Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 57 / Monday, March 25, 2019 / Notices
overall paperwork burdens for operators
of earth stations in motion, serving the
public interest by streamlining the
collection of information and allow the
Commission to authorize routine
licensing of ESIM operations in the Kaband while protecting the interests of
FSS operators.
Specifically, FCC 18–138 contains
new or modified information collection
requirements listed below:
(1) Earth Stations on Vessel (ESV),
Vehicle-Mounted Earth Station (VMES)
and Earth Station Aboard Aircraft
(ESAA) requirements previously
incorporated in 25.221, 25.222, 25.226
and 25.227 have been streamlined and
are in the new ESIMs section 25.228.
(2) Minor discrepancies between the
previous rules in 25.221, 25.222, 25.226
and 25.227 were harmonized in the new
section 25.228.
(3) The antenna pointing accuracy
requirement contained in the individual
ESV, VMES, and ESAA rules in Sections
25.221, 25.222, 25.226, and 25.227 were
eliminated.
(4) Cross references to the previous
rules in 25.221, 25.222, 25.226 and
25.227 were eliminated from footnotes
to the Table of Allocations, 47 CFR
2.106 and all other rule sections in Part
25.
(5) The off-axis equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP)
density provisions of Section 25.138
were merged into Section 25.218, thus
extending the applicability of Section
25.218 to conventional Ka-band GSO
FSS earth stations. This applies a single
set of limits across all types of FSS earth
station, including those on mobile
platforms, and increases the number of
applicants who are considered ‘‘twodegree-spacing compliant,’’ and the
operators of their target space stations
are not required to coordinate the
operation of these earth stations with
operators of nearby space stations.
(6) Sections 25.130 and 25.131 were
merged into Section 25.115, eliminating
duplication of rules and making use of
the FCC Form 312 EZ permissive, not
mandatory.
(7) The data logging requirements that
were in paragraphs (a)(5) of Sections
25.221 and 25.222 for C- and Ku-band
ESV operators and in paragraphs (a)(6)
of Sections 25.226 and 25.227 for Kuband VMES and ESAA operators were
eliminated.
(8) The option to use the alternative
licensing compliance demonstration of
demonstrating that an earth station
antenna gain pattern comports with the
off-axis gain limits in Section 25.209,
and that the antenna input power
density comports with limits in Section
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
25.212, was extended to ESIM
applications.
(9) The certification for a C-band ESV
system in Section 25.221(b)(3)(v)
regarding compliance with the power
limits in Section 25.204(h) is eliminated
as no longer necessary.
(10) Sections 25.115(l)–(n)(3)(i)
requires all applicants to: ‘‘provide a
certification that the ESIM system is
capable of detecting and automatically
ceasing emissions when an individual
ESIM transmitter exceeds the relevant
off-axis EIRP spectral density limits
specified in § 25.218, or the limits
provided to the target satellite operator
for operation under § 25.220’’ in lieu of
a demonstration.
This collection is used by the
Commission’s staff in carrying out its
statutory duties to regulate satellite
communications in the public interest,
as generally provided under 47
U.S.C.154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309, 310,
319, 332, 605, and 721. This collection
is also used by staff in carrying out
United States treaty obligations under
the World Trade Organization (WTO)
Basic Telecom Agreement. The
information collected is used for the
practical and necessary purposes of
assessing the legal, technical, and other
qualifications of applicants; determining
compliance by applicants, licensees,
and other grantees with Commission
rules and the terms and conditions of
their grants; and concluding whether,
and under what conditions, grant of an
authorization will serve the public
interest, convenience, and necessity.
As technology advances and new
spectrum is allocated for satellite use,
applicants for satellite service will
continue to submit the information
required in 47 CFR part 25 of the
Commission’s rules. Without such
information, the Commission could not
determine whether to permit
respondents to provide
telecommunication services in the
United States. Therefore, the
Commission would be unable to fulfill
its statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, and the
obligations imposed on parties to the
WTO Basic Telecom Agreement.

by the Federal Communications
Commission
Federal Communications
Commission.
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 (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 comments should be
submitted on or before May 24, 2019. If
you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it
difficult to do so within the time period
allowed by this notice, you should
advise the contacts below as soon as
possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions,
and State, local, or Tribal governments.

Responses: 6,570 respondents; 232,183
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5
hour–10 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion

authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151 and the
Telecommunications Act of 1996,
Public Law 104–104.
Total Annual Burden: 166,185 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: There
are no impacts under the Privacy Act.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: This information
facilitates efficient interaction between
premises owners and local exchange
carriers (LECs) regarding the placement
of the demarcation point, which marks
the end of wiring under control of the
LEC and the beginning of wiring under
the control of the premises owner or
subscriber. The demarcation point is a
critical point of interconnection where
competitive LECs can gain access to the
inside wiring of the building to provide
service to customers in the building.
This collection also helps ensure that
customer-end antennas used for
telecommunications service comply
with the Commission’s limits on
radiofrequency exposure and provides
the Commission with information on
the state of the market. In short, this
collection helps foster competition in
local telecommunications markets by
ensuring that competing
telecommunications providers can
provide services to customers in
multiple tenant environments.
