[[Page 50370]]

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 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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should 
submit comments October 30, 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: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), (202) 395-5887, or via fax at 202-395-

    Title: Request for Technical Support--Help Request Form.
    Form No.: N/A--electronic format only.
    Type of Review: Extension 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: 36,300 respondents; 36,300 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 8 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and 
recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,840 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: $387,200.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need 
for confidentiality. On a case by case basis, the Commission may be 
required to withhold from disclosure certain information about the 
location, character, or ownership of a historic property, including 
traditional religious sites.
    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension 
(no change in reporting or recordkeeping requirements) after this 60 
day comment period to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to 
obtain the full three year clearance. There is no change in the 
estimated number of respondents or burden hours.
    The FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB) maintains 
Internet software used by the public to apply for licenses, participate 
in auctions for spectrum, and maintains license information. In this 
mission, WTB has a ``help desk'' that answers questions related to 
these systems as well as well as resetting and/or issuing user 
passwords for access to these systems. The form currently is available 
on the Web site https://esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm under OMB Control 
Number 3060-1042. This form will continue to substantially decrease 
public and staff burden since all the information needed to facilitate 
a support request will be submitted in a standard format but be 
available to a wider audience. This eliminates or at least minimizes 
the need to follow-up with the customers to obtain all the information 
necessary to respond to their request. This electronic form also helps 
resort requests into previously defined categories to all staff to 
respond more quickly.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Deputy Secretary.
