ACTION: Announcement of effective date. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval on March 16, 2007 for a revision to the public information collection requirements contained in the FCC’s part 25 of the Commission’s Rules Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network Stations and Space Stations, OMB Control Number 3060–0678, pursuant to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 13.

For additional information concerning the Paperwork Reduction Act information collection requirements, contact Judith B. Herman at (202) 418–0124, or via the Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission revised OMB Control No. 3060–0678 to add a certification to the Application for Satellite Space and Earth Station Authorizations (FCC Form 312) so that satellite applicants subject to geographic rules can check a box certifying that they will comply with those rules. Currently, section 25.148(c) of the Commission’s rules requires E:\FR\FM\16MYN1.SGM 16MYN1 cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES 27568 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 94 / Wednesday, May 16, 2007 / Notices Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) operators to provide service to Alaska and Hawaii if ‘‘technically feasible,’’ or to provide a technical analysis showing that such service is not technically feasible. In addition, some Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) operators and Non-geostationary Satellite Orbit Fixed Satellite Service (NGSO FSS) operators have similar geographic coverage requirements. For example, Ka-band NGSO FSS systems must provide service between 70 degrees North Latitude and 55 degrees South Latitude for at least 75 percent of every 24-hour period in accordance with section 25.145(c)(1) of the Commission’s rules. Finally, this certification will also apply to geographic service rules that take effect in the future. The addition of the certification will require modification of the FCC Form 312 which is housed in the International Bureau Filing System (‘‘MyIBFS’’), an electronic filing system. In 2005, the Commission received approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for mandatory electronic filing of all satellite and earth station applications. Therefore, all certifications must be filed with the Commission electronically in MyIBFS. This collection is used by the Commission staff in carrying out its duties concerning satellite communications as required by sections 301, 308, 309 and 310 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. sections 301, 308, 309, 310. This collection is also used by the Commission staff in carrying out its duties under the World Trade Organizations (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement. The information collection requirements accounted for in this collection are necessary to determine the technical and legal qualifications of applicants or licensees to operate a station, transfer or assign a license, and to determine whether the authorization is in the public interest, convenience and necessity. Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to permit respondents to provide telecommunication services in the U.S. Therefore, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the WTO Basic Telecom Agreement.

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 Act Impact Assessment: Not applicable. Needs and Uses: In addition to the existing information collection requirements that we previously approved by OMB, in the Order on Reconsideration, In the Matter of Rules and Regulations Implementing Minimum Customer Account Record Exchange Obligations on All Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) and Interexchange Carriers (IXCs) (2005 Report and Order), CG Docket No. 02– 386, FCC 06–134, which was released on September 13, 2006, the Commission concluded that minor modifications to 47 CFR 64.4002 are needed to clarity carriers’ respective obligations under that rule section. Paragraph 64.4002(d) is modified to require that LEC notify an IXC when the LEC has removed at its local switch a presubscribed customer of the IXC in connection with the customer’s selection of ‘‘no-PIC’’ (preferred interexchange carrier) status. In this context, the selection of ‘‘no-PIC’’ status by the customer refers to the selection of no carriers for interLATA (Local Access Transport and Area) service or no carrier for interLATA service. The Commission concludes that this modification is needed to ensure that an IXC does not continue billing a customer for non-usage-related monthly charges where that customer has contacted his current LEC or his current IXC to select ‘‘no-PIC’’ status. Paragraph 64.4002(e) of the Commission’s rules is modified to E:\FR\FM\16MYN1.SGM 16MYN1

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Satellite Network Stations and Space Stations

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Announcement of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval on March 16, 2007 for a revision 
to the public information collection requirements contained in the 
FCC's part 25 of the Commission's Rules Governing the Licensing of, and 
Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network Stations and Space Stations, OMB 
Control Number 3060-0678, pursuant to the requirements of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number.

DATES: The FCC's Form 312, revised as set forth in 71 FR 62463, Oct. 
25, 2006, took effect on April 16, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Spaeth, International Bureau, 
Satellite Division, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554, at 
(202) 418-1539, or Paul Noone, International Bureau, Satellite 
Division, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554, at (202) 418-
7945. For additional information concerning the Paperwork Reduction Act 
information collection requirements, contact Judith B. Herman at (202) 
418-0124, or via the Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission revised OMB Control No. 3060-
0678 to add a certification to the Application for Satellite Space and 
Earth Station Authorizations (FCC Form 312) so that satellite 
applicants subject to geographic rules can check a box certifying that 
they will comply with those rules. Currently, section 25.148(c) of the 
Commission's rules requires

[[Page 27568]]

Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) operators to provide service to Alaska 
and Hawaii if ``technically feasible,'' or to provide a technical 
analysis showing that such service is not technically feasible. In 
addition, some Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) operators and Non-
geostationary Satellite Orbit Fixed Satellite Service (NGSO FSS) 
operators have similar geographic coverage requirements. For example, 
Ka-band NGSO FSS systems must provide service between 70 degrees North 
Latitude and 55 degrees South Latitude for at least 75 percent of every 
24-hour period in accordance with section 25.145(c)(1) of the 
Commission's rules. Finally, this certification will also apply to 
geographic service rules that take effect in the future.
    The addition of the certification will require modification of the 
FCC Form 312 which is housed in the International Bureau Filing System 
(``MyIBFS''), an electronic filing system. In 2005, the Commission 
received approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
mandatory electronic filing of all satellite and earth station 
applications. Therefore, all certifications must be filed with the 
Commission electronically in MyIBFS.
    This collection is used by the Commission staff in carrying out its 
duties concerning satellite communications as required by sections 301, 
308, 309 and 310 of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. sections 301, 
308, 309, 310. This collection is also used by the Commission staff in 
carrying out its duties under the World Trade Organizations (WTO) Basic 
Telecom Agreement. The information collection requirements accounted 
for in this collection are necessary to determine the technical and 
legal qualifications of applicants or licensees to operate a station, 
transfer or assign a license, and to determine whether the 
authorization is in the public interest, convenience and necessity. 
Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to 
permit respondents to provide telecommunication services in the U.S. 
Therefore, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the WTO Basic 
Telecom Agreement.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
