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 of 1995 (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 collection(s).
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 June 24, 2024. If
you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments but find it
difficult to do so within the period of
time 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 to PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060–0228.
Title: Section 80.59, Compulsory Ship
Inspections and Ship Inspection
Certificates, FCC Forms 806, 824, 827,
and 829.
Form No.: FCC Forms 806, 824, 827,
and 829.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and
State, local, or tribal government.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 10,150 respondents and
15,175 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: The
actual inspection will take
approximately 4 hours to complete. An
FCC ship safety certificate will take
approximately 0.083 hours (5 minutes)
to complete. Providing an entry in the
ship’s log will take an inspector and
ship operator/owner approximately 0.25
hours (15 minutes) each to complete.
These estimates are based on FCC staff’s
knowledge and familiarity with the
availability of the data required.
Approximately 100 requests for a waiver
of the required annual inspection are
received each year from the licensees of
large oceangoing vessels returning from
a foreign port; it is estimated than an
engineer or communications specialists
would spend two hours preparing such
a waiver request. Therefore, the range
for completing the information
collection requirements is 0.083 hours–
4 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
annual, and every five-year reporting
requirements, recordkeeping
requirement, and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required for
regulatory or compliance. The statutory
authority for this collection 47 U.S.C.
154, 303, 307(e), 309 and 332, unless
noted.
Total Annual Burden: 23,229 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The requirements
contained in § 80.59 are necessary to
implement the provisions of section
362(b) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, which require the
Commission to inspect the radio
installation of large cargo ships and
certain passenger ships at least once a
year to ensure that the radio installation
is in compliance with the
Communications Act.
Additionally, section 385 of the
Communications Act requires the

inspection of small passenger ships at
least once every five years, and Subpart
T of Part 80 of the Commission’s rules
requires the inspection of certain vessels
operating in the Great Lakes at least
once every 48 months.
The Safety Convention—an
international treaty (to which the United
States (U.S.) is a signatory)—also
requires an annual inspection. The
Safety Convention permits an
Administrator to entrust the inspections
to either surveyors nominated for the
purpose or to organizations recognized
by it. Therefore, the U.S. can have other
parties conduct the radio inspection of
vessels for compliance with the Safety
Convention.
The Commission allows FCC-licensed
technicians to conduct these
inspections. FCC-licensed technicians
not only certify that the ship passed an
inspection, but also issue a safety
certificate. These safety certificates (FCC
Forms 806, 824, 827, and 829) indicate
that the vessel complies with the
Communications Act, the Commission’s
rules, and the Safety Convention. These
technicians are required to provide a
summary of the results of the inspection
in the ship’s log. In addition, the
vessel’s owner, operator, or ship’s
master must certify in the ship’s log that
the inspection was satisfactory.
Inspection certificates issued in
accordance with the Safety Convention
must be posted in a prominent and
accessible place on the ship.
Further, § 80.59(d) states that the
Commission may, upon a finding that
the public interest would be served,
grant a waiver of the annual inspection
required by section 362(b) of the
Communications Act, for a period of not
more than 90 days for the sole purpose
of enabling a U.S. vessel to complete its
voyage and proceed to a port in the U.S.
when an inspection can be held. An
information application must be
submitted by a ship’s owner, operator,
or authorized agent. The application
must be electronically submitted to the
FCC Headquarters (via email to
Ghassan.Khalek@fcc.gov, Katie.Knox@
fcc.gov, Kathleen.Curameng@fcc.gov,
and Thomas.Derenge@fcc.gov) at least
three days before the ship’s arrival. The
application must provide specific
information that is contained in § 80.59.
The forms to be completed are FCC
Forms 806, 824, 827, and 829.
The Commission seeks revision of this
OMB control number due to recent
amendments to the Safety Convention
by way of Resolution Marine Safety
Committee (MSC) 496(105) that was
adopted on April 28, 2022; as a result
of SOLAS revisions of its Passenger
Ship Safety Certificate and Cargo Ship
