SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission 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.
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act PRA
of 1995 44 U.S.C. 35013520, the FCC
invited the general public and other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection.
Comments are requested concerning: a 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;
b the accuracy of the Commissions

burden estimates; c ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and d 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. Pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506c4, the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might further reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
OMB Control Number: 30601013.
Title: Mitigation of Orbital Debris.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 46
respondents; 46 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 8
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. 151, 154i, 301, 303, 307, 308, 309, and 310.
Total Annual Burden: 368 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $88,550.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impacts.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On April 24, 2020, the Commission released a Report and Order, FCC 2054, IB Docket No. 18
313, titled Mitigation of Orbital Debris in the New Space Age Orbital Debris Report and Order. In this Orbital Debris Report and Order, the Commission updated its rules related to orbital debris mitigation, including application requirements. The new rules are designed to ensure that the Commissions actions concerning radio communications, including licensing U.S. spacecraft and granting access to the U.S. market for non-U.S. spacecraft, mitigate the growth of orbital debris, while at the same time not creating undue regulatory obstacles to new satellite ventures. The action will help to ensure that Commission decisions are consistent with the public interest in space remaining viable for future satellites and systems and the many services that those systems provide to the public. The rule revisions also provide additional detail to applicants on what information is expected under

the Commissions rules, which can help to increase certainty in the application filing process. While this information collection represents an overall increase in the burden hours, the information collection serves the public interest by ensuring that the Commission and public have necessary information about satellite applicants plans for mitigation of orbital debris.
Specifically, FCC 2054 contains the new or modified information collection requirements listed below, applicable to applicants seeking experimental licenses for satellite operations under part 5 of the Commissions rules, as well as to license grantees under part 97
submitting notifications to the Commission prior to launch of a satellite amateur station:
1 Existing disclosure requirements have been revised to include specific metrics in several areas, including:
Probability that the space stations will become a source of debris by collision with small debris and meteoroids that would cause loss of control and prevent disposal; probability of collision between any non-geostationary orbit NGSO space station and other large objects; and casualty risk associated with any individual spacecraft that will be disposed by atmospheric re-entry.
2 Where relevant, the disclosures must include the following: Use of separate deployment devices, distinct from the space station launch vehicle, that may become a source of orbital debris; potential release of liquids that will persist in droplet form; and any planned proximity operations and debris generation that will or may result from the proposed operations, including any planned release of debris, the risk of accidental explosions, the risk of accidental collision, and measures taken to mitigate those risks.
3 The existing disclosure requirement to analyze potential collision risk associated with space stations orbits has been modified to specify that the disclosure identify characteristics of the space stations orbits that may present a collision risk, including any planned and/or operational space stations in those orbits, and indicate what steps, if any, have been taken to coordinate with the other spacecraft or system, or what other measures the operator plans to use to avoid collision.
4 For NGSO space stations that will transit through the orbits used by any inhabitable spacecraft, including the International Space Station, the disclosure must include the design and operational strategies, if any, that will be used to minimize the risk of collision
