    Respondents: Business or Other for Profit.
    Number of Respondents: 1,210.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 5 minutes (.084 hours).
    Total Annual Burden: 102 hours.
    Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Needs and Uses: The Communications Act requires that the Commission 
must inspect the radio installation of large cargo ships and certain 
passenger ships at least once a year to ensure that the radio 
installation is in compliance with the requirements of the 
Communications Act. Additionally, the communications Act requires the 
inspection of small passenger ships at least once every five years. The 
Safety Convention (which the United States is signatory) also requires 
an annual inspection, however, permits an Administration to entrust the 
inspections to either surveyors nominated for the purpose or to 
organizations recognized by it. There, the United States can have other 
entities conduct the radio inspection of vessels for compliance with 
the Safety Convention. The Commission adopted Rules that FCC-licensed 
technicians provide a summary of the results of the inspection in the 
ship's log and provide the vessel with a ship inspection safety 
certificate.

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