Abstract:
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve revisions to OMB Control No. 3060-0944 to incorporate the new requirements adopted by the Commission in the Executive Branch Review Order and in 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 International Communications Filing System (ICFS). To improve the Commission’s collection of information related to submarine cable applications and to incorporate the new requirements, the Commission revised its submarine cable application forms and added new forms.

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, submarine cable 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 submarine cable applicants 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 submit submarine cable applications and filings. Therefore, the Commission’s program changes for the collection are as follows: -17 to the number of respondents, +19 to the annual number of responses, +547 to the annual burden hours and +$233,395 to the annual cost.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
