Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
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, Public Law 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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before August 24, 
2001. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

Commissions, Room 1 A-804, 445 Twelfth Street, SW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Approval No.: 3060-0657.
    Title: Section 21.956 Filing of long-form applications or 
statements of intention.
    Form No.: n/a.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Estimated Hours Per Response: 4.0 hours (1.0 hour respondent, 1 
hour attorney, 2 hours consulting engineer).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Cost to Respondents: $1,000.

    Needs and Uses: Where the Basic Trading Area (BTA) is so heavily 
encumbered that the winning bidder is unable to file a long-form 
application for a station within the BTA while protecting incumbents 
from harmful interference, the winning bidder must file a statement of 
intention of use of the BTA in accordance with Section 21.956. This 
statement of intention must identify all incumbents and describe in 
detail its plan for obtaining the authorized/proposed MDS stations 
within the BTA. This statement must also include the exhibits detailed 
in 21.956(b). The long-form application (FCC 304) has separate OMB 
approval under control number 3060-0654. The data is used by FCC staff 
to determine whether to grant a BTA authorization.

Federal Communications Commission.
