responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .25

authority for this Information collection
is in 47 U.S.C. 154, 303, 307(e), 309 and

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

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

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.

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.
