continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for 
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. 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 Commission's 
burden estimate; (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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Approval Number: 3060-0763.
    Title: ARMIS Customer Satisfaction Report.
    FCC Report No.: FCC 43-06.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 8.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 900 hours.
    Cost to Respondents: N/A.
    Total Annual Burden: 7,200 hours.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Report 43-06, the Customer Satisfaction Report, 
reflects the results of customer satisfaction surveys conducted by 
individual carriers from residential and business customers on 
installation and repair orders. The information contained in the 
automated reports provides the necessary detail to enable the 
Commission to fulfill its regulatory responsibilities. Automated 
reporting of these data greatly enhances the Commission's ability to 
process and analyze the extensive amounts of data that are needed to 
administer its rules. Automating and organizing data submitted to the 
Commission facilitate the timely and efficient analyses of revenue 
requirements, rate of return and price caps, and satisfaction surveys 
of customer installation and repair requests, and to provide an 
improved basis for auditing and other oversight functions and enhance 
the Commission's ability to quantify the effects of policy proposals.

    OMB Approval Number: 3060-0414.
    Title: Terrain Shielding Policy.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement without change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions; state, local, or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 10 hours.
    Cost to Respondents: A consulting engineer would prepare the 
terrain shielding waiver request. This consulting engineer is estimated 
to have an average salary of $125/hour. Therefore, 300 waiver requests 
x 9 hours x @125/hour=$337,500.
    Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The terrain shielding policy requires low power 
television applicants to submit: detailed terrain studies; or assent of 
potentially affected parties and graphic depiction of terrain when 
intervening terrain prevents a low power television applicant from 
interfering with other low power television or full-power television 
stations. The data are used by FCC staff to determine if adequate 
protection can be provided by terrain shielding and if waiver of rules 
is warranted.

Acting Secretary.
