Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested

July 29, 2008.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, Public Law No. 104-13. An agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid control number. Pursuant to the PRA, no person shall be 
subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information 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 October 6, 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

    Needs and Uses: The Commission's rules require that broadcast

are used by Commission staff to ensure that applicants are qualified to 
participate in Commission auctions and to ensure that license winners 
are entitled to receive the new entrant bidding credit, if applicable. 
Exhibits regarding joint bidding agreements are designed to prevent 
collusion. Submission of engineering exhibits for non-table services 
enables the Commission to determine which applications are mutually 
exclusive.
