Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 02/04/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 01/05/1998
Terms of Clearance: The FCC has approval for two versions of the FCC Form 312 -- as contained in Appendices B and C of this submittal. Both forms ar e approved for three years -- but the FCC can annotate the April 21, 1997 version (Appendix B) with an appropriate expiration date or version date. The FCC should take steps to ensure that there is no confusion as to what form filers must use. The FCC must also modify the PRA and Privacy Notice so that it reflects the FCC-OMB agreed format. In particular, the FCC must provide a more specific reference to the Telecommunications Act and also include the language required by the Debt Collection Improvement Act. Page 2 of the instructions still refers to filing fees -- the FCC should ensure that the instructions of the revised FCC 312 reflects use of the FCC 159 and include directions to that effect.

Abstract: Rules, policies, and form changes have been adopted to implement the World Trade Organization Basic Telecommunications Agreement. The proposals permit non-U.S.-licensed satellite services to be considered in the United States. Non-U.S.-licensed entities would be permitted to file Letters of Intent for satellite space stations. Modifications to the FCC form 312 have been adopted to incorporate questions for Non-U.S.-licensed entities and to correct omissions on previous versions.
