In addition, ACS telephonic CPE must be labeled as required by ACTA. • New § 68.502(b)–(d) of the Commission’s rules requires responsible parties to: Warrant that ACS telephonic CPE complies with applicable regulations and technical criteria; give the user instructions required by ACTA for ACS telephonic CPE that is hearing aid compatible; give the user a notice for ACS telephonic CPE that is not hearing aid compatible; and notify the purchaser or user of ACS telephonic CPE whose approval is revoked, that the purchaser or user must discontinue its use. • New § 68.503 of the Commission’s rules requires manufacturers of ACS telephonic CPE to designate an agent for service of process for complaints that may be filed at the FCC. OMB Control No.: 3060–0678. Title: Part 25 of the Federal Communications Commission’s Rules: Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage by, Commercial Earth Stations and Space Stations. Form Nos.: FCC Form 312; Schedule A; Schedule B; Schedule S; FCC Form 312–EZ; FCC Form 312–R. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information collection. Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities. Number of Respondents: 5,036 respondents; 5,094 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 0.5–80 hours per response. Frequency of Response: On occasion, one time, and annual reporting requirements; third-party disclosure requirement; recordkeeping requirement. Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for this collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309, 310, 319, 332, 605, and 721. Total Annual Burden: 35,622 hours. Annual Cost Burden: $12,411,120. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s). Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. Certain information collected regarding international coordination of satellite systems is not routinely available for public inspection VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:08 Mar 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(b) and 47 CFR 0.457(d)(vii). Needs and Uses: On September 27, 2017, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 17–122, titled, ‘‘Update to Parts 2 and 25 Concerning NonGeostationary, Fixed-Satellite Service Systems and Related Matters.’’ In this Report and Order, the Commission updated and streamlined its rules governing satellite constellations that operate in the fixed-satellite service. Many of the amendments are substantive changes intended to give licensees greater operational flexibility. At the same time, however, many more applications for non-geostationary, fixed-satellite service systems have been filed, increasing the overall information collection burden. The information collection requirements in this collection are needed to determine the technical, legal, and other qualifications of applicants and licensees to operate a radio station and to determine whether grant of an authorization serves the public interest, convenience and necessity. Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to permit respondents to provide communications services in the United States. Therefore, the Commission would not be able to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the World Trade Organization Basic Telecom Agreement.
