Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 247 / Monday, December 27, 2004 / Notices 77247

Individuals with Hearing and Speech 

Disabilities, CG Docket No. 03–123, FCC 

04–137, that addressed a number of 

outstanding issues with respect to VRS 

and IP Relay, none of which have any 

implications under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0874. 

Title: Slamming Complaint Form, FCC 

Form 475. 

Form Number: FCC 475. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit 

entities; Not-for-profit institutions; 

Federal government; State, local or 

Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 83,287. 

Estimated Time per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 41,644 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: None. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Needs and Use: FCC Form 475 allows 

the Commission to collect detailed data 

from consumers of the practices of 

common carriers. The information 

contained in the collection also allows 

consumers to provide the FCC with the 

relevant information required to help 

consumers develop a concise statement 

outlining the issue in dispute. The 

Commission uses the information to 

assist in resolving informal complaints 

and the collect data required to assess 

the practices of common carriers. The 

Commission has revised FCC Form 475, 

Consumer Complaint Form to 

consolidate and streamline the data 

requirements. In particular, consumers 

using FCC Form 475 need only prepare 

and submit this single document instead 

of submitting multiple documents to 

seek redress of their concerns; thus, the 

Commission believes that this revised 

form will significantly improve the 

complaint process for consumers, 

common carriers, and the FCC staff.

Telecommunications Bureau Radio 

Service Authorization. 

Form No: FCC Form 601. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, business or other for-profit, 

not-for-profit institutions, and state, 

local and tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 250,520. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .5—

and every ten year reporting 

requirements, third party disclosure 

requirement and recordkeeping

Total Annual Burden: 219,205 hours.

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. 

Needs and Uses: FCC Form 601 is a 

multi-purpose form used to apply for an 

authorization to operate radio stations, 

amend pending applications, modify 

existing licenses and perform a variety 

of other miscellaneous tasks in the 

Public Mobile Services, Personal 

Communications Services, General 

Wireless Communications Services, 

Private Land Mobile Radio Services, 

Broadcast Auxiliary Services, Fixed 

Microwave Services, Maritime Services 

(excluding ships), and Aviation Services 

(excluding aircraft). The FCC Form 601

of the frequencies in the 764–776 and 

794–806 MHz bands pursuant to Part

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

requesting an extension (no change) to

in costs for outside legal and 

engineering assistance changed from 

$150 to $200 per hour. As a result, the 

OMB 83i and supporting statement 

reflects an adjustment of +$50,000. 

Additionally, we recalculated our 

estimate for the total annual burden 

hours. In the International E-Filing 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM), the Commission sought 

comment on eliminating paper filings 

and requiring applicants to file 

electronically all applications and other 

filings related to international 

telecommunications services via the 

International Bureau Filing System 

(IBFS). Among other proposals, the 

Commission proposed the development

that impact this information collection. 

They include, but are not limited to, the 

following forms: (1) Submarine Cable

Notification—notification of specific 

description of the landing stations in the 

U.S. and foreign countries where the 

cable will land; and (4) SCL Transfer of

transfer control of a license. The 

projected completion date for these 

applications is December 31, 2005. It is 

anticipated that the Commission will 

adopt and release a Report and Order in 

2005 to implement decisions proposed 

in the NPRM. The specific decisions are
