FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

July 1, 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 August 19, 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 contact 
listed below as soon as possible.

    Needs and Uses: On March 30, 2004, the Commission released a First

Commission removed the International Settlements Policy benchmark-
compliant routes, eliminated the Commission's International Simple 
Resale (ISR) policy and associated filing requirements. The information 
is used by Commission staff in carrying out its duties under the 
Communications Act. The information collections are necessary for the 
Commission to maintain effective oversight of U.S. carriers that are 
affiliated with, or involved in certain co-marketing or similar 
arrangements with, foreign carriers that have market power. 
Additionally, the information collections are necessary to analyze 
market trends to determine whether amendment of the Commission's 
existing rules or proposals of new rules are necessary to promote 
effective competition and prevent anti-competitive behavior between 
American and foreign carriers.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
