Supplementary Information:

OMB Control No.: 3060–1061. 

Title: Earth Station on Board Vessels 

(ESV). 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 15. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours 

(average). 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 113 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $15,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Federal 

Communications Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is revising OMB 

Control No. 3060–1061 to reflect the 

decisions of the Report and Order (R&O) 

titled, ‘‘In the Matter of Procedures to 

Govern the Use of Satellite Earth 

Stations on Board Vessels (ESV) in the 

5925–6425 MHz/3700–4200 MHz Bands 

and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2 GHz 

Bands,’’ IB Docket No. 02–10, FCC 04–

286. The Commission adopted the R&O 

on December 15, 2004 and released it on 

January 6, 2005. This rulemaking 

established licensing and service rules 

for ESVs operating in the 5925–6425 

MHz/3700–4200 MHz Bands (C-band) 

and 14.0–14.5 GHz/11.7–12.2 GHz 

Bands (Ku-band). 

The R&O includes the following new 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

reporting requirements: (1) C-Band and 

Ku-Band operators (‘‘ESV operators’’) 

must collect and maintain vessel 

tracking data to assist the Commission 

and affected operators in identifying 

and resolving sources of interference; (2) 

as a condition of licensing, applicants 

proposing ESV operations in the 14.0–

14.05 GHz band and planning to travel 

within 100km of these sites, must 

coordinate through the National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration (NTIA) Interdepartment 

Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) and, 

if necessary, the appropriate 

government agency to resolve any 

potential concerns; and (3) ESV 

operators must have a contact that is 

available in the United States 24 hours 

a day, 7 days a week, to respond to 

Fixed Satellite (FS) operators’ requests. 

The name, telephone number, and other 

pertinent information of the contact will 

be posted on the Commission’s Web 

site, http://www.fcc.gov.

The Commission established licensing 

and service rules to govern ESV 

operations and to prevent interference 

to other satellite operators within the 

Ku-bands and C-bands. ESV operators 

must submit applications (FCC Form 

312) and exhibits (Schedule B) to the 

Commission to demonstrate that they 

comply with the Commission’s legal 

and/or engineering rules. Additionally, 

the Commission requires a myriad of 

technical information such as frequency 

of operation, maximum transmit power, 

antenna diameter, antenna height above 

sea level and velocity of the vessel to 

evaluate potential interference to fixed 

satellites from ESVs. The purposes of 

this information collection are as 

follows: (1) Establish licensing and 

service rules for ESVs in the Ku-band 

and C-band; (2) prevent harmful 

interference to Fixed Services (FS), 

Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) and other 

satellite services and (3) further the 

Commission’s goals to manage spectrum 

efficiently and (4) advance the provision 

of broadband telecommunications 

services that will benefit U.S. citizens 

on passenger, government (military and 

civilian), cargo and large recreational 

vessels. Without such information, the 

Commission would not be able to take 

the necessary measures to prevent 

harmful interference to satellite services 

from ESVs. Finally, the Commission 

would not be able to advance its goals 

of managing spectrum efficiently and 

promoting broadband technologies to 

benefit American consumers throughout 

the United States and abroad.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0056. 

Title: Part 68—Connection of 

Terminal Equipment to the Telephone 

Network. 

Form No: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 58,520 

respondents; 70,450 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .05—24 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement, recordkeeping 

requirement and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 32,027 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $1,160,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The purpose of 47 

CFR part 68 is to protect the telephone 

network from certain types of harm and 

interference to other subscribers. To 

ensure that consumers, providers of 

telecommunications, the Administrative 

Council, telecommunications 

certification bodies (TCBs), and the 

Commission are able to trace products 

to the party responsible for placing 

terminal equipment on the market, it is 

essential to require manufacturers and 

suppliers to provide the information 

required by part 68. In addition, it is 

necessary that incumbent local 

exchange carriers (ILECs) provide the 

information in part 68 to warn their 

subscribers of impending disconnection 

of service when subscriber terminal 

equipment is causing telephone network 

harm. The Commission is seeking 

extension (no change) to this 

information collection in order to obtain 

the full three-year clearance from OMB. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0262. 

Title: Section 90.179, Shared Use of 

Radio Stations. 

Form No: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, and 

state, local and tribal government. 

Number of Respondents: 42,000. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .75 

hours. 

Frequency of Response:

Recordkeeping requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 31,500 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

was directed by the United States 

Congress, in the Balanced Budget Act of 

1997, to dedicate 2.4 MHz of 

electromagnetic spectrum in the 746–

806 MHz band for public safety services. 

Section 90.179 requires that Part 90 

licensees that share use of their private 

land mobile radio facility on non-profit, 

cost-shared basis keep a written sharing 

agreement as part of the station records. 

Regardless of the method of sharing, an 

up-to-date list of persons who are 

sharing the station and the basis of their 

eligibility under Part 90 must be 

maintained. The requirement is 

necessary to identify users of the 

systems should interference problems 

develop. This information is used by the 

Commission to investigate interference 

complaints and resolve interference and 

operational complaints that may arise 

among the users. The Commission is 

seeking extension (no change) to this 

information collection in order to obtain 

the full three-year clearance from OMB.
