FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

November 20, 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 (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 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 December 31, 2003. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th 
Street SW., Washington 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.: 3060-0853.
    Title: Receipt of Service Confirmation Form; Certification by 
Administrative Authority to Billed Entity of Compliance with Children's 
Internet Protection Act (CIPA)--Universal Service for Schools and 
Libraries; Certifications for Libraries Unwilling to Make a CIPA 
Certification for 2003.
    Form Nos.: FCC Forms 479, 486 and 486-T.
    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.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement 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 CIPA were unconstitutional, the Commission modified FCC Forms 479 
and 486 to remove certain language from the certifications for 
libraries. The Supreme Court reversed the district court decision and 
the Commission must now revise the form to enable libraries to certify 
their compliance with CIPA. The Commission has created a new FCC Form 
486-T, a one-page form, to be completed by libraries that do not intend 
to comply with CIPA, but wish to receive support for the month and half 
of Funding Year 2003 during which CIPA was not enforced against 
libraries. FCC Form 486-T will not affect the

burden or the number of respondents because respondents will file 
either the FCC Form 486 or the FCC Form 486-T. FCC Form 486-T will only 
be valid for Funding Year 2003.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
