The following information collection requirements need OMB review and approval:                

Section 63.19(a)(1) states that the carrier shall notify all affected customers of the planned discontinuance, reduction or impairment at least 30 days prior to its planned action. Notice shall be in writing to each affected customer unless the Commission authorizes in advance, for good cause shown, another form of notice.

Section 63.19(a)(2) states that the carrier shall file with this Commission a copy of the notification on the date on which notice has been given to all affected customers. The filing may be made by letter (sending an original and five copies to the Office of the Secretary, and a copy to the Chief, International Bureau) and shall identify the geographic areas of the planned discontinuance, reduction or impairment and the authorization(s) pursuant to which the carrier provides service.

Section 63.24(c) requires that a transfer of control is a transaction in which the authorization remains held by the same entity, but there is a change in the entity or entities that control the authorization holder. A change from less than 50 percent ownership to 50 percent or more ownership shall always be considered a transfer of control. A change from 50 percent or more ownership to less than 50 percent ownership shall always be considered a transfer of control. In all other situations, whether the interest being transferred is controlling must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Once a carrier determines that there has been a transfer of control, it must file an application with the Commission.

*Needs and Uses:*                     On November 2, 2010, the Commission released a Recon Order titled, “In the Matter of Amendment of Parts 1 and 63 of the Commission's Rules,” IB Docket No. 04-47, FCC 10-187. In this Recon Order, the Commission amended its cable landing license application rules and application procedures to require applicants to certify their compliance with the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), as amended, 16 U.S.C. Section 1456. The goal of the CZMA is to preserve, protect, develop and, where possible, restore and enhance the national's coastal resources. Therefore, 47 CFR Section 1.767(k)(4) states that cable landing license applicants must furnish a certification to the Commission that the applicant is not required to submit a consistency certification with any state pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act.
