The Federal Communications Commission
(“Commission”) is requesting that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approve a revision of OMB Control No. 3060-0686
titled, “International Section 214 Authorization Process and Tariff
Requirements – 47 CFR Sections 63.10, 63.11, 63.13, 63.18, 63.19,
63.21, 63.24, 63.25 and 1.1311.” The purpose of this revision is to
obtain OMB approval for the reporting requirements under newly
adopted 47 CFR 63.22(h), which requires facilities-based
international service providers electronically to submit, and
maintain, a list of routes on which they have direct termination
arrangements with a foreign carrier. In addition, this list maybe
used to initiate targeted data collections regarding those routes.
Finally, we remove from this collection the requirements related to
47 U.S.C. 310(b) which are now included in the collection under OMB
Control No. 3060-1163.
The Commission has the
following program changes which are due to the information
collection requirements adopted in FCC 17-136 and the removal of
the burdens and cost associated with 47 U.S.C. 310(b): +33 to the
number of respondents (from 495 respondents to 528 respondents),
+44 responses (from 748 responses to 792 responses), -134 burden
hours (from 3,286 hours to 3,152), -$3,000 (from $755,400 to
$752,400). There are no adjustments to this collection.
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.
