The Federal Communications Commission (“Commission”) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a revision of OMB Control No. 3060-0686 titled, “International Section 214 Authorization Process and Tariff Requirements – 47 CFR Sections 63.10, 63.11, 63.13, 63.18, 63.19, 63.21, 63.24, 63.25 and 1.1311.” The purpose of this revision is to obtain OMB approval for the reporting requirements under newly adopted 47 CFR 63.22(h), which requires facilities-based international service providers electronically to submit, and maintain, a list of routes on which they have direct termination arrangements with a foreign carrier. In addition, this list maybe used to initiate targeted data collections regarding those routes. Finally, we remove from this collection the requirements related to 47 U.S.C. 310(b) which are now included in the collection under OMB Control No. 3060-1163.
The Commission has the following program changes which are due to the information collection requirements adopted in FCC 17-136 and the removal of the burdens and cost associated with 47 U.S.C. 310(b): +33 to the number of respondents (from 495 respondents to 528 respondents), +44 responses (from 748 responses to 792 responses), -134 burden hours (from 3,286 hours to 3,152), -$3,000 (from $755,400 to $752,400).
There are no adjustments to this collection.
