Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a revision of OMB Control No. 3060-1163 to incorporate new requirements adopted by the Commission in the Executive Branch Review Order and the Executive Branch Standard Questions Order. The Commission also seeks approval for online electronic forms that are currently under development as part of the Commission’s modernization of its online, web-based electronic filing system -- the International Communications Filing System (ICFS). The Commission has developed new ICFS forms to improve the Commission’s collection of information related to foreign ownership petitions for declaratory ruling under section 310(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act), (section 310(b) petitions or petitions) related to common carrier wireless, aeronautical en route and aeronautical fixed radio station licenses (collectively, wireless common carrier licenses) and to incorporate the new requirements.

Short Statement:
The Commission is reporting program changes to this information collection. As a result of the rules adopted in the Executive Branch Review Order and Executive Branch Standard Questions Order, international 214 applicants will be required to submit additional information to the Commission and Committee, including providing significant detailed responses to the Standard Questions that will be filed directly with the Committee. The changes are also associated with revisions to current forms and new forms required for section 310(b) petitions that increase the burden hour estimates for this collection. The Commission has also reevaluated and raised the estimate of how many hours outside counsel spend assisting respondents prepare and 310(b) petitions and filings. Therefore, the Commission’s program changes for the collection are as follows: -6 to the number of respondents, +26 to the annual number of responses, +507 to the annual burden hours and +$155,790 to the annual cost.
