SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0228.
OMB Approval Date: August 27, 2024.
Expiration Date: August 31, 2027.
Title: Section 80.59, Compulsory Ship Inspections and Ship
Inspection Certificates, FCC Forms 806, 824, 827 and 829.
Form No.: FCC Forms 806, 824, 827, and 829.
Respondents: Business or other for profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and State, local, or Tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 15,175 respondents; 15,175 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: The actual inspection will take
approximately 4 hours to complete. Each ship inspection certificate
will take approximately 0.083 hours (5 minutes) to complete. Providing
a summary in the ship's log will take approximately 0.25 hours (15
minutes) to complete. These estimates are based on FCC staff's
knowledge and familiarity with the availability of the data required.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual, and every five-year
reporting requirements, recordkeeping requirement, and third party
disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required for regulatory or compliance. The
statutory authority for this collection 47 U.S.C. 154, 303, 307(e), 309
and 332, unless noted.
Total Annual Burden: 23,229 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Needs and Uses: The requirements contained in section 80.59 are
necessary to implement the provisions of section 362(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934, 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 Communications Act.
Additionally, section 385 of the Communications Act requires the
inspection of small passenger ships at least once every five years, and
subpart T of part 80 of the Commission's rules requires the inspection
of certain vessels operating in the Great Lakes at least once every 48
months.
The Safety Convention--an international treaty (to which the United
States (U.S.) is a signatory)--also requires an annual inspection. The
Safety Convention permits an Administrator to entrust the inspections
to either surveyors nominated for the purpose or to organizations
recognized by it. Therefore, the U.S. can have other parties conduct
the radio inspection of vessels for compliance with the Safety
Convention.
The Commission allows FCC-licensed technicians to conduct these
inspections. FCC-licensed technicians not only certify that the ship
passed an inspection, but also issue a safety certificate. These safety
certificates (FCC Forms 806, 824, 827, and 829) indicate that the
vessel complies with the Communications Act, the Commission's rules,
and the Safety Convention. These technicians are required to provide a
summary of the results of the inspection in the ship's log. In
addition, the vessel's owner, operator, or ship's master must certify
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.
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,
for a period of not
[[Page 77152]]
more than 90 days for the sole purpose of enabling a U.S. vessel to
complete its voyage and proceed to a port in the U.S. when an
inspection can be held. An information application must be submitted by
a ship's owner, operator, or authorized agent. The application must be
electronically submitted to the FCC Headquarters (via email to
