Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.1870
requires that the licensee of an AM, FM,
or TV broadcast station designate a chief
operator of the station. Section
73.1870(b)(3) requires that this
designation must be in writing and
posted with the station license. Section
73.1870(c)(3) requires that the chief
operator, or personnel delegated and
supervised by the chief operator, review
the station records at least once each
week to determine if required entries are
being made correctly, and verify that the
station has been operated in accordance
with FCC rules and the station
authorization. Upon completion of the
review, the chief operator must date and
sign the log, initiate corrective action
which may be necessary and advise the
station licensee of any condition which
is repetitive. The posting of the
designation of the chief operator is used
by interested parties to readily identify
the chief operator. The review of the
station records is used by the chief
operator, and FCC staff in
investigations, to ensure that the station
is operating in accordance with its
station authorization and the FCC rules
and regulations.

The Commission rules in 47 CFR Part
15, 15.525 requires operators of the
Ultra Wideband (UWB) imaging systems
to coordinate with other Federal
agencies via the FCC and to obtain
approval before the UWB equipment
may be used. Initial operation in a
particular area may not commence until
the information has been sent to the
Commission and no prior approval is
required. The information will be used
to coordinate the operation of the Ultra
Wideband transmission systems in
order to avoid interference with
sensitive U.S. government radio
systems. The UWB operators will be
required to provide name, address and
other pertinent contact information of
the user, the desired geographical area
of operation, and the FCC ID number,
and other nomenclature of the UWB
device. This information will be
collected by the Commission and
forwarded to the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) under the U.S.
Department of Commerce. This
information collection is essential to
controlling potential interference to
Federal radio communications. Since
initial operation in a particular area
does not require approval from the FCC
to operate the equipment.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
Information provided pursuant to this
request will be viewed as presumptively
confidential upon submission because
the information would reflect reports on
weaknesses in or damage to national
communications infrastructure, and the
release of this sensitive information to
the public could potentially facilitate
terrorist targeting of critical
infrastructure and key resources. The
submissions also may contain internal
confidential information that constitutes
trade secrets and commercial/financial
information that the respondent does
not routinely make public and public
release of the submitted information
could cause competitive harm by
revealing information about the types
and deployment of cable equipment and
the traffic that flows across the system.
For these reasons, the information
requested in (b) (Terrestrial Route Map)
and (c) (Undersea Location Spreadsheet)
above is presumptively exempt from
public disclosure under Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) Exemption 3, 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(3), and section 4(j) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 154(j), as
implemented in 47 CFR 0.457(c)(1)(i)
(exempting disclosure of ‘‘maps
showing the exact location of submarine
cables’’). The information requested in
(a) (System Status and Restoration
Messages) and (d) (Restoration
Capability) described above will be
considered exempt under Exemption 4
of the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). If a FOIA
request is filed for information
submitted in response to this request,
the respondent whose records are the
subject of the request will be notified of
the FOIA request and given the
opportunity to oppose release of the
records. See 47 CFR 0.461(d)(3). We
note that the information provided in
response to this request will be shared
with the Department of Homeland
Security’s National Communications
System (NCS) and relevant Executive
Branch agencies on a confidential basis.
See 44 U.S.C. 3510.
Needs and Uses: This information is
needed in order to support Federal
government national security and
emergency preparedness
communications programs, for the
purposes of providing situational
awareness of submarine cable system
