The Commission adopted a Report and Order (R&O), FCC 13-4, which added rule sections 13.9(c), 13.13(c), 13.17(b), and 13.211(e) to this existing information collection. The Commission in an efort to clarify, streamline or eliminate its rules in order to reduce administrative burdens in the telecommunications industry, adopted this final rule, whch amended its rules concerning Commercial Radio Operator licensees for maritime and aviation radio stations. Of those rules adopted, some have recordkeeping and/or reporting requirements for holders of commerciial radio licenses, as well as for Commercial Opertor License Examination Managers (COLEM(s)) that adinister commercial radio operator license examinations across the United States. In this proceeding, the FCC seeks OMB approval for burdens contained in the R&O, which implemments a number of actions the Commission has taken.
