NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST JUSTIFICATION

OMB Control No. 3060-0357

FCC Forms 240

The Commission’s Office of International Affairs (OIA) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for de minimis, non-substantive changes to the questions and instructions for this information collection – Recognized Operating Agency (ROA)). On August 8, 2023, in OMB Control No. 3060-0357, OMB approved new electronic forms as part of the Commission’s modernization of its online, web-based electronic filing system – the International Communications filing system (ICFS). The ROA forms include: ROA-NEW (for applications for ROA designation); ROA-WAV (for stand-alone waiver of the ROA application rules); and ROA-AMD (for amendment of any type of pending ROA application). On August 8, 2024, in OMB Control No. 3060-0357, OMB approved de minimis, non-substantive changes to this collection (ICR Reference No. 202407-3060-022).

Since the approval in 2024, and due to continued technology issues with the development of the online system, we have made additional minor, non-substantive, clarifying changes to the ROA forms and instructions.

We request that OMB treat this as a non-substantive change to Control No. 3060-0357 as the changes do not increase burdens or costs on the applicants. OIA includes the following: (1) screenshots of the ROA forms as they will appear for public use and (2) the revised instructions.
