SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public

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 September 30, 2005. If you anticipate that you 
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0742.
    Title: Telephone Number Portability (47 CFR Part 52, Subpart C, 
Sections 52.21-52.33) and CC Docket No. 95-116.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 1,960 respondents; 2,027 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 2-149 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and one time reporting 
requirements, third party disclosure requirement and recordkeeping 
requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 14,333 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $84,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is revising this information 
collection due to the addition of wireless carriers providing local 
number portability (LNP), the removal of the certification requirement 
and an increase in the number of carriers proving LNP. The Commission 
requires the following information to be collected from various 
entities: (1) Requests for long-term number portability must be 
provided by local exchange carriers (LECs) and Commercial Mobile Radio 
Service (CMRS) providers (which now includes wireless carriers) in 
switches for which another carrier has made a specific request for 
number portability, according to the Commission's deployment schedule; 
(2) carriers that are unable to meet the deadlines for implementing a 
long-term number portability solution are required to file with the 
Commission (at least 60 days in advance of the deadline) a petition to 
extend the time by which implementation in its network will be 
completed; (3) incumbent LECs may recover their carrier-specific costs 
directly related to providing long-term number portability by 
establishing in tariffs filed with the Commission certain number 
portability charges. Incumbent LECs are required to include many 
details in their cost support that are unique to the number portability 
proceeding pursuant to the Cost Classification Order. For instance, 
incumbent LECs must demonstrate that any incremental overhead costs 
claimed in their cost support are actually new costs incremental to and 
resulting from the provision of long-term number portability; and (4) 
Incumbent LECs are required to maintain records that detail both the 
nature and specific amount of these carrier-specific costs that are 
directly related to number portability, and those carrier-specific 
costs that are not directly related to number portability 
(recordkeeping requirement).

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0139.
    Title: Application for Antenna Structure Registration.
    Form Nos.: FCC Forms 854 and 854R.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and State, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 4,500 respondents; 9,000 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .5 hours--1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement, third 
party disclosure requirement and recordkeeping requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,750 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $183,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is revising FCC Forms 854 and 854R 
to correct an email address, Web site addresses, telephone numbers and 
instructions for obtaining FCC Registration Numbers (FRNs) in the 
General Instructions.
    FCC Form 854 is used to register antenna structures used for wire 
or radio communication service in any area where radio services are 
regulated by the Commission; to make changes to existing registered 
structures or pending applications; or to notify the Commission of the 
completion of construction or dismantlement of structures, as required 
by Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 17 (FCC 
Rules Part 17).
    One of the Commission's primary responsibilities is to ensure that 
antenna structures do not pose a threat to air safety. The information 
will be used by the Commission to maintain a current registration 
database which increases air safety by allowing the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) and the Commission to identify potential hazards.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
