Total Annual Burden: 1,600 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: No cost. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No

Needs and Uses: Section 80.503 

requires that a licensee of a private coast 

station or marine utility station on shore 

may install ship radio stations on board 

United States commercial transport 

vessels of other persons. In each case 

these persons must enter into a written 

agreement verifying that the ship station 

licensee has the sole right of control of 

the ship stations, that the vessel 

operators must use the ship stations 

subject to the orders and instructions of 

the coast station or marine utility station 

on shore, and that the ship station 

licensee will have sufficient control of 

the ship station to enable it to carry out 

its responsibilities under the ship 

station license. A copy of the contract/ 

written agreement must be kept with the 

station records and made available for 

inspection by Commission 

representatives. 

The information is used by FCC 

personnel during inspection and 

investigations to insure compliance 

with applicable rules. If this information 

was not available, enforcement efforts 

could be hindered; frequency 

congestion in certain bands could 

increase; and the financial viability of 

some public coast radiotelephone 

stations could be threatened.

Register on January 19, 2012 (77 FR 

2721) which became effective on

collections, as required by OMB’s 

Memorandum M–03–22 (September 26, 

2003) and by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 

552a. 

Needs and Uses: On April 6, 2011, in 

document FCC 11–56, the Commission 

released a Report and Order adopting 

final rules to implement section 719 of 

the Communications Act of 1934 (the 

Act), as amended, which was added to 

the Act by the ‘‘Twenty-First Century 

Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010’’ (CVAA). See 

Public Law 111–260, § 105. Section 719 

of the Act authorizes up to $10 million 

annually from the Interstate 

Telecommunications Relay Service 

Fund (TRS Fund) to support eligible 

programs that distribute equipment 

designed to make telecommunications 

service, Internet access service, and 

advanced communications accessible by 

low-income individuals who are deafblind. Specifically, the rules adopted in 

document FCC 11–56 established the 

National Deaf-Blind Equipment 

Distribution Program (NDBEDP) as a 

pilot program. The rules adopted in 

document FCC 11–56 have the 

following information collection 

requirements: 

(a) State equipment distribution 

programs, other public programs, and 

private entities may submit applications 

for NDBEDP certification to the 

Commission. For each state, the 

Commission certifies a single program 

as the sole authorized entity to 

participate in the NDBEDP and receive 

reimbursement from the TRS Fund. 

(b) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must submit certain programrelated data electronically to the 

Commission, as instructed by the 

NDBEDP Administrator, every six 

months, commencing with the start of 

the pilot program. 

(c) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must retain all records 

associated with the distribution of 

equipment and provision of related 

services under the NDBEDP for two 

years following the termination of the 

pilot program. 

(d) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must obtain verification that 

NDBEDP applicants meet the definition 

of an individual who is deaf-blind. 

(e) Each program certified under the 

NDBEDP must obtain verification that 

NDBEDP applicants meet the income 

eligibility requirements. 

(f) Programs certified under the 

NDBEDP are reimbursed for the cost of 

equipment that has been distributed to 

eligible individuals and authorized 

related services, up to the state’s 

funding allotment under this program. 

Within 30 days after the end of each sixmonth period of the Fund Year, each 

program certified under the NDBEDP 

pilot must submit documentation that 

supports its claim for reimbursement of 

the reasonable costs of equipment and 

related services. 

On March 20, 2012 in document DA 

12–430, the Commission released an 

Order to conditionally waive the 

requirement in section (f), above, for 

NDBEDP certified programs to submit 

reimbursement claims at the end of each 

six-month period of the TRS Fund Year 

to permit certified programs to submit 

reimbursement claims as frequently as 

monthly. Each certified program that 

wishes to take advantage of this waiver 

to elect a monthly or quarterly 

reimbursement schedule, must notify 

the TRS Fund Administrator of its 

election at the start of each Fund Year, 

and must maintain that schedule for the 

duration of the Year.
