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 (PRA) 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 April 7, 2005. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0062.
    Title: Application for Authorization to Construct New or Make 
Changes to an Instructional Television Fixed Service and/or Response 
Station(s), or to Assign or Transfer Such Station(s).
    Form No.: FCC Form 330.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and state, local, or 
tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 500.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1-3 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $750,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Not applicable.
    Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 330 is used to apply for authority to 
construct a new or make changes in an Instructional Television Fixed 
(ITFS) or response station and low power relay station, or for consent 
to license assignment or transfer of control. The Commission is now 
revising this form to request additional information to complete the 
Universal Licensing System (ULS) data elements since ITFS has been 
implemented into ULS. Additional information such as the licensee's e-
mail address, fax number, contact's e-mail address and fax number will 
be added to the form. The Commission also clarified some data elements, 
instructions and corrected mailing addresses and web sites.
    The information is used by FCC staff to ensure that the applicant 
is legally, technically and otherwise qualified to become a licensee. 
ITFS applicants/licensees will need this information to perform the 
necessary analyses of the potential for harmful interference to their 
facility.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0391.
    Title: Program to Monitor the Impacts of the Universal Service 
Support Mechanisms, CC Docket Nos. 98-202 and 96-45.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 210 respondents; 1,456 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 40 minutes (.666 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement and third party 
disclosure requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 971 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: This collection is being submitted to the OMB as a 
revision. The revision is due to separations reform in which the dial 
equipment minutes reporting categories have been eliminated. Thus, only 
the interstate access minutes remain to be reported reducing the 
overall time required for each respondent to report their required 
data. This information is collected by the National Exchange Carriers 
Association (NECA). NECA acts as the access billing agent for most 
small companies, and requests the data from the other companies. Prior 
to 2002, the data collected were: Local, intrastate toll, and 
interstate dial equipment minutes, interstate dial equipment minute 
factors, and interstate access minutes. We estimate that it should take 
no more than 40 minutes per study area. This is an annual report.
