The Federal Communications Commission
(Commission) is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve a three-year extension of the information collection,
titled “47 CFR 43.82, Annual International Circuit Capacity
Reports.” Pursuant to 47 CFR § 43.82, cable landing licensees and
entities holding capacity on submarine cables file electronically
annual circuit capacity reports, in a format set out in a Filing
Manual.
This information collection
reflects adjustments/increases for this collection as follows: from
65 to 90 (+ 25) respondents, 185 to 213 (+ 28) responses, 1,085 to
1,368 (+ 283) annual burden hours. Additionally, this information
collection reflects an increase in annual costs from $2,400 to
$10,200 (+$7,800). The adjustments are the result of an increase in
the number of licensed U.S.-international submarine cables and a
corresponding increase in the number of filing entities. There are
no program changes to this information collection.
