Estimated Time per Response: 0.084
hours (5 minutes)–4 hours per response.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
annual and every five year reporting
requirements, recordkeeping
requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 4, 303, 309,
332 and 362 of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 10,333 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Needs and Uses: The requirements
contained in 47 CFR 80.59 of the
Commission’s rules are necessary to
implement the provisions of section
362(b) of the Communications Act of
934, as amended, which require the
Commission to inspect the radio
installation of large cargo ships and
certain passenger ships at least once a
year to ensure that the radio installation
is in compliance with the requirements
of the Communications Act.
Further, section 80.59(d) states that
the Commission may, upon a finding
that the public interest would be served,
grant a waiver of the annual inspection
required by section 362(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, for a
period of not more than 90 days for the
sole purpose of enabling the United
States vessel to complete its voyage and
proceed to a port in the United States
where an inspection can be held. An
information application must be
submitted by the ship’s owner, operator
or authorized agent. The application
must be submitted to the Commission’s
District Director or Resident Agent in
charge of the FCC office nearest the port
of arrival at least three days before the
ship’s arrival. The application must
provide specific information that is in
rule section 80.59.
Additionally, the Communications
Act requires the inspection of small
passenger ships at least once every five
years.
The Safety Convention (to which the
United States is a signatory) also
requires an annual inspection.
The Commission allows FCC-licensed
technicians to conduct these
inspections. FCC-licensed technicians
certify that the ship has passed an
inspection and issue a safety certificate.
These safety certificates, FCC Forms
806, 824, 827 and 829 indicate that the
vessel complies with the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended and the Safety Convention.
These technicians are required to
provide a summary of the results of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

inspection in the ship’s log that the
inspection was satisfactory.
Inspection certificates issued in
accordance with the Safety Convention
must be posted in a prominent and
accessible place on the ship (third party
disclosure requirement).

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC or
Commission) invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collections.
Comments are requested concerning:
Whether the proposed 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 FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB
control number.
DATES: Written PRA comments should
be submitted on or before June 22, 2018.
If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contact listed below as soon
as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–1063.
Title: Global Mobile Personal
Communications by Satellite (GMPCS)
Authorization, Marketing and
Importation Rules.
Form No.: Not Applicable.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved information
collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents: 17
respondents; 17 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1–24
hours per response.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The
Commission has authority for this
information collection pursuant to
Sections 4(i), 301, 302(a), 303(e), 303(f),
303(g), 303(n) and 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended; 47 U.S.C. 4(i), 301, 302(a),
303(e), 303(f), 303(g), 303(n) and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 595 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: None.
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.
Needs and Uses: On July 14, 2017, the
Federal Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) released a First Report
and Order titled, ‘‘In the Matter of
Amendment of Parts 0, 1, 2, 15 and 18
of the Commission’s Rules Regarding
Authorization of Radiofrequency
Equipment,’’ ET Docket No. 15–170
(FCC 17–93). In the First Report and
Order, the Commission discontinued
use of the ‘‘Statement Regarding the
Importation of Radio Frequency Devices
Capable of Harmful Interference,’’ (FCC
Form 740) and eliminated 47 CFR
2.1205 and 2.1203(b), thus removing the
Form 740 filing requirements. The
agency concluded that there was no
evidence indicating that the Form 740
filing process provided a substantial
deterrent to illegal importation of RF
devices, and that the existing filing
requirement creates large burdens in
light of the growth in the number and
type of RF devices being imported, and
that there is now a wider availability of
product and manufacturer information,
including that available to the FCC from
the Custom and Border Protection’s
(CBP) database. The Form 740 was

approved under OMB Control No. 3060–
0059 and was under the purview of the
Commission’s Office of Engineering &
Technology (OET).
The purposes of the revision of OMB
Control No. 3060–1063 are to reflect a
slight decrease in the number of satellite
operators and/or GMPCS equipment
manufacturers and changes resulting
from the elimination of Form 740.
Specifically, the number of respondents
changed from 19 to 17 due to a decrease
in the number of satellite operators and/
or GMPCS equipment manufacturers. As
a result of the elimination of the Form
740, the total annual burden hours
changed from 684 to 595 and the total
annual costs decreased from $13,110 to
zero.
The purpose of this information
collection is to maintain OMB approval
of a certification requirement for
portable GMPCS transceivers to prevent
interference, reduce radio-frequency
(‘‘RF’’) radiation exposure risk, and
make regulatory treatment of portable
GMPCS transceivers consistent with
treatment of similar terrestrial wireless
devices, such as cellular phones.
The Commission is requiring that
applicants obtain authorization for the
equipment by submitting an application
and exhibits, including test data. If the
Commission did not obtain such
information, it would not be able to
ascertain whether the equipment meets
the FCC’s technical standards for
operation in the United States.
Furthermore, the data is required to
ensure that the equipment will not
cause catastrophic interference to other
telecommunications services that may
impact the health and safety of
American citizens.
