following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 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 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 April 4, 2005. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

    Needs and Uses:The Commission released a Public Notice on August 
10, 1998, that explained how ``nonchecklist'' applications (i.e., 
applications that do not conform to certain criteria to enable ``fast-
track processing'') would be processed for Digital Television (DTV) 
station construction permits. This public notice explained what should 
be included in engineering showings and other types of application 
exhibits and cover letters.
    This public notice for ``nonchecklist'' applications should help to 
resolve processing uncertainties, enable the preparation of complete 
and quality applications, and hasten the authorization of DTV service. 
TheFCC staff will use this data to ensure that interference to other 
DTV and NTSC (analog TV) stations is minimized.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
