Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a revision of an existing information collection, titled “47 CFR 43.62, Annual Reporting Requirements for U.S. Providers of International Services and Circuits.” The purpose of the revision is to obtain OMB approval of the annual reporting requirements under the newly adopted 47 CFR 43.82 which will require that entities holding capacity on submarine cables file electronically annual circuit capacity reports, in a format set out in a Filing Manual. The Commission is requesting a revision of OMB Control No. 3060-1156 in order to obtain final approval for the requirements in 47 CFR 43.82, the filing manual, and the electronic filing of the data. Previously, U.S. providers of international services were required to file annual traffic and revenue reports and circuit capacity reports as required by 47 CFR 43.62. The Commission has adopted rules changes that eliminate the traffic and revenue reports and further streamline the circuit capacity reports. Upon OMB approval of this collection, 47 CFR 43.62 will be eliminated and replaced with 47 CFR 43.82 for the filing of circuit capacity reports. The current title of OMB Control No. 3060-1156 is “47 CFR 43.62, Annual Reporting Requirements for U.S. Providers of International Services and Circuits.” The Commission would like to change the title to “47 CFR 43.82, Annual International Circuit Capacity Reports” in order to more accurately describe the information collection requirements under 47 CFR Section 43.82.
