FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

May 20, 2004.
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 June 28, 2004. 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 Kristy L. LaLonde, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10234 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 
395-3087, or via fax at 202-395-5167 or via Internet at [email protected], and Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
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 
processing review of this new information collection with an OMB 
approval by June 7, 2004.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Regulatory Fee Assessment Notifications.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and State, local and tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,130.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .25 hours (15 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 283 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: Each year the Commission collects Congressionally-
mandated regulatory fees from its regulates based on a schedule of fees 
that it establishes in an annual rulemaking proceeding. In the past 
years, the Commission pulled licensee addresses from its databases and 
mailed to these licensees Public Notices that (1) announced when 
regulatory fees are due; and (2) provided guidance for making fee 
payments. For the FY 2004 regulatory season, the Commission is going to 
send fee assessments to cable TV operators, media services licensees, 
and commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) licensees so that they have 
an opportunity to counter, update or rectify basic license data and 
assessed fee amounts well before the actual due date for submission of 
regulatory fee payments. We will use the information to update our 
database.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Deputy Secretary.
