state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

Any person may, within 60 days after 

the issuance of the instant notice by the 

Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 

of the Commission’s Procedural Rules

staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of 

the Commission’s Regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) 

file a protest to the request. If no protest 

is filed within the time allowed 

therefore, the proposed activity shall be 

deemed to be authorized effective the 

day after the time allowed for protest. If 

a protest is filed and not withdrawn 

within 30 days after the time allowed 

for filing a protest, the instant request

the Office of Management and Budget 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments.

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC or Commission)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–1156. 

Title: 47 CFR 43.62, Annual Reporting 

Requirements for U.S. Providers of 

International Services and Circuits. 

Form No.: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 2,328 

respondents; 14,606 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1–150 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. The statutory 

authority for this information collection 

is contained under Sections 1, 4(i)–4(j), 

11, 201–205, 211, 214, 219, 220, 303(r), 

309 and 403 of the Communications Act 

of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 

154(i)–154(j), 161, 201–205, 211, 214, 

219–220, 303(r), 309, 403. 

Total Annual Burden: 14,606 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $2,400. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

In general, there is no need for 

confidentiality with this collection of 

information. The Commission, however, 

will allow filing entities to seek 

confidential treatment of their data. 

Needs and Uses: The Federal 

Communications Commission 

(Commission) is requesting that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approve a revision of OMB 

Control No. 3060–1156. The purpose of 

the revision is to obtain OMB approval 

of the annual reporting requirements 

stipulated under 47 CFR 43.62 which 

requires that entities providing 

international services file annual circuit 

capacity reports and annual traffic and 

revenue reports, in a format set out in 

a Filing Manual. 

Upon the OMB’s approval of the 

proposed changes in this information 

collection, the Commission plans to 

eliminate two existing information 

collections from the Commission’s 

inventory, OMB Control Number 3060– 

0106 (47 CFR 43.61 annual traffic and 

revenue reports) and OMB Control 

Number 3060–0572 (47 CFR 43.82 

annual circuit-status reports). 

In order for carriers to comply with 

annual reporting requirements 

stipulated in 47 CFR 43.62, the 

Commission is developing a web-based 

system for filers to submit their reports. 

Filers will access the filing system via 

a portal on the FCC Web site, 

www.FCC.gov The software for the webbased system is now under development 

and the Commission is seeking final 

OMB approval for the new requirements 

in 47 CFR 43.62, the new consolidated 

Filing Manual and the electronic filing 

of the data. 

Without this collection of 

information, the Commission would not 

be able to ensure compliance with its 

international rules and policies. 

Furthermore, the Commission would 

not have sufficient information to take 

measures to prevent anticompetitive 

conduct in the provision of 

international communications services. 

The Commission would not have 

adequate information to respond to 

failures in the U.S.-international market. 

The Commission would not be able to 

promote effective competition in the 

global market for communications 

services. The lack of effective 

competition would adversely affect the 

U.S. revenues in the 

telecommunications industry. The 

agency would not be able to comply 

with the international regulations stated 

in the World Trade Organization (WTO) 

Basic Telecom Agreement. Carriers and 

other entities outside the Commission, 

such as other government agencies, 

international organizations, and 

academia, use the information to 

analyze industry trends. Other 

government agencies use the 

information in merger analyses and 

negotiations with foreign countries. If 

the information collection was not 

conducted, carriers, government 

agencies and other entities would not 

have accurate industry data available in 

order to conduct analyses.
