Notice of Public Information Collections Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

May 17, 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 collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
current valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty 
for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the 
PRA that does not display a valid

control number. Comments are requested concerning: (a) Whether the 
proposed collections of information are 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 22, 
2007. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

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: 6,006.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours-4 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 54,000 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. The new requirements serve to 
streamline the existing practice of franchise negotiation and review. 
Therefore, we believe that the new requirements will reduce burdens on 
companies with fewer than 25 employees. 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.
