Congressional Review Act
The Commission will send a copy of
document FCC 11–104 in a report to be
sent to Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act. See 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).
Final Regulatory Flexibility
Certification
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, as amended (‘‘RFA’’) requires that
a final regulatory flexibility analysis be
prepared for notice-and-comment rule
making proceedings, unless the agency
certifies that ‘‘the rule will not, if
promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.’’ The RFA
generally defines the term ‘‘small
entity’’ as having the same meaning as
the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small
organization,’’ and ‘‘small governmental
jurisdiction.’’ In addition, the term
‘‘small business’’ has the same meaning
as the term ‘‘small business concern’’
under the Small Business Act. 5 U.S.C.
605(b). A ‘‘small business concern’’ is
one which: (1) Is independently owned
and operated; (2) is not dominant in its
field of operation; and (3) satisfies any
additional criteria established by the
Small Business Administration
(‘‘SBA’’). 15 U.S.C. 632.
In document FCC 11–104, the
Commission adopts per-minute
compensation rates for the Interstate
Telecommunications Relay Services
Fund for the 2011–2012 Fund year for
all forms of TRS except for video relay
service (‘‘VRS’’). The current interim
VRS rates adopted for the 2010–2011
Fund year will be extended based on the
proposal of the Fund administrator, as
well as the record in the VRS Rate
NPRM proceeding, published at 76 FR
24442, May 2, 2011. As of July 1, 2011,
the interim rates for VRS shall continue
to be: $6.2390 for Tier I, $6.2335 for Tier
II, and $5.0668 for Tier III. The rates for
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:15 Jul 22, 2011
Jkt 223001
the other forms of TRS shall be: $1.8611
for interstate traditional TRS; $2.9921
for Speech-to-Speech service (‘‘STS’’);
$1.7630 for captioned telephone service
(‘‘CTS’’) and Internet Protocol (‘‘IP’’)
CTS; and $1.2920 for IP Relay.
The VRS rates adopted in document
FCC 11–104 are interim rates, and the
Commission will continue to examine
VRS compensation as part of the 2010
VRS NOI proceeding. Based on the
adoption of these rates for VRS as well
as for the other forms of TRS, and
NECA’s proposals for additional
funding requirements, the Commission
adopts a carrier contribution factor of
0.01058, and a funding requirement of
$740,399,393.56 for the 2011–2012
Fund year.
In regard to VRS, the Commission
sought comment on extending the
current VRS rates for the upcoming
Fund year in the VRS Rate NPRM
proceeding. In the attached initial
regulatory flexibility certification, the
Commission concluded that its proposal
would not impose a financial burden on
entities, including small businesses,
because eligible entities would continue
to be promptly reimbursed from the
Interstate TRS Fund at the same rate at
which they are currently reimbursed for
VRS. No commenters opposed this
proposal or the associated initial
regulatory flexibility certification.
In document FCC 11–104, the
Commission adopts its proposal to
extend VRS rates, and determines that
this extension will not place any
financial burden on VRS entities,
including small VRS businesses,
because these entities will continue to
be promptly reimbursed from the
Interstate TRS Fund at the same rate at
which they are currently reimbursed.
In addition, with respect to 2011–
2012 rates adopted in document FCC
11–104 to apply to entities other than
VRS, i.e. to TRS, STS, CTS, IP CTS, and
IP Relay entities, the rates for the latter
group of entities are based on the same
methodology used in adopting rates for
the last Fund year. Therefore, the
Commission determines that there is no
financial burden caused by the adoption
of the rates for TRS, STS, CTS, IP CTS,
and IP Relay for entities, including
small businesses, because these entities
will also continue to be promptly
reimbursed from the Interstate TRS
Fund at the same rate at which they are
currently reimbursed.
Therefore, the Commission certifies
that the proposal in document FCC 11–
104 does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
The Commission will send a copy of
the document FCC 11–104, including a

Title: 46 CFR part 540—Application
for Certificate of Financial
Responsibility/Form FMC–131.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0012
(Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Sections 2 and 3 of Public
Law 89–777 (46 U.S.C. 44105–44106)
require owners or charterers of
passenger vessels with 50 or more
passenger berths or stateroom
accommodations and embarking
passengers at United States ports and
territories to establish their financial
responsibility to meet liability incurred
for death or injury to passengers and
other persons, and to indemnify
passengers in the event of
nonperformance of transportation. The
Commission’s Rules at 46 CFR part 540
implement Public Law 89–777 and
specify financial responsibility coverage
requirements for such owners and
charterers.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to this information collection, and it is
being submitted for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The information will
be used by the Commission’s staff to
ensure that passenger vessel owners and
charterers have evidenced financial
responsibility to indemnify passengers
and others in the event of
nonperformance or casualty.
Frequency: This information is
collected when applicants apply for a
certificate or when existing certificants
change any information in their
application forms.
Type of Respondents: The types of
respondents are owners, charterers and
operators of passenger vessels with 50
or more passenger berths that embark
passengers from U.S. ports or territories.
Number of Annual Respondents: The
Commission estimates an annual
respondent universe of 45.

Title: 46 CFR part 565—Controlled
Carriers.
OMB Approval Number: 3072–0060
(Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Section 9 of the Shipping
Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40701–40706,
requires that the Commission monitor
the practices of controlled carriers to
ensure that they do not maintain rates
or charges in their tariffs and service
contracts that are below a level that is
just and reasonable; nor establish,
maintain or enforce unjust or
unreasonable classifications, rules or
regulations in those tariffs or service
contracts which result or are likely to
result in the carriage or handling of
cargo at rates or charges that are below
a just and reasonable level. 46 CFR part
565 establishes the method by which
the Commission determines whether a
particular ocean common carrier is a
controlled carrier subject to section 9 of
the Shipping Act of 1984. When a
government acquires a controlling
interest in an ocean common carrier, or
when a controlled carrier newly enters
a United States trade, the Commission’s
rules require that such a carrier notify
the Commission of these events.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to this information collection, and it is
being submitted for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
uses these notifications in order to
effectively discharge its statutory duty
to determine whether a particular ocean
common carrier is a controlled carrier
and therefore subject to the
requirements of section 9 of the
Shipping Act of 1984.
Frequency: The submission of
notifications from controlled carriers is
not assigned to a specific time frame by
the Commission; they are submitted as
circumstances warrant. The
Commission only requires notification
when a majority portion of an ocean
common carrier becomes owned or
controlled by a government, or when a
controlled carrier newly begins
operation in any United States trade.
Type of Respondents: Controlled
carriers are ocean common carriers
which are owned or controlled by a
government.
Number of Annual Respondents: It is
estimated that 9 of the currently
classified controlled carriers may
respond in any given year.
Classifications are reviewed periodically
to determine current status of
respondents and to increase or decrease
the number of controlled carriers based

on new circumstances. The Commission
cannot anticipate when a new carrier
may enter the United States trade;
therefore, the number of annual
respondents may fluctuate from year to
year and could increase to 10 or more
at any time.
Estimated Time per Response: The
estimated time for compliance is 7
hours per year.
Total Annual Burden: The
Commission estimates the hour burden
required to make such notifications at
63 hours per year.

control over how frequently service
contracts are entered into; this is solely
a matter between the negotiating parties.
When parties enter into a service
contract, it must be filed with the
Commission.
Type of Respondents: Parties that
enter into service contracts are ocean
common carriers and agreements among
ocean common carriers on the one hand,
and shippers or shipper’s associations
on the other.

the Commission to exempt by rule ‘‘any
class of agreements between persons
subject to this part or any specified
activity of those persons from any
requirement of this part if the
Commission finds that the exemption
will not result in substantial reduction
in competition or be detrimental to
commerce. The Commission may attach
conditions to any exemption and may,
by order, revoke any exemption.’’ 46
CFR part 531 allows non-vesseloperating common carriers (NVOCCs)
and shippers’ associations with NVOCC
members to act as shipper parties in
NVOCC Service Arrangements (NSAs),
and to be exempt from certain tariff
publication requirements of the
Shipping Act provided the carriage in
question is done pursuant to an NSA
filed with the Commission and the
essential terms are published in the
NVOCC’s tariff.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13),
the Commission invites the general public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed information collections. On May 3, 2011, the
Commission published a notice and request for comments in the Federal
Register (76 FR 24881) regarding the agency's request for continued
approval from OMB for information collections as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The Commission received no comments on
any of the requests for extensions of OMB clearance. The Commission has
submitted the described information collections to OMB for approval.
In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address
one or more of the following points: (1) The necessity and utility of
the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the
agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection
burden.
Information Collections Open for Comment
Title: 46 CFR part 540--Application for Certificate of Financial
Responsibility/Form FMC-131.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0012 (Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Sections 2 and 3 of Public Law 89-777 (46 U.S.C. 44105-
44106) require owners or charterers of passenger vessels with 50 or
more passenger berths or stateroom accommodations and embarking
passengers at United States ports and territories to establish their
financial responsibility to meet liability incurred for death or injury
to passengers and other persons, and to indemnify passengers in the
event of nonperformance of transportation. The Commission's Rules at 46
CFR part 540 implement Public Law 89-777 and specify financial
responsibility coverage requirements for such owners and charterers.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection, and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The information will be used by the Commission's
staff to ensure that passenger vessel owners and charterers have
evidenced financial responsibility to indemnify passengers and others
in the event of nonperformance or casualty.
Frequency: This information is collected when applicants apply for
a certificate or when existing certificants change any information in
their application forms.
Type of Respondents: The types of respondents are owners,
charterers and operators of passenger vessels with 50 or more passenger
berths that embark passengers from U.S. ports or territories.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates an annual
respondent universe of 45.
Estimated Time per Response: The time per response ranges from 0.5
to 8 hours for reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in
the rules, and 8 hours for completing Application Form FMC-131.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total hour burden
at 1,294 hours.
Title: 46 CFR part 565--Controlled Carriers.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0060 (Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40701-
40706, requires that the Commission monitor the practices of controlled
carriers to ensure that they do not maintain rates or charges in their
tariffs and service contracts that are below a level that is just and
reasonable; nor establish, maintain or enforce unjust or unreasonable
classifications, rules or regulations in those tariffs or service
contracts which result or are likely to result in the carriage or
handling of cargo at rates or charges that are below a just and
reasonable level. 46 CFR part 565 establishes the method by which the
Commission determines whether a particular ocean common carrier is a
controlled carrier subject to section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984.
When a government acquires a controlling interest in an ocean common
carrier, or when a controlled carrier newly enters a United States
trade, the Commission's rules require that such a carrier notify the
Commission of these events.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection, and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission uses these notifications in order to
effectively discharge its statutory duty to determine whether a
particular ocean common carrier is a controlled carrier and therefore
subject to the requirements of section 9 of the Shipping Act of 1984.
Frequency: The submission of notifications from controlled carriers
is not assigned to a specific time frame by the Commission; they are
submitted as circumstances warrant. The Commission only requires
notification when a majority portion of an ocean common carrier becomes
owned or controlled by a government, or when a controlled carrier newly
begins operation in any United States trade.
Type of Respondents: Controlled carriers are ocean common carriers
which are owned or controlled by a government.
Number of Annual Respondents: It is estimated that 9 of the
currently classified controlled carriers may respond in any given year.
Classifications are reviewed periodically to determine current status
of respondents and to increase or decrease the number of controlled
carriers based
[[Page 44329]]
on new circumstances. The Commission cannot anticipate when a new
carrier may enter the United States trade; therefore, the number of
annual respondents may fluctuate from year to year and could increase
to 10 or more at any time.
Estimated Time per Response: The estimated time for compliance is 7
hours per year.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the hour burden
required to make such notifications at 63 hours per year.
Title: 46 CFR part 525--Marine Terminal Operator Schedules and
Related Form FMC-1.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0061 (Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Section 8(f) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C.
40501(f), provides that a marine terminal operator (MTO) may make
available to the public a schedule of its rates, regulations, and
practices, including limitations of liability for cargo loss or damage,
pertaining to receiving, delivering, handling, or storing property at
its marine terminal. The Commission's rules governing MTO schedules are
set forth at 46 CFR part 525.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection, and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission uses information obtained from Form
FMC-1 to determine the organization name, organization number, home
office address, name and telephone number of the firm's representatives
and the location of MTO schedules of rates, regulations and practices,
and publisher, should the MTOs determine to make their schedules
available to the public, as set forth in section 8(f) of the Shipping
Act.
Frequency: This information is collected prior to an MTO's
commencement of its marine terminal operations.
Type of Respondents: Persons operating as MTOs.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates the
respondent universe at 20, of which 12 opt to make their schedules
available to the public.
Estimated Time per Response: The time per response for completing
Form FMC-1 averages 0.5 hours, and approximately 5 hours for related
MTO schedules.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total burden at
70 hours.
Title: 46 CFR part 520--Carrier Automated Tariff Systems and
Related Form FMC-1.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0064 (Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Except with respect to certain specified commodities,
section 8(a) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40501(a)-(c),
requires that each common carrier and conference shall keep open to
public inspection, in an automated tariff system, tariffs showing its
rates, charges, classifications, rules, and practices between all ports
and points on its own route and on any through transportation route
that has been established. In addition, individual carriers or
agreements among carriers are required to make available in tariff
format certain enumerated essential terms of their service contracts.
46 U.S.C. 40502. The Commission is responsible for reviewing the
accessibility and accuracy of automated tariff systems, in accordance
with its regulations set forth at 46 CFR part 520.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection, and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission uses information obtained from Form
FMC-1 to ascertain the location of common carrier and conference tariff
publications, and to access their provisions regarding rules, rates,
charges and practices.
Frequency: This information is collected when common carriers or
conferences publish tariffs.
Type of Respondents: Persons desiring to operate as common carriers
or conferences.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates there are
4,200 Carrier Automated Tariffs. It is estimated that the number of
annual respondents will be 1,300.
Estimated Time per Response: The time per response ranges from 0.1
to 2 hours for reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in
the rules, and 0.5 hours for completing Form FMC-1.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total hour burden
at 4,278 hours.
Title: 46 CFR part 530--Service Contracts and Related Form FMC-83.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0065 (Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Section 8(c) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C.
40502, requires service contracts, except those dealing with bulk
cargo, forest products, recycled metal scrap, new assembled motor
vehicles, waste paper or paper waste, and their related amendments and
notices to be filed confidentially with the Commission.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection, and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission monitors service contract filings
for acts prohibited by the Shipping Act of 1984.
Frequency: The Commission has no control over how frequently
service contracts are entered into; this is solely a matter between the
negotiating parties. When parties enter into a service contract, it
must be filed with the Commission.
Type of Respondents: Parties that enter into service contracts are
ocean common carriers and agreements among ocean common carriers on the
one hand, and shippers or shipper's associations on the other.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates an annual
respondent universe of 141.
Estimated Time per Response: The time per response ranges from 0.1
to 1 hour for reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in the
rules, and 0.1 hour for completing Form FMC-83.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total hour burden
at 79,370 hours.
Title: 46 CFR part 531--NVOCC Service Arrangements and Related Form
FMC-78.
OMB Approval Number: 3072-0070 (Expires August 31, 2011).
Abstract: Section 16 of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. 40103,
authorizes the Commission to exempt by rule ``any class of agreements
between persons subject to this part or any specified activity of those
persons from any requirement of this part if the Commission finds that
the exemption will not result in substantial reduction in competition
or be detrimental to commerce. The Commission may attach conditions to
any exemption and may, by order, revoke any exemption.'' 46 CFR part
531 allows non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) and shippers'
associations with NVOCC members to act as shipper parties in NVOCC
Service Arrangements (NSAs), and to be exempt from certain tariff
publication requirements of the Shipping Act provided the carriage in
question is done pursuant to an NSA filed with the Commission and the
essential terms are published in the NVOCC's tariff.
Current Actions: There are no changes to this information
collection, and it is being submitted for extension purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension.
Needs and Uses: The Commission uses filed NSAs and associated data
for monitoring and investigatory purposes
[[Page 44330]]
and, in its proceedings, to adjudicate related issues raised by private
parties.
Frequency: The filing of NSAs is not assigned a specific time by
the Commission; NSAs are filed as they may be entered into by private
parties. When parties enter into an NSA, it must be filed with the
Commission.
Type of Respondents: Parties that enter into NSAs are NVOCCs and
shippers' associations with NVOCC members.
Number of Annual Respondents: The Commission estimates an annual
respondent universe of 145.
Estimated Time per Response: The time per response ranges from 0.1
to 1 hour for reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in the
rules, and 1 hour for completing Form FMC-78.
Total Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the total hour burden
at 1,186 person-hours.
