Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") requests that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a revision of the information collection titled, "Part 25 of the Commission's Rules Governing the Licensing of, and Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network Earth Stations and Space Stations" under OMB Control No. 3060-0678. On September 28, 2012, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") released a Report and Order (R&O) titled, "In the Matter of 2006 Biennial Regulatory Review Revision of Part 25." In this R&O, the Commission amended various provisions of Part 25 of its rules pertaining to licensing and operation of satellite space stations and earth stations. With two exceptions, the amendments are non-substantive; that is, they neither impose new requirements nor eliminate or alter existing requirements. For example, among other things, the revisions added definitions for several technical terms that appear in Part 25 but are not defined there, and it deleted definitions of terms that are not used in Part 25. The Commission also eliminated redundant text from several rule sections, revised the wording of other provisions that were ambiguous or unduly confusing, updated cross-references to Commission rules or recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and corrected grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors. The two substantive amendments adopted in the R&O do not increase paperwork burdens. The first substantive amendment revised 47 CFR § 25.110(c) to eliminate requirements to identify a radio service and station location in correspondence relating to applications and licenses. The impact of this revision on the total time required for submitting such correspondence is negligible. The second substantive amendment revised 47 CFR § 25.137(b) to codify an established practice of allowing applicants to cross-reference, rather than re-submit, previously filed information regarding non-U.S.-licensed satellites. The impact of this revision on the total time required for submitting applications is also negligible. The Commission is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to include FCC Form 312 – Schedule S in the collection. The form was inadvertently removed from collection 3060-0678. The burden and costs are not impacted.
