FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review to the Office of Management and Budget

May 13, 2008.
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, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. 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: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before July 18, 2008. If you anticipate that you will 
be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, (202) 395-5887, or via fax at 202-395-5167 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Declaratory Ruling.

[[Page 28824]]

    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 18 respondents; 18 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
    Total Annual Burden: 18 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need 
for confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (``FCC'') 
proposes to establish a new information collection (IC) titled 
``International Special Projects (ISP) Petitions for Declaratory 
Ruling.'' The purpose of this information collection is to facilitate 
the public's voluntary filing of miscellaneous requests with the FCC, 
such as a waiver of the Commission's rules or foreign ownership 
matters, in an electronic module in the International Bureau's Filing 
System (IBFS). Filers have the option to upload paper copies of 
documents in IBFS in lieu of mailing documents to the FCC Secretary's 
Office. However, they may file documents in the FCC Secretary's Office 
by postal mail instead of filing them electronically in IBFS. The 
filing of documents in IBFS saves time and costs for the general public 
since they would save the cost of postage to mail the documents to the 
FCC. It also guarantees that when the respondents ``submit'' their 
documents in IBFS, those documents are received at the FCC on the same 
day.
    Furthermore, FCC staff and members of the public can track the 
receipt and status of documents received electronically in the IBFS.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
