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

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

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

fair and efficient relocation process. This plan fosters the 
development of competitive broadcast PCS service throughout the 
country, while permitting incumbent providers to relocate to higher 
spectrum bands.
