FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

March 9, 2007.
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 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 May 21, 2007. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period 
of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the contact listed 
below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: You may submit your Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments 
by email or U.S. postal mail. To submit your comments by email send 
them to [email protected]. To submit your comments by U.S. mail, mark them to 
the attention of Cathy Williams, Federal Communications Commission,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
    Title: Section 76.41, Franchise Application Process.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: State, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 5,006.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours-4 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 46,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission has assessed the effects of the 
application filing requirements used to calculate the time frame in 
which a local franchising authority shall make a decision, and find 
that those requirements will benefit companies with fewer than 25 
employees by providing such companies with specific application 
requirements of a reasonable length. We anticipate this specificity 
will streamline this process for companies with fewer than 25 
employees, and that these requirements will not burden these companies.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
