The Commission is requesting OMB approval for a revision of this information collection. There are changes to the Commission’s previous burden estimates. The total annual burden has increased (program change increase) by 14,787 hours from 9 hours. This is due to revision of the Commission’s rules in Report and Order, FCC 13–4 which added rule sections 13.9, 13.13, 13.17 and 13.211 to this collection. On January 8, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in an effort to clarify, streamline or eliminate its rules in order to reduce administrative burdens in the telecommunications industry. The FCC adopted a Report and Order, FCC 13–4, amending its rules concerning Commercial Radio Operator licensees for maritime and aviation radio stations. Of those rules adopted, some have recordkeeping and/or reporting requirements for holders of commercial radio licenses, as well as for Commercial Operator License Examination Managers (COLEM(s)) that administer commercial radio operator license examinations across the United States. In this proceeding, the Commission seeks OMB approval for the burdens contained in the R&O, which implements a number of actions the FCC has taken. Each COLEM recovering fees from examinees must maintain records of expenses and revenues, frequency of examinations administered, and examination pass rates. Records must cover from January 1 to December 31 of the preceding year and must be submitted as directed by the FCC. Each COLEM must retain records for one year and the records must be made available to the FCC upon request. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary.
