Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 26, 2017 / Notices 44789 

Needs and Uses: The Federal 

Communications Commission (‘‘FCC’’) 

is requesting that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approve a three-year extension of OMB 

Control No. 3060–0686. The information 

is used by the Commission staff in 

carrying out its duties under the 

Communications Act. The information 

collections are necessary largely to 

determine the qualifications of 

applicants to provide common carrier 

international telecommunications 

service, including applicants that are 

affiliated with foreign carriers, and to 

determine whether and under what 

conditions the authorizations are in the 

public interest, convenience, and 

necessity. The information collections 

are also necessary to maintain effective 

oversight of U.S. international carriers 

generally. 

If the collections are not conducted or 

are conducted less frequently, 

applicants will not obtain the 

authorizations necessary to provide 

telecommunications services, and the 

Commission will be unable to carry out 

its mandate under the Communications 

Act of 1934. In addition, without the 

information collections, the United 

States would jeopardize its ability to 

fulfill the U.S. obligations as negotiated 

under the World Trade Organization 

(WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement 

because these collections are imperative 

to detecting and deterring 

anticompetitive conduct. They are also 

necessary to preserve the Executive 

Branch agencies’ and the Commission’s 

ability to review foreign investments for 

national security, law enforcement, 

foreign policy, and trade concerns.
