[IB Docket No. 02–54; FCC 04–130] 

Mitigation of Orbital Debris 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of 

effective date. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

13, the Federal Communications 

Commission received Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval for the collection of orbital 

debris mitigation plans under 47 CFR 

5.63(e), 25.114(d)(14), and 97.207(g) of 

the Commission’s rules. Mitigation of 

Orbital Debris, IB Docket No. 02–54, 

OMB Control Number 3060–1013. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor and 

a person is not required to respond to 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Communications Commission 

has received OMB approval for the 

disclosures of orbital debris mitigation 

plans under 47 CFR 5.63(e), 

25.114(d)(14), and 97.207(g) of the 

Commission’s rules that were adopted 

in Mitigation of Orbital Debris, IB 

Docket No. 02–54, 69 FR 54581 

(September 9, 2004). These rules require 

a satellite system operator requesting 

FCC space station authorization, or an 

entity requesting a Commission ruling 

for access to a non-U.S.-licensed space 

station under the Commission’s satellite 

market access procedures, to submit an 

orbital debris mitigation plan to the 

Commission regarding spacecraft design 

and operation in connection with its 

request under parts 5, 25, and 97 of the 

Commission’s rules. Through this 

document, the Commission confirms 

that it received OMB approval on April 

13, 2005, OMB Control No. 3060–1013, 

and announces that the effective date of 

47 CFR 5.63(e), 25.114(d)(14), and 

97.207(g) is October 19, 2005. 

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13, an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number. Notwithstanding any other 

provisions of law, no person shall be 

subject to any penalty for failing to 

comply with a collection of information 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

that does not display a valid control 

number. Questions concerning the OMB 

control number and expiration dates 

should be directed to Judith B. Herman 

at 202–418–0214, 445 12th Street, SW., 

Washington, DC 20554, or via the 

Internet at Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov. 

OMB Control No.: 3060–1013. 

OMB Approval Date: 4/13/2005. 

Expiration Date: 4/30/2008. 

Title: Mitigation of Orbital Debris. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 53 

responses; 159 annual burden hours. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission is 

revising this information collection to 

reflect the new and/or modified 

information collection requirements that 

resulted from the Second Report and 

Order, ‘‘In the Matter of Mitigation of 

Orbital Debris.’’ This Second Report and 

Order was released by the Commission 

on June 21, 2004. The Commission 

amended parts 5, 25, and 97 of the 

Commission’s rules by adopting new 

rules concerning mitigation of orbital 

debris. Orbital debris consists of 

artificial objects orbiting the earth that 

are not functional spacecraft. Adoption 

of these rules will help preserve the 

United States’ continued affordable 

access to space, the continued provision 

of reliable U.S. space-based services—

including communications and remote 

sensing satellite services for U.S. 

commercial, government, and homeland 

security purposes—as well as the 

continued safety of persons and 

property in space and on the surface of 

the earth. Under the rules as amended 

today, a satellite system operator 

requesting FCC space station 

authorization, or an entity requesting a 

Commission ruling for access to a nonU.S.-licensed space station under the 

FCC’s satellite market access 

procedures, must submit an orbital 

debris mitigation plan to the 

Commission regarding spacecraft design 

and operation in connection with its 

request. This Second Report and Order 

provides guidance for the preparation of 

such plans. Adoption of these rules will 

further the domestic policy objective of 

the United States to minimize the 

creation of orbital debris and is 

consistent with international policies 

and initiatives to achieve this goal. The 

information collection requirements 

accounted for in this collection are 

necessary to mitigate the potential 

harmful effects of orbital debris 

accumulation. Without such 

information collection requirements, the 

growth in the orbital debris may limit 

the usefulness of space for 

communications and other uses in the 

future by raising the costs and lowering 

the reliability of space-based systems.
