Title: Earth Stations on Board Vessels
(ESVs).
Form No.: N/A.

currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-
profit.
Number of Respondents: 15
respondents; 15 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.

reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for

period to Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in order to obtain the full
three-year clearance.
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) obtained approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under this OMB Control
Number (3060–1061) for the following
03DEN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 231 / Monday, December 3, 2007 / Notices
purposes: (1) To develop licensing and
service rules for Earth Stations on Board
Vessels (ESVs) in the Ku-band and C-
band; (2) to prevent interference to
Fixed Services (FS), Fixed Satellite
Service (FSS) and other satellite
services; (3) to further the Commission’s
goals to manage spectrum efficiently;
and (4) to advance the provision of
broadband telecommunications services
that will benefit U.S. citizens on
passenger, government (military and
civilian), cargo and large recreational
vessels. The consequence to the
Commission if the collection were not
conducted is that there would continue
to be regulatory uncertainty with respect
to ESVs and other satellite services that
operate in the Ku-band and the C-band.
Without this information collection, the
Commission would not be able to take
the necessary measures to prevent
harmful interference to satellite services
from ESVs. Finally, the Commission
would not be able to advance its goals
of managing spectrum efficiently and
promoting broadband technologies to
benefit American consumers throughout
the United States and abroad.

was filed with the Commission, and
cable operators must inform the
Commission in writing, as soon as
possible, of that notification date. The
notification to subscribers must state:
On (date of waiver request was filed
with the Commission), (cable operator’s
name) filed with the Federal
Communications Commission a request
for waiver of the rule prohibiting
scrambling of channels on the basic tier
of service. 47 CFR 76.630(a). The
request for waiver states (a brief
summary of the waiver request). A copy
of the request for waiver is on file for
public inspection at (the address of the
cable operator’s local place of business).
Individuals who wish to comment on

operators that use scrambling,

conjunction with cable system terminal
devices, as defined in § 15.3(e) of this
chapter, that may affect subscribers’
reception of signals shall offer to supply
each subscriber with special equipment
that will enable the simultaneous
reception of multiple signals. The
equipment offered shall include a single
terminal device with dual descramblers/
decoders and/or timers and bypass
switches. Other equipment, such as two
independent set-top terminal devices
may be offered at the same time that the
single terminal device with dual tuners/
descramblers is offered. For purposes of
this rule, two set-top devices linked by
a control system that provides
functionality equivalent to that of a
single device with dual descramblers is
considered to be the same as a terminal
device with dual descramblers/
decoders.
(a) The offer of special equipment
shall be made to new subscribers at the
time they subscribe and to all
subscribers at least once each year.
(b) Such special equipment shall, at a
minimum, have the capability:
(1) To allow simultaneous reception
