In January 2013, the D.C. Circuit released its opinion in EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. v. FCC, 704 F.3d 992 (D.C. Cir. 2013). In that decision, the D.C. Circuit vacated the Second Report and Order, FCC 03-225 (released October 9, 2003). Therefore, the information collection requirements that were contained in 47 CFR 76.1905(c)(2) and (c)(3), 47 CFR 76.1906(a)(1) and (b) and the complaint requirement are no longer a part of this information collection. The Commission is revising this collection to remove those requirements and the burden hours and cost burden associated with them.

The Commission has program changes/decreases to this collection as follows: 250 to the annual responses, 9,050 hours to the annual burden hours and $131,000 to the annual cost burden. These program changes are due to the D.C. Circuit releasing its opinion in EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. v. FCC, 704 F.3d 992 (D.C. Cir. 2013) which the D.C. Circuit vacated the Second Report and Order, FCC 03-225 (released October 9, 2003) in January 2013.
There are also adjustments/decreases to this collection of 662 to the annual number of responses, 4,151 to the burden hours and $36,680 to the annual cost burden. These adjustments are due to the Commission reevaluating its burden for this collection.
