based Section 214 authorization, which allow carriers to provide international services using any U.S.-licensed facilities, such as U.S.licensed satellites, without filing a separate Section 214 application for each new facility. In that order, the Commission also established the Section 214 Exclusion List, which identifies particular facilities and/or particular countries that are not included in a global facilities-based Section 214 authorization, and, therefore, require a separate Section 214 authorization under Section 214 of the Communications Act, as amended. Initially, the Section 214 Exclusion List included all non-U.S.-licensed satellites. In 1999, however, the Commission as a matter of administrative convenience removed from the Section 214 Exclusion List those non-U.S.-licensed satellites that were on the Permitted Space Station List. The Permitted Space Station List includes all C- and Ku-band fixedsatellite service (FSS) satellites with which U.S. earth stations with routinely authorized technical parameters are permitted to communicate without additional Commission action, provided that those communications fall within the same technical parameters and conditions established in the earth stations’ original licenses. The Commission established the Permitted Space Station List in the DISCO II First Reconsideration Order to simplify the DISCO II process for nonU.S.-licensed FSS satellites seeking to serve the U.S. market. The rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:01 Feb 28, 2007 Jkt 211001 administrative convenience provided by using the Permitted Space Station List to determine which non-U.S.-licensed satellites would be included in a global facilities-based Section 214 authorization is limited, however, by the fact that the Permitted Space Station List includes only C- and Ku-band FSS satellites. Non-U.S.-licensed satellites that operate in other services such as MSS, or in other frequency bands such as the L-, Ka-, or V-bands, would not be added to the Permitted Space Station List, and, therefore, still require a separate Section 214 authorization specifically permitting access to those satellites. In view of these limitations, the International Bureau proposes to remove from the Section 214 Exclusion List any non-U.S.-licensed satellites that have been allowed to provide service to the United States under the DISCO II procedure. Under this proposal, the Permitted Space Station List would no longer be used for international Section 214 authorization purposes, and the proposal’s adoption would allow service providers to access any authorized nonU.S.-licensed satellites through a global facilities-based Section 214 authorization. Note that only non-U.S.licensed satellites that have been allowed to enter the U.S. market pursuant to the DISCO II procedure, which includes the public interest analysis, would qualify for removal from the Section 214 Exclusion List under this proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this Document, the International Bureau 
invites comment on a proposal to remove from the Section 214 Exclusion 
List those non-U.S.-licensed satellites that have been allowed to enter 
the U.S. market for satellite services pursuant to the procedure 
adopted in the DISCO II Order. This action is taken pursuant to the 
International Bureau's authority to maintain the Section 214 Exclusion 
List, which was delegated to the Bureau by the Commission in the 1996 
Streamlining Order.
    In the 1996 Streamlining Order, the Commission promulgated rules 
for carriers to apply for and receive a global facilities-based Section 
214 authorization, which allow carriers to provide international 
services using any U.S.-licensed facilities, such as U.S.-licensed 
satellites, without filing a separate Section 214 application for each 
new facility. In that order, the Commission also established the 
Section 214 Exclusion List, which identifies particular facilities and/
or particular countries that are not included in a global facilities-
based Section 214 authorization, and, therefore, require a separate 
Section 214 authorization under Section 214 of the Communications Act, 
as amended.
    Initially, the Section 214 Exclusion List included all non-U.S.-
licensed satellites. In 1999, however, the Commission as a matter of 
administrative convenience removed from the Section 214 Exclusion List 
those non-U.S.-licensed satellites that were on the Permitted Space 
Station List. The Permitted Space Station List includes all C- and Ku-
band fixed-satellite service (FSS) satellites with which U.S. earth 
stations with routinely authorized technical parameters are permitted 
to communicate without additional Commission action, provided that 
those communications fall within the same technical parameters and 
conditions established in the earth stations' original licenses.
    The Commission established the Permitted Space Station List in the 
DISCO II First Reconsideration Order to simplify the DISCO II process 
for non-U.S.-licensed FSS satellites seeking to serve the U.S. market. 
The administrative convenience provided by using the Permitted Space 
Station List to determine which non-U.S.-licensed satellites would be 
included in a global facilities-based Section 214 authorization is 
limited, however, by the fact that the Permitted Space Station List 
includes only C- and Ku-band FSS satellites. Non-U.S.-licensed 
satellites that operate in other services such as MSS, or in other 
frequency bands such as the L-, Ka-, or V-bands, would not be added to 
the Permitted Space Station List, and, therefore, still require a 
separate Section 214 authorization specifically permitting access to 
those satellites.
    In view of these limitations, the International Bureau proposes to 
remove from the Section 214 Exclusion List any non-U.S.-licensed 
satellites that have been allowed to provide service to the United 
States under the DISCO II procedure. Under this proposal, the Permitted 
Space Station List would no longer be used for international Section 
214 authorization purposes, and the proposal's adoption would allow 
service providers to access any authorized non-U.S.-licensed satellites 
through a global facilities-based Section 214 authorization. Note that 
only non-U.S.-licensed satellites that have been allowed to enter the 
U.S. market pursuant to the DISCO II procedure, which includes the 
public interest analysis, would qualify for removal from the Section 
214 Exclusion List under this proposal.
