On May 11, 2005, the Federal
Communications Commission ("Commission") released the Report and
Order, "In the Matter of Mandatory Electronic Filing for
International Telecommunications Services and Other International
Filings," IB Docket No. 04-226, FCC 05-91. This Report and Order
implements mandatory electronic filing of various applications for
international telecommunications services, including several new
applications related to International Section 214
Authorizations.
This Supporting Statement
reflects a program changes of +12,115 to the annual burden hours
and + $485,200 to the annual cost burden. These program changes are
the result of information collection requirements not being
included in this collection that should have been included when the
collection was previously approved by OMB. Also, the Commission
grossly over estimated the total annual burden hours and
miscalculated the total annual cost burden in this previous
submission to OMB. Therefore, there are adjustments of -126,682 to
the annual burden hours and -$14,124,610 to the annual cost burden.
With this submission, the Commission more accurately calculated the
annual burden hours and the annual cost burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
