Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 26, 2017 / Notices
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’)
is requesting that the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approve a three-year extension of OMB
Control No. 3060–0686. The information
is 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
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 of 1934. In addition, without the
information collections, the United
States would jeopardize its ability to
fulfill the U.S. obligations as negotiated
under the World Trade Organization
(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.
