63.24, 63.25 and 1.1311.'' This information collection is being revised 
to receive OMB approval for information collection requirements that 
were adopted in the Matter of Amendment of Parts 1 and 63 of the 
Commission's Rules, IB Docket No. 04-47; FCC 07-118 on June 20, 2007 
(released June 22, 2007). 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.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0944.
    Title: Cable Landing License Act, 47 CFR 1.767 and 1.768; Executive 
Order 10530.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 255 respondents; 255 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1-16 hours (average).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third 
party disclosure requirement and quarterly reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in the 
Submarine Cable Landing License Act of 1921, Executive Order 10530, 47 
U.S.C. 34-39, 151, 154(i), 154(j), 155, 225, 303(r), 309 and 325(e).
    Total Annual Burden: 534 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $268,545.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.

    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.
