FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

March 25, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW., suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For 
further information on these submissions contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 632-0276. Persons wishing to comment 
on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, room 3235 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-
3561.
    OMB Number: 3060-0164.
    Title: Section 25.300, Developmental Operations.
    Action: Revision of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 40 responses; 24 hours average burden per 
response; 960 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Subpart E of part 25 (Sec. 25.300) of the FCC rules 
contains the technical and legal requirements for developmental 
operation. On 10/21/93, the Commission adopted a Report and Order 
establishing rules to govern the licensing and regulation of non-voice 
non-geostationary mobile-satellite service systems (NVNG MSS). 
Applicants soliciting developmental operation in the NVNG mobile 
satellite service are subject to the requirements of Sec. 25.300. The 
information is used by the FCC, other licensees of the spectrum and the 
public to assure that part 25 developmental licensees are operating in 
accordance with their authorizations and the Commission's rules.

    OMB Number: 3060-0343.
    Title: Section 25.140, Qualifications of Domestic Satellite Space 
Station Licensees.
    Action: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 25 responses; 1,000 hours average burden 
per responses; 25,000 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: The Communications Act authorizes the FCC to 
require applicants to provide information concerning their legal, 
financial and technical qualifications to enable the Commission to 
determine whether grant of a license will serve the public interest. To 
enable the FCC to determine whether a domestic satellite applicant is 
qualified to construct, launch and operate its proposed system, the FCC 
has traditionally required certain specified information to be included 
in applications. Section 25.140 was recently revised by the Commission 
in CC Docket No. 92-76, Licensing Policies and Procedures, Domestic 
Common Carrier Satellite Service. The information is to be used to 
determine if domestic satellite applicants are qualified to construct 
and launch their proposed systems, and have a justified need for 
additional satellites. Without such information the Commission could 
not determine whether to issue licenses to the carriers that provide 
telecommunications services to the public and therefore, fulfill its 
statutory responsibilities pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, 
as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
