Title: Part 25 of the Federal Communications Commission’s Rules Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage by, Commercial Earth Stations and Space Stations. Form No.: FCC Form 312; Schedule S.

PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65879 Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. Needs and Uses: On September 28, 2012, the Federal Communications Commission (‘‘Commission’’) released a Report and Order (R&O) titled, ‘‘In the Matter of 2006 Biennial Regulatory Review—Revision of Part 25,’’ FCC 12– 116. With two exceptions, the amendments are non-substantive; that is, they neither impose new requirements nor eliminate or alter existing requirements. The two substantive amendments adopted in the R&O do not increase paperwork burdens. Therefore, the number of respondents, number of responses, annual burden hours and annual costs have not been amended from the previous submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on September 2, 2010. In this Report and Order, the Commission amended various provisions of Part 25 of its rules pertaining to licensing and operation of satellite service radio stations. Among other things, the Commission added definitions for several technical terms that appear in Part 25 but are not defined there, and it deleted definitions of terms that are not used in Part 25. The Commission also eliminated redundant text from several rule sections, revised the wording of other provisions that were ambiguous or unduly confusing, updated crossreferences to Commission rules or recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and corrected grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors. The two substantive amendments the Commission adopted in this Report and Order amended the rules in minor ways by: (1) Eliminating requirements to identify a radio service and station location in correspondence in 47 CFR 25.110 and (2) codifying an established practice of allowing applicants to crossreference, rather than re-submit, previously filed information regarding non-U.S.-licensed satellites in 47 CFR 25.137. Collectively, the changes adopted in this Report and Order will facilitate preparation of earth and space station applications, promote compliance with the Commission’s operating rules, and ease administrative burdens for applicants, licensees, and the Commission. 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 and to determine whether the E:\FR\FM\31OCN1.SGM 31OCN1 65880 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 211 / Wednesday, October 31, 2012 / Notices authorization is in the public interest, convenience and necessity. Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to permit respondents to provide telecommunications services in the United States. Therefore, the Commission would not be able 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0678.
    Title: Part 25 of the Federal Communications Commission's Rules 
Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage by, Commercial Earth 
Stations and Space Stations.
    Form No.: FCC Form 312; Schedule S.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 1,248 respondents; 1,248 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.25-22 hours per response.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting 
requirements; third-party disclosure requirement; recordkeeping 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 
301, 302, 303, 307, 309, 332 and 705 unless otherwise noted.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,765 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $22,375,860.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need 
for confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: On September 28, 2012, the Federal Communications 
Commission (``Commission'') released a Report and Order (R&O) titled, 
``In the Matter of 2006 Biennial Regulatory Review--Revision of Part 
25,'' FCC 12-116. With two exceptions, the amendments are non-
substantive; that is, they neither impose new requirements nor 
eliminate or alter existing requirements. The two substantive 
amendments adopted in the R&O do not increase paperwork burdens. 
Therefore, the number of respondents, number of responses, annual 
burden hours and annual costs have not been amended from the previous 
submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on September 2, 
2010.
    In this Report and Order, the Commission amended various provisions 
of Part 25 of its rules pertaining to licensing and operation of 
satellite service radio stations. Among other things, the Commission 
added definitions for several technical terms that appear in Part 25 
but are not defined there, and it deleted definitions of terms that are 
not used in Part 25. The Commission also eliminated redundant text from 
several rule sections, revised the wording of other provisions that 
were ambiguous or unduly confusing, updated cross-references to 
Commission rules or recommendations of the International 
Telecommunication Union (ITU), and corrected grammatical, spelling, and 
typographical errors. The two substantive amendments the Commission 
adopted in this Report and Order amended the rules in minor ways by: 
(1) Eliminating requirements to identify a radio service and station 
location in correspondence in 47 CFR 25.110 and (2) codifying an 
established practice of allowing applicants to cross-reference, rather 
than re-submit, previously filed information regarding non-U.S.-
licensed satellites in 47 CFR 25.137. Collectively, the changes adopted 
in this Report and Order will facilitate preparation of earth and space 
station applications, promote compliance with the Commission's 
operating rules, and ease administrative burdens for applicants, 
licensees, and the Commission.
    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 and to 
determine whether the

[[Page 65880]]

authorization is in the public interest, convenience and necessity. 
Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to 
permit respondents to provide telecommunications services in the United 
States. Therefore, the Commission would not be able 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.
