required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law 104-

subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act that does not

approval from the FCC to dismiss or withdraw its petition to deny when 
it is filed against a renewal application and applications for new 
construction permits, modifications, transfers and assignments. This 
request for approval must contain a copy of any written agreement, an 
affidavit stating that the petitioner has not received any 
consideration in excess of legitimate and prudent expenses in exchange 
for dismissing/withdrawing its petition and an itemization of the 
expenses for which it is seeking reimbursement. Each remaining party to 
any written or oral agreement must submit an affidavit within five days 
of the petitioner's request for approval stating that it has paid no 
consideration to the petitioner in excess of the petitioner's 
legitimate and prudent expenses. The data is used by FCC staff to 
ensure that a petition to deny or informal objection is filed under 
appropriate circumstances and not to extract payments in excess of 
legitimate and prudent expenses.

Secretary.
