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 December 6, 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.

profit.
    Number of Respondents: 44,127.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .084--40 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, semi-annual, annual and 
quarterly reporting requirements and recordkeeping requirement.

much of the conclusions made in the Report and Order. The Commission, 
however, reconsidered and adopted a proposal to permit existing 
cellular radiotelephone licensees to extend to adjacent unserved areas 
of less than fifty (50) square miles on a secondary basis without 
modifying their existing cellular geographic service area. Section 
1.929 of the rules provides that an application or amendment is 
classified as minor or major. A carrier seeking to extend into adjacent 
unserved areas must generally seek approval from the Commission by 
filing a major modification. Pursuant to the Order on Reconsideration, 
a carrier that seeks to extend in adjacent unserved areas on a 
secondary basis need only file a minor amendment. The cellular licensee 
must indicate on FCC Form 601, Main Form, Item 7 that it is filing a 
minor amendment; and submit Schedules D and F of the FCC Form 601. 
Additionally, the Commission eliminated information collection 
requirements in Sections 22.130 and 22.323. Sections 1.949, 1.955, 
1.957 and 22.946(a) are now included in this information collection.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0626.
    Title: Regulatory Treatment of Mobile Services--Sections 90.168, 
90.425 and 90.483.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 2,985.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-10 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annual and one-time reporting 
requirements, third party disclosure requirement, and recordkeeping 
requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 13,515 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,328,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission revised this information collection 
because changes that have occurred are due to the elimination of rule 
section requirements in Section 20.6(e)(3), which, as of January 1, 
2003, were no longer effective. Further, Section 22.313 has been 
eliminated from this information collection and incorporated into the 
part 22 collection (above, OMB Control Number 3060-0508). Section 
90.449 has been eliminated as duplicative of the requirements in 47 CFR 
Section 1.89 of the Commission's rules involving ``Notices of 
Violation''. Such notices are handled by the FCC's Enforcement Bureau 
and are processed on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, it does not meet 
the criteria for PRA requirements.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
