FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

April 18, 2008.
SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to comment on the following 
information collection(s). 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. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB 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 OMB control 
number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before June 23, 
2008. 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: Submit your comments by e-mail to [email protected]. Include in 
the e-mail the OMB control number of the collection. If you are unable 
to submit your comments by e-mail contact the person listed below to 
make alternate arrangements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection(s) or to obtain a copy of the collection send an 
e-mail to [email protected] and include the collection's OMB control number 
as shown in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below, or call

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1064.
    Title: Regulatory Fee Assessment True-Ups.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 1,650 respondents; 1,650 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes (0.25 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 413 hours.

    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. However, respondents may request materials or 
information submitted to the Commission be withheld from public 
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the FCC's rules.
    Needs and Uses: Section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 CFR Section 9, mandates that the Commission collect annual 
regulatory fees from its regulatees. To facilitate this effort, the 
Commission publishes various Public Notices and Fact Sheets each year 
that (1) announce when fees payments are due; (2) provide the current 
schedule of fee amounts for all service categories; and (3) provide 
guidance for making fee payments to the Commission.
    Beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, the Commission now mails fee 
assessment notifications to cable television operators, broadcast 
licensees and commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) licensees on an 
annual basis. With these fee assessment notifications, we also provide 
regulatees with a ``true-up'' \1\ opportunity to contact the FCC to 
update or otherwise correct their assessed fee amounts well before the 
actual due date for payment of regulatory fees. Providing a ``true-up'' 
opportunity is necessary because the data sources that were used to 
generate the fee assessments may not have complete accuracy. The 
Commission offers several ways for regulatees to ``true-up'' their 
assessed fee amount. Regulatees may call the Commission's Financial 
Operations Help Desk. They may return their amended assessment 
notification or otherwise send written correspondence to a designated 
Commission mailing address. In addition, cable television operators and 
broadcast licensees may use a Commission-authorized Web site to key-in 
corrections to their assessment information.
