OMB Control Number: 3060–0931.
Title: Section 80.103, Digital Selective
Calling (DSC) Operating Procedures—
Maritime Mobile Identity (MMSI).
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
entities and Federal Government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 40,000 respondents; 40,000
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 information (PII) that
individual applicants provide is covered
by a system of records, FCC/WTB–1,
‘‘Wireless Services Licensing Records’’,
and these and all other records may be
disclosed pursuant to the Routine Uses
as stated in the SORN.
Needs and Uses: The information
collected is necessary to require owners
of marine VHF radios with Digital
Selective Calling (DSC) capability to
register information such as the name,
address, type of 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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 May 21, 2018
Jkt 241001
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.

Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 329 respondents; 2,257
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.50
hours–122 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
one-time, and quarterly reporting

requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154 and
276.
Total Annual Burden: 34,720 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
The Commission is not requesting
respondents to submit confidential
information. Respondents may request
confidential treatment of their
information that they believe to be
confidential pursuant to 47 CFR 0.459 of
the Commission’s rules.
Needs and Uses: Section 276 of the
Communications Act, as amended (the
Act), requires that the Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission or FCC) establish rules
ensuring that payphone service
providers or PSPs are ‘‘fairly
compensated’’ for each and every
completed payphone-originated call.
The Commission’s Payphone
Compensation Rules satisfy section 276
by identifying the party liable for
compensation and establishing a
mechanism for PSPs to be paid. A 2003
Report and Order (FCC 03–235)
established detailed rules (Payphone
Compensation Rules) ensuring that
payphone service providers or PSPs are
‘‘fairly compensated’’ for each and every
completed payphone-originated call
pursuant to section 276 of the
Communications Act, as amended (the
Act). The Payphone Compensation
Rules satisfy section 276 by identifying
the party liable for compensation and
establishing a mechanism for PSPs to be
paid. The Payphone Compensation
Rules: (1) Place liability to compensate
PSPs for payphone-originated calls on
the facilities-based long distance

carriers or switch-based resellers (SBRs)
from whose switches such calls are
completed; (2) define these responsible
carriers as ‘‘Completing Carriers’’ and
require them to develop their own
system of tracking calls to completion;
(3) require Completing Carriers to file
with PSPs a quarterly report and also
submit an attestation by the chief
financial officer (CFO) that the payment
amount for that quarter is accurate and
is based on 100% of all completed calls;
(4) require quarterly reporting
obligations for other facilities-based
long distance carriers in the call path, if
any, and define these carriers as
‘‘Intermediate Carriers;’’ and (5) give
parties flexibility to agree to alternative
compensation arrangements (ACA) so
that small Completing Carriers may
avoid the expense of instituting a
tracking system. and undergoing an
audit. On February 22, 2018, the
Commission adopted a Report and
Order, FCC 18–21 (2018 Payphone
Order), that: (1) Eliminated the
payphone call tracking system audit and
associated reporting requirements; (2)
permitted a company official, including
but no longer limited to, the chief
financial officer (CFO), to certify that a
Completing Carrier’s quarterly
compensation payments to PSPs are
accurate and complete; and (3)
eliminated expired interim and
intermediate per-payphone
compensation rules that no longer apply
to any entity. We believe that the
revisions adopted in the 2018 Payphone
Order significantly decrease the
paperwork burden on carriers.

Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This document commences a
hearing to determine whether Metro
Two-Way, LLC (Metro) is qualified to be
and to remain a Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission) licensee, and as a
consequence thereof, whether any or all
of its licenses should be revoked, and
whether its pending application should

be denied. As discussed more fully
below, based on the totality of the
evidence, there are substantial and
material questions of fact as to whether
Metro repeatedly made
misrepresentations to and lacked candor
with the Commission in its submission
of several applications in connection
with various Wireless Radio Service
authorizations.
DATES: Each party to the proceeding
(except for the Chief, Enforcement
Bureau), in person or by counsel, shall
file with the Commission, by May 23,
2018, a written appearance stating that
the party will appear on the date fixed
for hearing and present evidence on the
issues specified herein.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a
summary of the Commission’s Order to
Show Cause, Hearing Designation Order
and Notice of Opportunity for Hearing
(Order) in WTB Docket No. 18–133, DA
18–454, adopted on May 2, 2018, and
released on May 3, 2018. The full text
of the Order is available for inspection
and copying during regular business

Synopsis
1. In this Order, the Commission
commences a hearing proceeding before
a Commission Administrative Law
Judge to determine whether the pending
application of Metro Two-Way, LLC
should be granted, and whether Metro’s
licenses should be revoked. Metro
represented to the Commission in five
license applications that no party
directly or indirectly controlling Metro
has ever been convicted of a felony by
any state or federal court. The
information before us indicates that
Hector Manuel Mosquera, a party
directly or indirectly controlling Metro,
was convicted of a felony by a state
court in California.
2. Accordingly, it is ordered, pursuant
to sections 309(e), 312(a)(1), 312(a)(2),
312(a)(4), and 312(c) of the Act, 47
U.S.C. 309(e), 312(a)(1), 312(a)(2),
312(a)(4), 312(c), that Metro Two-Way,
LLC shall show cause why the
authorizations for which it is the
licensee set forth in Attachment A
should not be revoked, and that the
