FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0264]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), 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 collections. 
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 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 4, 
2015. 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 contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#05555744456366662b626a73"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0c5c5e4d4c6a6f6f226b637a">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#edae8c998594c3ba848181848c809ead8b8e8ec38a829b"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b1f2d0c5d9c89fe6d8ddddd8d0dcc2f1d7d2d29fd6dec7">[email protected]</span></a>.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 154, 303, 307(e), 309 and 332 and 151-155 and sections 301-609 
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension of this 
expiring information collection in order to obtain the full three year 
approval from OMB. There is no change to the recordkeeping requirement.
    Section 80.413 requires the licensee of an on-board station to keep 
equipment records which show:
    (1) The ship name and identification of the on-board station;
    (2) The number of and type of repeater and mobile units used on-
board the vessel; and
    (3) The date the type of equipment which is added or removed from 
the on-board station.
    The information is used by FCC personnel during inspections and 
investigations to determine what mobile units and repeaters are 
associated with on-board stations aboard a particular vessel. If this 
information were not maintained, no means would be available to 
determine if this type of radio equipment is authorized or who is 
responsible for its operation. Enforcement and frequency management 
programs would be negatively affected if the information were not 
retained.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of the Managing Director.
