Abstract: The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve revisions to OMB Control No. 3060-0944 to incorporate the new requirements adopted by the Commission in the Executive Branch Review Order and in the Executive Branch Standard Questions Order. The Commission also seeks approval for online electronic forms that are currently under development as part of the Commission’s modernization of its International Communications Filing System (ICFS). To improve the Commission’s collection of information related to submarine cable applications and to incorporate the new requirements, the Commission revised its submarine cable application forms and added new forms. Please review the non-substantive change justification submission to see the reason behind this change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.
