Abstract: The Commission seeks revision of this OMB control number due to recent amendments to the Safety Convention by way of Resolution Marine Safety Committee (MSC) 496(105) that was adopted on April 28, 2022; as a result of SOLAS revisions of its Passenger Ship Safety Certificate and Cargo Ship Radio certificates, FCC Forms 806 and 829 are being revised accordingly. Regarding the remaining forms associated with this OMB control number, FCC Forms 824 and 827 will undergo technical amendments for non-substantive edits. Inspection certificates issued in accordance with the Safety Convention must be posted in a prominent and accessible place on the ship. Further, section 80.59(d) states that the Commission may, upon a finding that the public interest would be served, grant a waiver of the annual inspection required by section 362(b) of the Communications Act, for a period of not more than 90 days for the sole purpose of enabling a U.S. vessel to complete its voyage and proceed to a port in the U.S. when an inspection can be held. An information application must be submitted by a ship’s owner, operator, or authorized agent. The application must be electronically submitted to the FCC Headquarters (via e-mail to Ghassan.Khalek@fcc.gov, Katie.Knox@fcc.gov, Kathleen.Curameng@fcc.gov, and Thomas.Derenge@fcc.gov) at least three days before the ship’s arrival. The application must provide specific information that is contained in rule section 80.59. The forms to be completed are FCC Forms 806, 824, 827, and 829. Please see the non-substantive change request justification for the reason behind this change request submission to the Office of Management and Budget for review and approval.
