Title: Exemption from Payment of Regulatory Fees When Claiming NonProfit Status. Form Number: N/A. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions, businesses, or other forprofit organizations; and State, local, or tribal governments. Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,300 respondents; 5,830 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes (0.5 hours). Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping; Annual, on occasion, and one-time reporting requirements. Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 159. Total Annual Burden: 2,915 hours. Total Annual Cost: $0.00. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No privacy impacts. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Licensees or regulatees concerned about disclosure of sensitive information in any submission to the Commission may request confidential treatment pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s rules. Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, is required to assess and collect regulatory fees from its licensees and regulatees in order to recover its costs incurred in conducting enforcement, policy and rulemaking, international and user information services. The purposes for the requirements are to facilitate: (1) The statutory provision that non-profit entities be exempt from payment of regulatory fees; and (2) the FCC’s ability to audit regulatory fee payment compliance. In order to develop a Schedule of Regulatory Fees, the FCC must, as accurately as possible, estimate the number of fee payment entities and distribute the costs. These estimates must be adjusted to account for any licensees or regulatees that are exempt from payment of regulatory fees. The FCC, therefore, requires all licensees and regulatees that claim exemption as non-profit entities to provide one-time only documentation sufficient to establish their non-profit status. Further, the FCC is requesting that it be similarly notified if for any reason that status changes. The documentation necessary to provide to the Commission will likely take the form of an Internal Revenue VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:50 Oct 12, 2011 Jkt 226001 Service (IRS) Determination Letter, a state charter indicating non-profit status, proof of church affiliation indicating tax exempt status, etc. The FCC is requiring licensees or regulatees to maintain and to make available, upon request, for inspection such records they would normally keep in the course of doing business. This will enable the FCC to conduct any audits deemed appropriate to determine whether fee payments were made correctly, and will help ensure compliance with the FCC fee exemption policies. While there is no change in the burden hours for each respondent/ reporting entity, the aggregate burdens hours have increased due to more entities having claimed non-profit status in the last three years.
