On August 9, 2011, the Commission
adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 11-121), Review of
Foreign Ownership Policies for Common Carrier and Aeronautical
Radio Licensees under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as Amended, in IB Docket No. 11-133 (rel. Aug. 9, 2011)
(NPRM). The Commission seeks comment in the NPRM on measures to
simplify, and reduce to the extent possible the regulatory costs
and burdens associated with, the agency's current framework for
authorizing foreign ownership of common carrier, aeronautical
fixed, and aeronautical en route radio station licensees pursuant
to section 310(b)(4) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 310(b)(4). The
Commission also proposes to codify whatever measures it ultimately
adopts to provide more predictability and ensure transparency of
the section 310(b)(4) filing requirements and review
process.
This is a new information
collection and if the requirements are adopted by the Commission in
a final rulemaking 79 respondents, 79 responses, 942 burden hours
and costs of $282,600 will be added to OMB's inventory.
