Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

March 20, 2002.
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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1005.
    Title: Numbering Resource Optimization--Phase 3.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit, state, local, or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 53.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 63.77 hours (average hours per 
response).
    Total Annual Burden: 3,380 hours.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $12,000.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Needs and Uses: In the Third Report and Order and Second Order on 
Reconsideration in CC Docket No. 99-200, the Commission continued its 
efforts to maximize the efficiency with which numbering resources in 
the North American Number Plan (NANP) are utilized. In order for price 
cap LECs to qualify for exogenous adjustment to access charges 
established under the federal cost recovery mechanism, they must 
demonstrate that pooling results in a net cost increase rather than a 
cost reduction. Applications to state commissions from carriers must 
demonstrate that certain requirements are met before states may grant 
use of the safety valve mechanism. State commissions seeking to 
implement service-specific and/or technology-specific area code 
overlays, must request delegated authority to do so.
    The Commission received emergency (6 month) approval under the 
emergency processing procedure on 3/12/02. This notice is being 
published in the Federal Register to start a 60-day comment period 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act in order to obtain a full three-year 
approval.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0084.
    Title: Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast 
Station.
    Form No.: FCC Form 323-E.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 2,636.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-3 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,636 hours.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $1,054,400.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, biennial and other reporting 
requirements.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 323-E is filed by licensees/permittees of 
noncommercial FM and TV broadcast stations when the original 
construction permit is granted, on the date it applies for a station 
license, in conjunction with the station's renewal application and 
every two years thereafter. The data are used by FCC staff to determine 
if licensees/permittees are in compliance with Sections 308 and 310 of 
the Communications Act, as amended, and the Commission's ownership 
disclosure requirements.

Federal Communications Commission.
