FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collection(s) Requirement Submitted to OMB for 
Emergency Review and Approval

July 31, 2003.
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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before September 5, 2003. 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 contacts 
listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Kim A. Johnson, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 
395-7232, or via fax at 202-395-5167 or via internet at [email protected], and Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications 
Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554 or

of the information collections contact Judith B. Herman at 202-418-0214 
or via internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission has requested emergency OMB 
review of this revised information collection with an approval by 
August 15, 2003.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0853.
    Title: Receipt of Service Confirmation Form; Adjust of Funding 
Commitment; and Certification by Administrative Authority to Billed 
Entity of Compliance with Children's Internet Protection Act--Universal 
Service for Schools and Libraries.
    Form No.: FCC Forms 479, 486, and 500.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 40,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.5 hours per form.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirements and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 75,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: Following a district court decision that portions 
of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) were unconstitutional, 
the Commission modified FCC Forms 479 and 486 to remove certain 
language from the certifications for libraries (language requiring 
compliance with the parts of CIPA the district court found 
unconstitutional). The Supreme Court reversed the district court 
decision and the Commission must revise the forms to enable libraries 
to certify their compliance with CIPA. Specifically, the Commission 
will make a few small changes to the forms in item 6.b and 11 of the 
Form 486 and Item 6 of the FCC 479 (FCC Form 500 remains unchanged). 
Additionally, the Commission is requesting contact information to 
conform with the contact information requested in other Schools and 
Libraries Universal Service forms.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
