Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 9, 2005 / Notices 68043

Estimated Time Per Response: 5 

minutes for completion of certificate; 4 

hours for inspection, and 15 minutes for 

recordkeeping. 

Frequency of Response: Annual and 

every 5 year reporting requirements, and 

third party disclosure requirement, and 

recordkeeping requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 5,245 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The 

Communications Act requires the 

Commission to inspect the radio 

installation of large cargo ships and 

certain passenger ships at least once a 

year to ensure that the radio installation 

is in compliance with the requirements 

of the Communications Act. 

Additionally, the Communications Act 

requires the inspection of small 

passenger ships at least once every five 

years. The Safety Convention (which the 

United States is signatory) also requires 

an annual inspection. However, the 

Safety Convention permits an 

Administrator to entrust the inspections 

to either surveyors nominated for the 

purpose or to organizations recognized 

by it. Therefore, the United States can 

have other parties conduct the radio 

inspection of vessels for compliance 

with the Safety Convention. The 

Commission allows FCC-licensed 

technicians to conduct these 

inspections. FCC-licensed technicians 

certify that the ship passed an 

inspection and issue a safety certificate. 

These safety certificates (FCC Forms 

806, 824, 827 and 829) indicate that the 

vessel complies with the 

Communications Act and the Safety 

Convention. These technicians are 

required to provide a summary of the 

results of the inspection in the ship’s 

log. In addition, the vessel’s owner, 

operator, or ship’s master must certify in 

the ship’s log that the inspection was 

satisfactory. Inspection certificates 

issued in accordance with the Safety 

Convention must be posted in a 

prominent and accessible place on the 

ship. The purpose of the information is 

to ensure that the inspection was 

successful so that passengers and 

crewmembers of certain United States 

ships have access to distress 

communications in an emergency.

Compliance. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or

respondents; 14,238,254 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .09–16

Needs and Uses: On June 14, 2005 the 

Commission submitted this information 

collection to the OMB under the 

emergency processing procedures. OMB 

approval was received on June 28, 2005. 

Under the emergency processing 

procedures, the OMB approval is only 

granted for six months, therefore, the 

Commission is now submitting this 

information collection as an extension 

(no change in requirements) in order to 

obtain the full three-year clearance from 

the OMB. 

The information collection 

requirements that are subject to OMB 

approval are the following: 

A. Location Registration. Requires 

providers to interconnected VoIP 

services to obtain location information 

from their customers for use in the 

routing of 911 calls and the provision of 

location information to emergency 

answering points. 

B. Provision of Automatic Location 

Information (ALI). Interconnected VoIP 

service providers will place the location 

information for their customers into, or 

make that information available 

through, specialized databases 

maintained by local exchange carriers 

(and, in at least one case, a state 

government) across the country. 

C. Customer Notification. Requires 

that all providers of interconnected 

VoIP are aware of their interconnected 

VoIP service’s actual E911 capabilities. 

That all providers of interconnected 

VoIP service specifically advises every 

subscriber, both new and existing, 

prominently and in plain language, the 

circumstances under which E911 

service may not be available through the 

interconnected VoIP service or may be 

in some way limited by comparison to 

traditional E911 service. 

68044 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 9, 2005 / Notices 

D. Record of Customer Notification.

Requires VoIP providers to obtain and 

keep a record of affirmative 

acknowledgement by every subscriber, 

both new and existing, of having 

received and understood this advisory. 

E. User Notification. In addition, in 

order to ensure to the extent possible 

that the advisory is available to all 

potential users of an interconnected 

VoIP service, interconnected VoIP 

service providers must distribute to all 

subscribers, both new and existing, 

warning stickers or other appropriate 

labels warning subscribers if E911 

service may be limited or not available 

and instructing the subscriber to place 

them on and/or near the customer 

premises equipment used in 

conjunction with the interconnected 

VoIP service. 

F. Compliance Letter. Requires all 

interconnected VoIP providers to submit 

a letter to the Commission detailing 

their compliance with the rules set forth 

in the Order no later than 120 days after 

the effective date of the Order. This 

letter will enable the Commission to 

ensure that interconnected VoIP 

providers have achieved E911 

compliance by the established deadline.
