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 FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .25 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third-
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this Information collection is in 47 U.S.C. 
154, 303, 307(e), 309 and 332 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended. The reporting requirement is contained in international 
agreements and ITU-R M.541.9.
    Total Annual Burden: 10,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The FCC maintains a system of 
records notice (SORN), FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing 
Records'' that covers the collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, 
and disposal of the PII that marine VHF radio licensees maintain under 
47 CFR 80.103.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is a need for 
confidentiality with respect to all owners of Marine VHF radios with 
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) capability in this collection. The 
licensee records will be publicly available and routinely used in 
accordance with subsection (b) of the Privacy Act of 1974. FRN numbers 
and material which is afforded confidential treatment pursuant to a 
request made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules will not be 
available for public inspection. Any personally identifiable

vessel with a private entity issuing marine mobile service identities 
(MMSI). The information would be used by search and rescue personnel to 
identify vessels in distress and to select the proper rescue units and 
search methods.
    The requirement to collect this information is contained in 
international agreements with the U.S. Coast Guard and private sector 
entities that issue MMSI's.
    The information is used by private entities to maintain a database 
used to provide information about the vessel owner in distress using 
marine VHF radios with DSC capability. If the data were not collected, 
the U.S. Coast Guard would not have access to this information which 
would increase the time and effort needed to complete a search and 
rescue operation.
