In the Eighth Report and Order, the Commission further streamlined the Commission’s nonroutine earth station processing rules by adopting a new earth station procedure VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:18 Nov 14, 2008 Jkt 217001 that will enable the Commission to treat more applications routinely than is possible under the current earth station procedures. This rulemaking facilitates the provision of broadband Internet access services. The PRA information collection requirements contained in the Eighth Report and Order are as follows: 1. The Commission plans to modify the ‘‘Application for Satellite Space and Earth Station Authorizations’’ (FCC Form 312), including Schedule B, in the International Bureau Filing System (‘‘MyIBFS’’) to reflect the off-axis equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) envelope compliance requirement. In the interim, earth station applicants must submit a table as an attachment to the FCC Form 312 to show their compliance with the off-axis EIRP requirement. 2. Earth station licensees who plan to use a contention protocol must certify that their contention protocol usage will be reasonable. In the future, the Commission will revise the FCC Form 312 in MyIBFS to provide a streamlined method for earth station applicants planning to use a contention protocol to make this certification. 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 World Trade Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement.

Sections 154(i), 157(a), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g) and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 42,579 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $613,719,126.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality pertaining to the information collection requirements 
in this collection.
    Needs and Uses: On October 17, 2008, the Federal Communications 
Commission (``Commission'') released an Eighth Report and Order and 
Order on Reconsideration titled, ``In the Matter of 2000 Biennial 
Regulatory Review--Streamlining and Other Revisions of Part 25 of the 
Commission's Rules Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage by, 
Satellite Network Earth Stations and Space Stations; Streamlining the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations for Satellite Applications and 
Licensing Procedures'' (FCC 08-246), IB Docket Nos. 00-248 and 95-117. 
In the Eighth Report and Order, the Commission further streamlined the 
Commission's non-routine earth station processing rules by adopting a 
new earth station procedure that will enable the Commission to treat 
more applications routinely than is possible under the current earth 
station procedures. This rulemaking facilitates the provision of 
broadband Internet access services.
    The PRA information collection requirements contained in the Eighth 
Report and Order are as follows:
    1. The Commission plans to modify the ``Application for Satellite 
Space and Earth Station Authorizations'' (FCC Form 312), including 
Schedule B, in the International Bureau Filing System (``MyIBFS'') to 
reflect the off-axis equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) 
envelope compliance requirement. In the interim, earth station 
applicants must submit a table as an attachment to the FCC Form 312 to 
show their compliance with the off-axis EIRP requirement.
    2. Earth station licensees who plan to use a contention protocol 
must certify that their contention protocol usage will be reasonable. 
In the future, the Commission will revise the FCC Form 312 in MyIBFS to 
provide a streamlined method for earth station applicants planning to 
use a contention protocol to make this certification.
    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 World Trade 
Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement.

Federal Communications Commission.
