Total Annual Burden: 1,830 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $524,400.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In submitting the information request,
respondents may need to disclose
confidential information to satisfy the
requirements. However, covered entities
would be free to request that such
materials submitted to the Commission
be withheld from public inspection (see
47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission’s
rules).
Privacy Impact Assessment: No
impacts(s).
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting a threeyear extension of OMB Control No.
3060–1163 titled, Regulations
Applicable to Broadcast, Common
Carrier and Aeronautical Radio
Licensees Under Section 310(b)(4) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Section 310(b)(4) of the Act requires
that the Commission pass upon the
propriety of foreign ownership of U.S.
parent companies that control common
carrier and aeronautical radio licensees
before such ownership exceeds 25
percent. The Commission’s section
310(b)(3) forbearance approach
(applicable to common carrier licensees
only) requires that the Commission pass
upon the propriety of foreign ownership
of common carrier radio licensees before
such ownership exceeds 20 percent. The
information collection will preserve the
Commission’s ability to disallow foreign
investment that may pose a risk of harm
to competition or national security, law
enforcement, foreign policy, or trade
policy.
If the information collection were not
conducted or were conducted less
frequently than proposed, the
Commission would not be able to carry
out its statutory mandate under section
310(b) of the Act, and its section
310(b)(3) forbearance policy, to disallow
foreign investment that the Commission
finds would be contrary to the U.S.
public interest. In particular, the
Commission would lack the information
it needs to determine whether proposed
foreign investment in U.S. broadcast,
common carrier, and aeronautical radio
licensees may pose a risk of harm to
competition or national security, law
enforcement, foreign policy, or trade
policy.

Total Annual Burden: 20,096 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $100,415.
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: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a three-year extension of
the information collection titled ‘‘Part
73, Subpart F International Broadcast
Stations’’ under OMB Control No. 3060–
1035. This information collection is
used by the Commission to assign
frequencies for use by international
broadcast stations, to grant authority to
operate such stations and to determine
if interference or adverse propagation
conditions exist that may impact the
operation of such stations. The
Commission collects this information
pursuant to 47 CFR part 73, subpart F.
If the Commission did not collect this
information, it would not be in a
position to effectively coordinate
spectrum for international broadcasters
or to act for entities in times of
frequency interference or adverse
propagation conditions. Therefore, the
information collection requirements are
as follows:
FCC Form 309—Application for
Authority to Construct or Make Changes
in an International, Experimental
Television, Experimental Facsimile, or a
Developmental Broadcast Station—The
FCC Form 309 is filed on occasion when
the applicant is requesting authority to
construct or make modifications to the
international broadcast station.
FCC Form 310—Application for an
International, Experimental Television,
Experimental Facsimile, or a
Developmental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 310 is filed on
occasion when the applicant is
submitting an application for a new
international broadcast station.
FCC Form 311—Application for
Renewal of an International or
Experimental Broadcast Station
License—The FCC Form 311 is filed by
applicants who are requesting renewal
of their international broadcast station
licenses.
47 CFR 73.702(a) states that six
months prior to the start of each season,
licensees and permittees shall by
informal written request, submitted to
the Commission in triplicate, indicate
for the season the frequency or
frequencies desired for transmission to
each zone or area of reception specified
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
in the license or permit, the specific
hours during which it desires to
transmit to such zones or areas on each
frequency, and the power, antenna gain,
and antenna bearing it desires to use.
Requests will be honored to the extent
that interference and propagation
conditions permit and that they are
otherwise in accordance with the
provisions of section 47 CFR 73.702(a).
47 CFR 73.702(b) states that two
months before the start of each season,
the licensee or permittee must inform
the Commission in writing as to
whether it plans to operate in
accordance with the Commission’s
authorization or operate in another
manner.
47 CFR 73.702(c) permits entities to
file requests for changes to their original
request for assignment and use of
frequencies if they are able to show
good cause. Because international
broadcasters are assigned frequencies on
a seasonal basis, as opposed to the full
term of their eight-year license
authorization, requests for changes need
to be filed by entities on occasion.
47 CFR 73.702 (note) states that
permittees who during the process of
construction wish to engage in
equipment tests shall by informal
written request, submitted to the
Commission in triplicate not less than
30 days before they desire to begin such
testing, indicate the frequencies they
desire to use for testing and the hours
they desire to use those frequencies.
47 CFR 73.702(e) states within 14
days after the end of each season, each
licensee or permittee must file a report
with the Commission stating whether
the licensee or permittee has operated
the number of frequency hours
authorized by the seasonal schedule to
each of the zones or areas of reception
specified in the schedule.
47 CFR 73.782 requires that licensees
retain logs of international broadcast
stations for two years. If it involves
communications incident to a disaster,
logs should be retained as long as
required by the Commission.
47 CFR 73.759(d) states that the
licensee or permittee must keep records
of the time and results of each auxiliary
transmitter test performed at least
weekly.
47 CFR 73.762(b) requires that
licensees notify the Commission in
writing of any limitation or
discontinuance of operation of not more
than 10 days.
47 CFR 73.762(c) states that the
licensee or permittee must request and
receive specific authority from the
Commission to discontinue operations
for more than 10 days under extenuating
circumstances.

The Commission requests this
information in order to make
recommendations to the U.S.
Department of State for granting
recognized private operating agency
(RPOA) status to requesting entities. The
Commission does not require entities to
request RPOA status. Rather, this is a
voluntary application process for use by
companies that believe that obtaining
RPOA status will be beneficial in
persuading foreign governments to
allow them to conduct business abroad.
RPOA status also permits companies to
join the International
Telecommunication Union’s (ITU’s)
Telecommunications Sector, which is
the standards-setting body of the ITU.
The information furnished in RPOA
requests is collected pursuant to 47 CFR

Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted as an extension (no change
in reporting or recordkeeping
requirements) after this 60-day comment
period to Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance. A Data Network
Identification Code (DNIC) is a unique,
four-digit number designed to provide
discrete identification of individual
public data networks. The DNIC is
intended to identify and permit
automated switching of data traffic to
particular networks. The FCC grants the
DNICs to operators of public data
networks on an international protocol.
The operators of public data networks
file an application for a DNIC on the
internet-based, International Bureau
Filing System (IBFS). The DNIC is
obtained free of charge on a one-time
only basis unless there is a change in
ownership or the owner chooses to
relinquish the code to the FCC. The
Commission’s lack of an assignment of
DNICs to operators of public data
networks would result in technical
problems that prevent the identification
and automated switching of data traffic
to particular networks.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need

Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission
(``Commission'') is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a three-year extension of the information collection
titled ``Part 73, Subpart F International Broadcast Stations'' under
OMB Control No. 3060-1035. This information collection is used by the
Commission to assign frequencies for use by international broadcast
stations, to grant authority to operate such stations and to determine
if interference or adverse propagation conditions exist that may impact
the operation of such stations. The Commission collects this
information pursuant to 47 CFR part 73, subpart F. If the Commission
did not collect this information, it would not be in a position to
effectively coordinate spectrum for international broadcasters or to
act for entities in times of frequency interference or adverse
propagation conditions. Therefore, the information collection
requirements are as follows:
FCC Form 309--Application for Authority to Construct or Make
Changes in an International, Experimental Television, Experimental
Facsimile, or a Developmental Broadcast Station--The FCC Form 309 is
filed on occasion when the applicant is requesting authority to
construct or make modifications to the international broadcast station.
FCC Form 310--Application for an International, Experimental
Television, Experimental Facsimile, or a Developmental Broadcast
Station License--The FCC Form 310 is filed on occasion when the
applicant is submitting an application for a new international
broadcast station.
FCC Form 311--Application for Renewal of an International or
Experimental Broadcast Station License--The FCC Form 311 is filed by
applicants who are requesting renewal of their international broadcast
station licenses.
47 CFR 73.702(a) states that six months prior to the start of each
season, licensees and permittees shall by informal written request,
submitted to the Commission in triplicate, indicate for the season the
frequency or frequencies desired for transmission to each zone or area
of reception specified in the license or permit, the specific hours
during which it desires to transmit to such zones or areas on each
frequency, and the power, antenna gain, and antenna bearing it desires
to use. Requests will be honored to the extent that interference and
propagation conditions permit and that they are otherwise in accordance
with the provisions of section 47 CFR 73.702(a).
47 CFR 73.702(b) states that two months before the start of each
season, the licensee or permittee must inform the Commission in writing
as to whether it plans to operate in accordance with the Commission's
authorization or operate in another manner.
47 CFR 73.702(c) permits entities to file requests for changes to
their original request for assignment and use of frequencies if they
are able to show good cause. Because international broadcasters are
assigned frequencies on a seasonal basis, as opposed to the full term
of their eight-year license authorization, requests for changes need to
be filed by entities on occasion.
47 CFR 73.702 (note) states that permittees who during the process
of construction wish to engage in equipment tests shall by informal
written request, submitted to the Commission in triplicate not less
than 30 days before they desire to begin such testing, indicate the
