Register, and post both documents on
the FCC Web page, as required by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Memorandum, M–03–22
(September 22, 2003).
Needs and Uses: Licensees of
commercial AM, FM, and full power
television broadcast stations, as well as
licensees of Class A and Low Power
Television stations must file FCC Form
323 every two years. Ownership Reports
shall provide information accurate as of
October 1 of the year in which the
Report is filed. Thereafter, the Form
shall be filed biennially beginning
November 1, 2011, and every two years
thereafter.
Also, Licensees and Permittees of
commercial AM, FM, or full power
television stations must file Form 323
following the consummation of a
transfer of control or an assignment of
a commercial AM, FM, or full power
television station license or construction
permit; a Permittee of a new commercial
AM, FM or full power television
broadcast station must file Form 323
within 30 days after the grant of the
construction permit; and a Permittee of
a new commercial AM, FM, or full
power television broadcast station must
file Form 323 to update the initial report
or to certify the continuing accuracy and
completeness of the previously filed
report on the date that the Permittee
applies for a license to cover the
construction permit.
In the case of organizational
structures that include holding
companies or other forms of indirect
ownership, a separate FCC Form 323
must be filed for each entity in the
organizational structure that has an
attributable interest in the Licensee if
the filing is a nonbiennial filing or a

required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), the Federal Communications
Commission invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s).
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Commission’s
burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the

Title: Section 80.103, Digital Selective
Calling (DSC) Operating Procedures—
Maritime Mobile Identity (MMSI).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
entities and Federal Government.
Number of Respondents: 40,000
respondents; 40,000 responses.

Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement and third party
disclosure requirements.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. There is no
statutory authority for this information
collection. The reporting requirements
are in international agreements and
ITU–R M.541–9.
Total Annual Burden: 10,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: N/A.
Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The
Commission maintains a system of
records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB–1,
‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records,’’
that covers this collection, purpose(s),
storage, safeguards and disposal of the
Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
that marine VHF radio licensees
maintain under 47 CFR section 80.103.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is a need for confidentiality with
respect to all owners of Marine VHF
radios with Digital Selective Calling
(DSC) capability in this collection.
Pursuant to section 208(b) of the EGovernment Act of 2002, 44 U.S.C.
section 3501, in conformance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552(a), the
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
(WTB or Bureau) instructs licensees to
use the FCC’s Universal Licensing
System (ULS), Antenna Structure
Registration (ASR), Commission
Registration System (CORES) and
related systems and subsystems to
submit information. CORES is used to
receive an FCC Registration Number
(FRN) and password, after which one
must register all current call signs and
ASR numbers associated with a FRN
within the Bureau’s system of records
(ULS database). Although ULS stores all
information pertaining to the individual
license via the FRN, confidential
information is accessible only by
persons or entities that hold the
password for each account, and the
Bureau’s Licensing Division staff. Upon
the request of a FRN, the individual
licensee is consenting to make publicly
available, via the ULS database, all
information that is not confidential in
nature.
Information on the marine VHF radios
with DSC capability is maintained in
the Commission’s system of records,
FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless Services
Licensing Records.’’ The licensee
records will be publicly available and
routinely used in accordance with
subsection (b) of the Privacy Act. FRN
numbers and material which is afforded
confidential treatment pursuant to a
request made under 47 CFR section
0.459 of the Commission’s rules, will
not be made available for public
inspection. Any PII that individual
applicants provide is covered by a

system of records, FCC/WTB–1,
‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records,’’
and these and all other records may be
disclosed pursuant to the Routine Uses
as stated in the system of records notice.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking OMB approval for an extension
of this information collection in order to
obtain the full three year approval from
OMB. There is no change to the
Commission’s previous burden
estimates.
The information collected is
necessary to require owners of marine
VHF radios with Digital Selective
Calling (DSC) capability to register
information such as the name, address,
type of vessel with a private entity
issuing marine mobile service identities
(MMSI). The information would be used
by search and rescue personnel to
identify vessels in distress and to select
the proper rescue units and search
methods. The requirement to collect this
information is not contained in a
Commission rule or formal FCC order,
but in agreements with the U.S. Coast
Guard and private sector entities that
issue MMSI’s.
The information is used by private
entities to maintain a database used to
provide information about the vessel
owner in distress using marine VHF
radios with DSC capability. If the data
were not collected, the U.S. Coast Guard
would not have access to this
information which would increase the
time and effort needed to complete a
search and rescue operation.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for an extension
of this information collection (no
change in the reporting requirement).
The Commission will submit this
information collection after this 60 day
comment period.
The Commission has adjusted its
previous burden estimates. The total
annual burden has been reduced by
2,602 hours since 2009 because of fewer
respondents and responses.
The Third Report and Order in CC
Docket No. 94–102, adopted rules
applicable to wireless carriers to permit
the use of network-based solutions,
handset-based solutions, or hybrid
solutions. The adopted rules require
changes both to handsets and wireless
networks in providing caller location
information as part of Enhanced 911 (or
E911) services. The Commission
adopted the Third Report and Order to
encourage the deployment of the best
location technology for each area being
served, promote competition in E911
location technology, and speed
implementation of E911.
As part of the rules, the Third Report
and Order also adopted a requirement
that wireless carriers report their plans
for implementing Phase II E911 service
to the Commission. Specifically, this
report must include the technology they
plan to use to provide caller location as
well as information to enable public
safety organizations, equipment
manufacturers, local exchange carriers,
and the Commission to plan and
support Phase II deployment. The
Commission required wireless carriers
to file these initial reports in 2000.
Carriers are required to update these
plans within thirty days of the adoption
of any change. The reporting
requirements are discussed in detail in
47 CFR 20.18(i).
