Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
Comments Requested

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid control number. No person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not 
display a currently valid OMB control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0678.
    Title: Part 25 of the Communication's Rules Governing the Licensing 
of, and Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network Stations and Space 
Stations.
    Form No.: FCC Form 312 and Schedule S.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business and other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents/Responses: 1,248 respondents; 1,248 
responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 0.25-22 hours per response.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and annual reporting 
requirements; Recordkeeping requirement; Third party disclosure 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is contained in Sections 4(i), 
7(a), 11, 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended; 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 157(a), 303(c), 303(f), 303(g) 
and 303(r).
    Total Annual Burden: 9,765 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $22,375,860.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need 
for confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission 
(``Commission'') is revising OMB Control No. 3060-0678 to add the 
following rule sections that were previously included under OMB Control 
No. 3060-1007: 47 CFR 25.113, 25.131, 25.154, 25.164 and 25.165. 
Additionally, we are revising the information collection to include the 
respondents, annual burden hours and annual costs associated with these 
rule sections.
    Upon OMB approval of the revisions to this information collection, 
OMB Control No. 3060-1007 also titled, ``Streamlining and Other 
Revisions of Part 25 of the Commission's Rules'' will be discontinued.
    The information collection requirements accounted for in this 
collection are necessary to determine the technical and legal 
qualifications of applicants or licensees to operate a station, 
transfer or assign a license, and to determine whether the 
authorization is in the public interest, convenience and necessity. 
Without such information, the Commission could not determine whether to 
permit respondents to provide telecommunication services in the U.S. 
Therefore, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, and the obligations imposed on parties to the World Trade 
Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom Agreement.


Federal Communications Commission.
