FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

August 2, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, N.W., Suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For 
further information on these submissions contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214. Persons wishing to comment 
on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 
395-3561.

    OMB Number: 3060-0206.
    Title: Part 21--Domestic Public Fixed Radio Services.
    Action: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses).
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping, semi-annual, annual and on 
occasion reporting requirements.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 28,616 responses, 1.9 hours average burden 
per response, 54,370 hours total reporting burden; 100 recordkeepers, 2 
hours average burden per recordkeeper; 54,570 hours total annual 
burden.
    Needs and Uses: The information requested under Part 21 is used by 
the Commission staff to fulfill its obligations as set forth in 
Sections 308 and 309 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to 
determine the technical, legal and other qualifications of applicants 
to operate a station in the Domestic Public Fixed Radio Services. The 
information will also be used to determine whether grant of an 
application will service the public interest, convenience and 
necessity. The staff also uses this information to ensure that 
applicants and licensees comply with the ownership and transfer 
restrictions imposed by Section 310 of the Act. On February 9, 1993, 
the Commission released Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in CC 
Docket No. 93-2, proposing to allow pre-authorization construction of 
Point-to-Point Microwave Radio Service stations, reduce the PPMRS 
station construction period, eliminate FCC Forms 430 and 494-A, and to 
consolidate FCC Forms 702 and 704. Comments have been filed in response 
to this NPRM and the staff is now drafting a Report and Order. The 
final disposition of this proceeding is expected during the fourth 
quarter of FY 1994.

    OMB Number: 3060-0298.
    Title: Part 61--Tariffs (Other than Tariff Review Plan).
    Action: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 4,797 responses; 203 hours average burden 
per response; 972,423 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Various sections of the Communications Act require 
that common carriers establish just and reasonable charges, practices 
and regulations for the services they provide. The schedules containing 
these charges, practices and regulations must be filed with the 
Commission which is required to determine whether such schedules are 
just, reasonable and not unduly discriminatory. Part 61 of the 
Commission's rules establishes the procedures for filing tariffs which 
contain the charges, practices and regulations of the common carriers, 
supporting economic data and other related documents. The supporting 
data must also conform to other parts of the Rules such as Parts 36 and 
69. Part 61 prescribes the framework for the initial establishment of 
and subsequent revisions to tariffs. Tariffs that do not conform to 
Part 61 requirements may be rejected. The information collected through 
a carrier's tariff is used by the Commission to determine whether the 
services offered are just and reasonable as the Act requires. The 
tariffs and any supporting documentation are examined in order to 
determine if the services are offered in a just and reasonable manner. 
If tariffs were not filed, the FCC would not be able to carry out its 
responsibilities as required by the Act. As of August 18, 1993, all 
domestic non-dominant carriers are required to file on diskettes.

    Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
