continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other

[[Page 57460]]

Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following 
information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Pub. L. 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 November 3, 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 contact 
listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act 
submission to Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 
1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW, DC 20554 or via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collection(s), contact Judith B. Herman at 202-418-
0214 or via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0678.
    Title: Part 25 of the Commission's Rules Governing the Licensing 
of, and Spectrum Usage by, Satellite Network Earth Stations and Space 
Stations.
    Form Nos: FCC Forms 312, 312 EZ, 312-R and 312 Schedule S.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 6,274.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 11 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 65,120 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $12,043,000.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission adopted the Schedule S, a 
standardized form for space station license applications, and Form 312-
EZ for earth station license applications. The implementation of the 
decisions in the Schedule S rulemaking will enable the Commission to 
review space station and earth station applications more quickly than 
is now possible, and therefore, increase speed of service to the 
public. In particular, the implementation of mandatory electronic 
filing of most satellite and earth station applications will result in 
a reduction of burden hours per submission for the applicants.
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0681.
    Title: Toll-Free Service Access Codes, CC Docket No. 95-155, 47 CFR 
part 52, subpart D, sections 52.101-52.111.
    Form No: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 300.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 15 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: Responsible Organizations (RespOrgs) who wish to 
make a specific toll free number unavailable must submit written 
request to the toll free database administrator, Database Services 
Management, Inc. (DSMI). This requirement will hold those RespOrgs more 
accountable and will decrease abuses of lag time in the process. It 
will prevent numbers from being held in unavailable status without 
demonstrated reasons, and will make more numbers available for 
subscribers who need and want them. If DSMI is uncertain whether a 
number should be placed in unavailable status, it should seek guidance 
from the Commission's Wireline Competition Bureau.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
