NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST JUSTIFICATION

OMB Control No. 3060-1029

FCC Forms 245

The Commission’s Office of International Affairs (OIA) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for de minimis, non-substantive changes to the questions and instructions for this information collection – Data Network Identification Code (DNIC). On August 8, 2023, in OMB Control No. 3060-1029, OMB approved new and revised electronic forms as part of the Commission’s modernization of its online, web-based electronic filing system – the International Communications filing system (ICFS). In light of several technology issues that arose during creation of the online forms, the Commission has made de minimis, non-substantive, clarifying changes to the FCC Forms 245 questions and application instructions. The DNIC forms include: DNC-NEW (for applications for a new DNIC or a reassignment of a DNIC); DNC-WAV (for stand-alone waiver of the DNIC requirements); and DNC-AMD (for amendment of any type of pending DNIC application).

OIA includes (1) screenshots of the DNIC forms as they will appear for public use and (2) the revised instructions. We request that OMB treat this as a non-substantive change to Control No. 3060-1029 as the changes do not increase burdens or costs on the applicants.
