Control No. 3060–0686. The purpose of
this revision is to obtain OMB approval
of rules adopted in the Commission’s
Report and Order in IB Docket No. 12–
299, FCC 14–48, adopted and released
on August 22, 2014 (Report and Order).
In the Report and Order, the
Commission eliminated the effective
competitive opportunities (ECO) test
from sections 63.11(g)(2) and 63.18(k) of
the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR
63.11(g)(2), 63.18(k), which apply to
applications filed under section 63.18,
47 CFR 63.18, for authority to provide
U.S.-international telecommunications
service pursuant to section 214 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (Communications Act), 47
U.S.C. 214, and to foreign carrier
affiliation notifications filed under
section 63.11 of the Commission’s rules,
47 CFR 63.11. The Commission is also
making adjustments to the hour and cost
burdens associated with other rules and
requirements covered by this
information collection.
The information will be used by the
Commission staff in carrying out its
duties under the Communications Act.
The information collections are
necessary largely to determine the
qualifications of applicants to provide
common carrier international
telecommunications service, including
applicants that are, or are affiliated
with, foreign carriers, and to determine
whether and under what conditions the
authorizations are in the public interest,
convenience, and necessity. The
information collections are also
necessary to maintain effective oversight
of U.S. international carriers generally.
If the collections are not conducted or
are conducted less frequently,
applicants will not obtain the
authorizations necessary to provide
telecommunications services, and the
Commission will be unable to carry out
its mandate under the Communications
Act. In addition, without the
information collections, the United
States would jeopardize its ability to
fulfill the U.S. obligations as negotiated
under the WTO Basic Telecom
Agreement because these collections are
imperative to detecting and deterring
anticompetitive conduct. They are also
necessary to preserve the Executive
Branch agencies’ and the Commission’s
ability to review foreign investments for
national security, law enforcement,
foreign policy, and trade concerns.

applicants that are, or are affiliated

Pursuant to Executive Order No. 10530,
the Commission has been delegated the

Landing License Act to grant cable
landing licenses, provided that the
Commission must obtain the approval of
the State Department and seek advice
from other government agencies as
appropriate. If the collection is not

the authorizations necessary to provide
