    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.1610 requires the permittee of a new 
broadcast station to notify the FCC of its plans to conduct equipment 
tests for the purpose of making adjustments and measurements as may be 
necessary to assure compliance with the terms of the construction 
permit and applicable engineering standards. The data is used by FCC 
staff to assure compliance with the terms of the construction permit 
and applicable engineering standards.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0188
    Title: Call Sign Reservation and Authorization System.
    Form Number: FCC Form 380.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit, Not-for-profit 
institutions; State, local, or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,600.
    Estimated Hours per Response: 0.166-0.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 333 hours.

    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.3550 provides that all requests for new 
or modified call signs be made via the on-line call sign reservation 
and authorization. The FCC Form 380 is an on-line system for the 
electronic preparation and submission of requests for the reservation 
and authorization of new and modified call signs. Access to the call 
sign reservation and authorization system is made by broadcast 
licensees and permittees, or by persons acting on their behalf, via the 
Internet. This on-line, electronic call sign system enables users to 
determine the availability and licensing status of call signs; to 
request an initial, or change an existing, call sign; and to determine 
and submit more easily the appropriate fee, if any. 47 CFR 74.783 also 
permits any low power television (LPTV) station to request a four-
letter call sign after receiving its construction permit. All initial 
LPTV construction permits will continue to be issued with a five-
character alpha-numeric LPTV call sign. LPTV licensees/permittees are 
also required to use the on-line call sign reservation and 
authorization system. The call sign reservation and authorization 
system is used by permittees, licensees, or persons acting on their 
behalf to determine the availability of a call sign and to request an 
initial call sign or change an existing call sign.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0439.
    Title: Section 64.201, Regulations Concerning Indecent 
Communications by Telephone.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Individuals or 
households.
    Number of Respondents: 10,200.

party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,632 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is an issue 
to the extent that individuals and households provide personally 
identifiable information (PII), which is covered under the FCC's system 
of records notice (SORN), FCC/CGB-1, ``Informal Complaints and 
Inquiries.''
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes. The Privacy Impact Assessment was 
completed on June 28, 2007. It may be reviewed at: http://www.fcc.gov/omd/privacyact/Privacy_Impact_Assessment.html.
    Needs and Uses: Under Section 223 of the Communications Act of 
1932, as amended, telephone companies are required, to the extent 
technically feasible, to prohibit access to indecent communications 
from the telephone of a subscriber who has not previously requested 
access. 47 CFR 64.201 of the Commission's rules implements Section 223 
of the Communications Act and contains several information collection 
requirements: (1) A requirement that certain common carriers block 
access to indecent messages unless the subscriber seeks access from the 
common carrier (telephone company) in writing; (2) A requirement that 
adult message service providers notify their carriers of the nature of 
their programming; and (3) A requirement that a provider of adult 
message services request that their carrier identify it as such in 
bills to its subscribers. The information requirements are imposed on 
carriers, adult message service providers, and those who solicit their 
services to ensure that minors are denied access to material deemed 
indecent.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0665.
    Title: Section 64.707, Public Dissemination of Information by 
Providers of the Operator Services.
    Form Number: Not applicable.

    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 436.
    Estimated Time per Response: 4 hours (average per response).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,744 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information (PII) 
from individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: As required by 47 U.S.C. 226(d)(4)(b) of the 
Communication's Act, 47 CFR 64.707 of the Commission's rules, provides 
that operator service providers must

[[Page 44532]]

regularly publish and make available upon request from consumers 
written materials that describe any changes in operator services and 
choices available to consumers. Consumers use the information to 
increase their knowledge of the choices available to them in the 
operator services marketplace.

    OMB Control Number: 3060-0973.
    Title: Section 64.1120(e), Sale of Transfer of Subscriber Base to 
Another Carrier, CC Dockets 00-257 and 94-129.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 75.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 hours (average per response).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 450 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of 
confidentiality is not offered because this information collection does 
not require the collection of personally identifiable information (PII) 
from individuals.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impacts(s).
    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 CFR 64.1120(e) of the Commission's 
rules, an acquiring carrier will self-certify to the Commission, in 
advance of the transfer, that the carrier will comply with the required 
procedures, including giving advance notice to the affected subscribers 
in a manner that ensures the protection of their interests. By 
streamlining the carrier change rules, the Commission will continue to 
protect consumers' interests and, at the same time, will ensure that 
its rules do not inadvertently inhibit routine business transactions.
    On July 16, 2004, the Commission released a First Order on 
Reconsideration and Fourth Order on Reconsideration which made a minor 
modification to 47 CFR 64.1120(e)(iii) of the Commission's rules.
    The modification in the rule did not impose any new or modified 
information collection requirements nor did it affect the existing 
annual hourly and cost changes.

    Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
