FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Submitted for 
Review and Approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 
Comments Requested

July 8, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1135.
    Title: Revisions to Rules Authorizing the Operation of Low Power 
Auxiliary Stations (Including Wireless Microphones).
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,100 responses; 127,500 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .25 hours (15 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirements 
(disclosure and labeling requirements).
    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained in 47 U.S.C. sections 151, 152, 
154(i),154(j), 301, 302(a), 303, 304, 307, 308, 309, 316, 332, 336 and 
337.
    Total Annual Burden: 31,875 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $1,625,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality since these are third party disclosure and labeling 
requirements.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection during this comment period to obtain the full 
three year clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 
The Commission is reporting a revision which is due to elimination of 
the early clearing requirement burden as it will be unnecessary after 
June 12, 2010 while keeping the disclosure and labeling requirements 
that would allow the Commission to clear the 700 MHz band of wireless 
microphones and provide them a home in the core TV spectrum, where many 
wireless microphones are already operating. Therefore, the Commission 
is reporting a 1,049 hour program change reduction in burden.
    The point-of-sale disclosure requirement is necessary for a 
successful transition of wireless microphones out of the 700 MHz band. 
The Commission anticipates that many wireless microphone users 
currently operating in the 700 MHz band will have to purchase or lease 
new equipment capable of operating in the core TV spectrum. The point-
of-sale disclosure requirement will help these consumers make an 
educated decision as they obtain new microphones, and it will help them 
operate in the core TV spectrum without causing harmful interference to 
other services in the spectrum. Further, a label on 700 MHz band 
wireless microphones bound for export will help to ensure that these 
wireless microphones do not continue to be made available for use in 
the United States, in contravention of our efforts to remove them from 
the 700 MHz band.
