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 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 August 1, 2005. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 73.1212 requires a broadcast station

generally mention of the product's name or service constitutes 
sponsorship identification. For television political advertisements for 
candidates seeking public office, the sponsor shall be identified with 
letters equal to or greater than four percent of the vertical height of 
the television screen. In addition, when an entity rather than an 
individual sponsors broadcast programming of a political or 
controversial nature, the licensee must retain a list of the executive 
officers, board of directors, or executive committee, etc., of the 
organization paying for the programming. Sponsorship announcements are 
waived when broadcasting ``want ads'' are sponsored by individuals.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
