Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

July 29, 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 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden 
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collected; and 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 
submit comments October 7, 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 Judy Boley Herman, Federal 
Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Room 1-C804, 
Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0683.
    Title: Direct Broadcast Satellite Service.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 6 respondents; 35 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.5-20 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, one-time, and annual reporting 
requirements, and recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,200 hours.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $50,000.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission sought and received emergency 
clearance of this information collection on 7/26/02. The Commission is 
now initiating a 60-day comment period to extend this collection with 
no change for the regular, three-year approval.
    This information collection, among other things, previously 
modified Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) to Part 25 of the 
Commission's rules, and eliminated Part 100 of the Commission's rules. 
These revisions were necessary to simplify the procedures applicable to 
DBS, to eliminate unnecessary filing requirements, and to harmonize the 
DBS licensing process with that of other satellite services.

Federal Communications Commission.

Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
