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

April 21, 2010.
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. 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; (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, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before July 12, 2010. 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 (OMB), via fax at 202-395-5167, or via the 
Internet at: [email protected], and to the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) via email at: [email protected].

individuals; however, should any personally identifiable information 
(PII) be submitted, the FCC has a system of records, FCC/OMD-9, 
``Commission Registration System (CORES),'' to cover the collection, 
use, storage, and destruction of this PII, as required by the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a.
    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 158 and 47 U.S.C. 159, the 
FCC is required to collect application fees and annual regulatory fees 
from its licensees and permittees. Licensees and permittees may request 
waivers of these fees where good cause is shown and where waiver or 
deferral of the fee would promote the public interest. Financial 
information and reports that are submitted to support waiver requests 
are ordinarily maintained as business records and can be easily 
assembled. The FCC uses the information submitted in support of the 
waiver request to determine if such waiver is warranted.
