FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

August 17, 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, 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 September 24, 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.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-1007.
    Title: Streamlining and Other Revisions of part 25 of the 
Commission's Rules.
    Form No: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 28.
    Estimated Time per Response: .25-2 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual and other reporting 
requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 9,688 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $95,194,000.

    Needs and Uses: On April 16, 2004, the FCC released a Fourth Report 
and Order in IB Docket Nos. 02-34 and 00-248, FCC 04-92. In this 
rulemaking, the Commission extended the mandatory electronic filing 
requirement to all space station and earth station applications, 
related pleadings, and other filings governed by part 25. Direct 
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) and Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) 
licensees can now use a streamlined procedure when relocating 
satellites for fleet management purposes. Currently, this procedure is 
only limited to Geostationary Satellite Orbit (GSO) licensees. Under 
this streamlined procedure, the DBS and DARS licensees may modify its 
license without prior authorization, but upon 30 day prior notice to 
the Commission and any potentially affected licensed spectrum user. 
This will enable the Commission to act on DBS fleet management 
modifications faster.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
