Short Statement: As a result of the rules adopted in the Submarine Cable Report and Order, submarine cable applicants and licensees will be required to submit additional information in applications, certifications, and for a subset of existing licensees, a new annual foreign adversary report to the Commission. The newly adopted rules overall increased the number of respondents and the hours that respondents will need to prepare and submit submarine cable applications, the Foreign Adversary Annual Report, and other filings. Therefore, the Commission’s program changes for the collection are as follows: an increase in the annual number of respondents from 41 to 429 (an increase of 388 respondents); an increase in the annual number of responses from 118 to 472 (an increase of 354 responses); an increase in annual burden hours from 960 to 14,180 hours (an increase of 13,220 hours); and an increase in annual costs from $340,255 to $4,354,490 (an increase of $4,014,235).
