FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

April 24, 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: Written comments should be submitted on or before July 1, 2002. 
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 Judith Boley Herman or Leslie Smith,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1004.

    Form No.: N/A.

[[Page 22083]]

    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, and state, local or 
tribal governments.
    Number of Respondents: 443.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement; quarterly and 
semi-annual reporting requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,215 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The quarterly and supplemental reports will be used 
by the Commission to monitor carrier progress in transition to E911, 
and thus ensure that this important effort will continue in an orderly 
and timely fashion.
    The burden estimates in this notice include the information 
currently approved by OMB and additional information for the newly 
affected entities.
    In February 2002, the Commission received emergency approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reporting burdens 
contained in a series of Orders allowing seven carriers additional time 
to comply with the Commission's Enhanced 911 Phase II implementation 
schedule subject to certain reporting requirements. The Commission 
opened a period for comment on these burdens at 67 FR 14714, March 27, 
2002. The period for comment ends on May 28, 2002. However, the 
Commission has revised the information contained in the announcement of 
the comment period in anticipation of other carriers who might also 
seek a waiver and be subject to the reporting requirement. So, the 
Commission revised its original notice and associated burden estimates 
and extends the public comment period for 60 days after publication in 
the Federal Register.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
