FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

July 3, 2001.
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, 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 September 10, 
2001. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Les Smith, Federal Communications 
Commissions, 445 12th Street, S.W., Room 1-A804, Washington, DC 20554 
or via the Internet to [email protected].

    Number of Respondents: 450.
    Estimated Hours Per Response: 4 hours (1 hour respondent, 3 hours 
consulting engineer).
    Frequency of Response: on occasion.
    Cost to Respondents: $202,500.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 450.
    Needs and Uses: A BTA authorization holder has a five-year build-
out period, beginning on the date of the grant of the BTA authorization 
and terminating on the 5th year anniversary of the grant of the 
authorization, within which it may develop and expand MDS station 
operations within its service area. Section 21.930(c) requires the BTA 
holder to file with the Commission a demonstration that the holder has 
met construction requirements. This demonstration must be filed sixty 
days prior to the end of the five year build-out period. On June 14, 
2001, the Commission's Mass Media Bureau adopted a Memorandum Opinion 
and Order in MM Docket No. 01-109 which extended the five year build 
out requirement set forth in Section 21.930 by two years. Thus, the 
first filings will not occur until FY 2003. The certification of 
completion of construction (FCC 304-A) required by Section 21.930(a)(3) 
has separate OMB approval under control number 3060-0664.) The data is 
used by FCC staff to determine if the BTA holder has met its 
construction requirements and to ensure that service is promptly 
delivered to the public. The Commission will issue a declaration that 
the holder has met the construction requirements.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
