Information Collection Being
Submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as

Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Commission’s burden estimate;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected;
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25
employees.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number.

Total Annual Burden: 3,152 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $752,400.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission has not granted
assurances of confidentiality to those
parties submitting the information,
except for the list or routes required
under 47 CFR 63.22(h) which the
Commission will treat as not routinely
available for public inspection. In all the
other cases where a respondent believes
information requires confidentiality, the
respondent can request confidential
treatment under Section 0.459 of the
Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 0.459.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a revision of OMB
Control No. 3060–0686 titled,
‘‘International Section 214
Authorization Process and Tariff
Requirements—47 CFR Sections 63.10,
63.11, 63.13, 63.18, 63.19, 63.21, 63.24,
63.25 and 1.1311.’’ The purpose of this
revision is to obtain OMB approval for
the reporting requirements under newly
adopted 47 CFR 63.22(h), which
requires facilities-based international
service providers electronically to
submit, and maintain, a list of routes on
which they have direct termination
arrangements with a foreign carrier. In
addition, this list maybe used to initiate
targeted data collections regarding those
routes. Finally, we remove from this
collection the requirements related to 47
U.S.C. 310(b) which are now included
in the collection under OMB Control
No. 3060–1163.
The current title of OMB Control No.
3060–0686 is ‘‘International Section 214
Process and Tariff Requirements—47
CFR Sections 63.10, 63.11, 63.13, 63.18,
63.19, 63.21, 63.24, 63.25 and 1.1311’’.
The Commission would like to change
the title to ‘‘International Section 214
Process and Tariff Requirements—47
CFR Sections 63.10, 63.11, 63.13, 63.18,
63.19, 63.21, 63.22, 63.24, 63.25 and
1.1311’’ to reflect the addition of 47 CFR
63.22(h) to the information collection.
The information will be used by the
Commission staff in carrying out its
duties under the Communications Act.
The information collections pertaining
to Part 63 are necessary largely to
determine the qualifications of
applicants to provide common carrier
international telecommunications
service under section 214 of the
Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. 214,
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
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.
The frequency of filing applications
pursuant to Sections 214 will be
determined largely by the applicant
seeking to provide U.S international
common carrier service under section
214 of the Communications Act, 47
U.S.C. 214. Carriers will also determine
largely the frequency of filing under the
other rules included in this collection,
with the exception of the quarterly
reports required of certain carriers
under 47 CFR 63.10(c) and the list of
routes for which a facilities-based
international service provider must
make a one-time filing and update as
necessary under 47 CFR 63.22(h). 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 Telecommunications
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.
Regarding 47 CFR 63.11, carriers
determine largely when to notify the
Commission of planned investments by
or in foreign carriers. If the information
is not collected by the Commission, we
will not be able to prevent carriers that
control bottleneck facilities in foreign
countries from using those bottlenecks
to discriminate against unaffiliated U.S.
carriers.
