following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. An agency may not 
collect 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 (PRA) that does not display a valid OMB 
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 on or before March 1, 2010. 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

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

for Preemption.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit entities; Individuals 
or households; Not-for-profit institutions; and State, local, or Tribal 
Government.
    Number of Respondents: 125; 125 responses.

    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not 
requesting that respondents submit confidential information to the 
Commission. If the Commission requests respondents to submit 
information which respondents believe is confidential, respondents may 
request confidential treatment of such information pursuant to section 
0.459 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR Section 0.459. The FCC has a 
system of records, FCC/OGC-5, ``Pending Civil Cases,'' to cover the 
collection, purpose(s), storage, safeguards, and disposal of the 
personally identifiable information (PII) that individuals may submit 
with their petitions for preemption that they file with the Commission.
    Needs and Uses: These provisions supplement the procedures for 
filing petitions seeking Commission preemption of state and local 
government regulation of telecommunications services. They require that 
such petitions, whether in the form of a petition for rulemaking or a 
petition for declaratory ruling, be served on all state and local 
governments. The actions for which are cited as a basis for requesting 
preemption. Thus, in accordance with these provisions, persons seeking 
preemption must serve their petitions not only on the state or local 
governments whose authority would be preempted, but also on other state 
or local governments whose actions are cited in the petition.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
