The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) updates the above-referenced information collection, Regulations Applicable to Common Carrier and Aeronautical Radio Licensees Under Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act of 1934, as Amended (the Act) which the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pre-approved on December 6, 2011 (OMB Control Number 3060-1163). On April 18, 2013, the Commission adopted final rules in 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, IB Docket No. 11-133, Second Report and Order, FCC 13-50 (rel. Apr. 18, 2013) (Second Report and Order). The Commission did not adopt all of the requirements that were pre-approved, but the requirements that were adopted in the Second Report and Order were adopted as proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) with some minor non-substantive changes. These changes and the agency's revised hour burden and cost estimates are explained below and in response to Questions 12-14. Therefore, the Commission is simply seeking OMB final approval for this collection. The purpose of this proceeding has been to reduce the information collection and other compliance burdens associated with the filing of petitions to obtain Commission approval for foreign ownership in common carrier and certain aeronautical radio station licensees. At the NPRM stage of this proceeding, the Commission estimated the hour burdens and costs likely to be associated with the proposals and other options raised in the NPRM, but based the estimates on the assumption that certain of the proposed streamlining steps might not be adopted. The Commission undertook in its submission to request further OMB approval for any changes that further reduced those hour burdens and costs once the agency promulgated the final rules.
