SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. 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.
    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 22, 
2018. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
PRA@fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.

Inspection Certificates, FCC Forms 806, 824, 827 and 829.
    Form Numbers: FCC Forms 806, 824, 827 and 829.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 2,438 respondents; 2,438 responses.

[[Page 17660]]

    Estimated Time per Response: 0.084 hours (5 minutes)-4 hours per 
response.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual and every five year 
reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party 
disclosure requirement.
    Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 4, 303, 309, 332 and 362 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 10,333 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The requirements contained in 47 CFR 80.59 of the 
Commission's rules are necessary to implement the provisions of section 
362(b) of the Communications Act of 934, as amended, which require the 
Commission to inspect the radio installation of large cargo ships and 
certain passenger ships at least once a year to ensure that the radio 
installation is in compliance with the requirements of the 
Communications Act.
    Further, section 80.59(d) states that the Commission may, upon a 
finding that the public interest would be served, grant a waiver of the 
annual inspection required by section 362(b) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, for a period of not more than 90 days for the sole purpose of 
enabling the United States vessel to complete its voyage and proceed to 
a port in the United States where an inspection can be held. An 
information application must be submitted by the ship's owner, operator 
or authorized agent. The application must be submitted to the 
Commission's District Director or Resident Agent in charge of the FCC 
office nearest the port of arrival at least three days before the 
ship's arrival. The application must provide specific information that 
is in rule section 80.59.
    Additionally, the Communications Act requires the inspection of 
small passenger ships at least once every five years.
    The Safety Convention (to which the United States is a signatory) 
also requires an annual inspection.
    The Commission allows FCC-licensed technicians to conduct these 
inspections. FCC-licensed technicians certify that the ship has passed 
an inspection and issue a safety certificate. These safety 
certificates, FCC Forms 806, 824, 827 and 829 indicate that the vessel 
complies with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended and the Safety 
Convention. These technicians are required to provide a summary of the 
results of the inspection in the ship's log that the inspection was 
satisfactory.
    Inspection certificates issued in accordance with the Safety 
Convention must be posted in a prominent and accessible place on the 
ship (third party disclosure requirement).
