determination of compensation rates are
true and correct.
(2) VRS providers shall: (a) Submit to
the Commission and the TRS Fund

47 CFR 64.604(c)(5)(iii)(D)(1), (6).
OMB Control No.: 3060–1124.
Title: 80.231, Technical Requirements
for Class B Automatic Identification
System (AIS) Equipment.
Form No.: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents: 20
respondents; 50,020 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour
per requirement.
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 contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 303,
307(e), 309 and 332 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended.
Total Annual Burden: 50,020 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $25,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On September 19,
2008, the Commission adopted a Second
Report and Order, FCC 08–208, which
added a new section 80.231, which
requires that manufacturers of Class B
Automatic Identification Systems (AIS)
transmitters for the Marine Radio
Service include with each transmitting
device a statement explaining how to
enter static information accurately and a
warning statement that entering
inaccurate information is prohibited.
The Commission is seeking to extend
this collection in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance from OMB.
Specifically, the information collection
requires that manufacturers of AIS
transmitters label each transmitting
device with the following statement:
WARNING: It is a violation of the rules
of the Federal Communications
Commission to input an MMSI that has
not been properly assigned to the end
user, or to otherwise input any
inaccurate data in this device.
Additionally, prior to submitting a
certification application (FCC Form 731,
OMB Control Number 3060–0057) for a
Class B AIS device, the following
PO 00000
Frm 00029

information must be submitted in
duplicate to the Commandant (CG–521),
U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 2nd Street SW,
Washington, DC 20593–0001: (1) The
name of the manufacturer or grantee and
the model number of the AIS device;
and (2) copies of the test report and test
data obtained from the test facility
showing that the device complies with
the environmental and operational
requirements identified in IEC 62287–1.
After reviewing the information
described in the certification
application, the U.S. Coast Guard will
issue a letter stating whether the AIS
device satisfies all of the requirements
specified in IEC 62287–1. A certification
application for an AIS device submitted
to the Commission must contain a copy
of the U.S. Coast Guard letter stating
that the device satisfies all of the
requirements specified in IEC–62287–1,
a copy of the technical test data and the
instruction manual(s).
These reporting and third-party
disclosure requirements aid the
Commission monitoring advance marine
vessel tracking and navigation
information transmitted from Class B
AIS devices to ensure that they are
accurate and reliable, while promoting
marine safety.
