A copy of the FCC submission to OMB will be displayed. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. OMB Control Number: 3060-0390. Title: Broadcast Station Annual Employment Report, FCC Form 395-B. Form Number: FCC 395-B. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities; not-for-profit institutions. Number of Respondents and Responses: 14,000 respondents, 14,000 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement. Total Annual Burden: 14,000 hours. Total Annual Cost: None. Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority of this collection of information is contained in Sections 154(i) and 334 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. Privacy Impact Assessment(s): No impact(s). Needs and Uses: FCC Form 395-B, the ``Broadcast Station Annual Employment Report,'' is a data collection device used by the Commission to assess industry employment trends and provide reports to Congress. By the form, broadcast licensees and permittees identify employees by gender and race/ethnicity in ten specified major job categories in the form. OMB Control No.: 3060-0850. Title: Quick-Form Application for Authorization in the Ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Operator, and General Mobile Radio Services, FCC Form 605. Form No.: FCC Form 605. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Individuals or households; business or other for- profit; not-for-profit institutions; state, local or tribal government. Number of Respondents/Responses: 130,000 respondents; 130,000 responses. Estimated Time per Response: 0.17 hours-0.44 hours. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third party disclosure requirement, recordkeeping and other (5 and 10 years). Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for this collection is contained in 47 CFR 1.913(a)(4). Total Annual Burden: 57,218 hours. Total Respondent Cost: $2,676,700. Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general there is no need for confidentiality. The Commission is required to withhold from disclosure certain information about the individual such as date of birth or telephone number. Needs and Uses: FCC 605 application is a consolidated application form for Ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Radio Operators, and General Mobile Radio Services and is used to collect licensing data for the Universal Licensing System. The Commission is requesting OMB approval for an extension (no change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements). The Commission is making minor clarifications to the instructions on the main form and schedule B as well as a clarification to Item 3 on the main form. The data collected on this form includes the Date of Birth for Commercial Operator licensees however this information will be redacted from public view. The FCC uses the information in FCC Form 605 to determine whether the applicant is legally, technically, and financially qualified to obtain a license. Without such information, the Commission cannot determine whether to issue the licenses to the applicants that provide telecommunication services to the public, and therefore, to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The Commission is revising the basic qualifications section of the form to include a question regarding whether an application has been convicted of a felony in any state or federal court. Applicants, answering yes must provide an explanation. This item enables the FCC to determine whether an Applicant is eligible under Sec. Sec. 310(d) and 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to hold or have ownership interest in a station license. In addition we are seeking approval to change the ship application form require the applicant provide the official ship number. Coast Guard requests we change this question from optional to required. Obtaining the ship number is the only way to reliably link a license to a specific vessel. The Information provided on this form will also be used [[Page 23000]] to update the database and to provide for proper use of the frequency spectrum as well as enforcement purposes.
