Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 150 / Thursday, August 6, 2026 / Notices
In line with the Commission’s
modernization efforts, the Submarine
Cable First Report and Order adopted a
one-time information collection to
obtain information on how many
entities currently own or operate SLTE
on existing licensed cable systems. The
one-time information collection will
further inform the Commission about
the identities of SLTE owners and
operators and their role in operating a
portion of the submarine cable system.
The one-time collection will also assess
for insolvent cables or licensees and
require licensees to disclose whether or
not their submarine cable systems use
equipment or services identified on the
Commission’s Covered List, uses a
third-party foreign adversary service
provider, or uses a third-party service
provider that can access the submarine
cable system from a foreign adversary
country.

Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 154(j),
201–255, 303(r), 403, 413, and the Cable
Landing License Act of 1921, 47 U.S.C.
34–39, and Executive Order No. 10530,
Section 5(a) (May 12, 1954) reprinted as
amended in 3 U.S.C. 301.
Total Annual Burden: 2,360 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $35,400.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission) is requesting that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a new one-time
information collection applicable to all
submarine cable landing licensees as
adopted in the Submarine Cable First
Report and Order, FCC 25–49. The
Submarine Cable First Report and Order
modernized the Commission’s
submarine cable rules to facilitate
infrastructure deployment, while
strengthening national security.
Pursuant to the Cable Landing License
Act and Executive Order 10530, the
Commission holds broad legal authority
to regulate submarine cables that
connect to the United States. Under
section 35 of title 47, the Commission
has legal authority to withhold or
revoke a license if such action will
‘‘promote the security of the United
States.’’
The Submarine Cable First Report
and Order was the first major review of
the Commission’s submarine cable rules
since 2001, and updated rules and
procedures to streamline and improve
the timeliness and transparency of its
submarine cable licensing process. The
Commission also modernized the
definition of submarine cable system to
include Submarine Line Terminal
Equipment (SLTE) as part of the cable
system and adopted common sense
measures to presumptively preclude
foreign adversaries and other entities
from accessing the nation’s
communications networks. The updates
will provide greater certainty for
applicants, while making targeted
improvements to address national
security threats.

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC collects deposit insurance
assessments on a quarterly basis. Each
quarterly assessment is based on an
insured depository institution’s
quarterly report of condition for the

associated with certifying the review by
officials of the insured institutions to

confirm that the assessment data are
accurate and, in cases of inaccuracy,

no change in the substance or
methodology of this information
collection. The estimated annual burden
had decreased by 547 hours, from 6,340
hours in 2024 to 5,793 hours currently,
due solely to a decrease in the number
of respondents.

necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. All comments will become
a matter of public record.

General Description of Collection: The
Federal banking agencies, including the
FDIC, issued guidance for institutions to
set expectations regarding incentivebased compensation. Under this
Guidance, banks are encouraged to: (i)
Have policies and procedures that
identify and describe the role(s) of the
personnel and units authorized to be
involved in incentive compensation
arrangements, identify the source of
significant risk-related inputs, establish
appropriate controls governing these
inputs to help ensure their integrity, and
identify the individual(s) and unit(s)
whose approval is necessary for the
establishment or modification of
incentive compensation arrangements;
(ii) create and maintain sufficient
documentation to permit an audit of the
organization’s processes for incentive
compensation arrangements; (iii) have
any material exceptions or adjustments
to the incentive compensation
arrangements established for senior
executives approved and documented
by its board of directors; and (iv) have
its board of directors receive and
review, on an annual or more frequent
basis, an assessment by management of
the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the organization’s incentive
compensation system in providing risk
taking incentives that are consistent
with the organization’s safety and
soundness. There is no change in the
substance or methodology of this
information collection. The estimated
annual burden has decreased by 418
hours from 4,010 hours in 2023 to 3,592
hours currently, due to a decrease in the
number of respondents.
