    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for

    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

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

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.
