FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

July 22, 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 October 4, 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

    On June 15, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission 
(``Commission'') released a Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O), FCC 
07-103, which denied a petition for rulemaking to extend the 
requirement that all cellular radiotelephone licensees provide analog 
service e to subscribers and roamers whose equipment conforms to the 
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) standard. This requirement will 
sunset on February 18, 2008. In the MO&O, the Commission also directed 
cellular radiotelephone service licensees to notify their remaining 
analog subscribers of the sunset date and of their intention to 
discontinue AMPS-compatible analog service at least four months before 
such discontinuance, and a second time, at least 30 days before such 
discontinuance (the ``consumer-notice requirement'').
    The consumer-notice requirement will ensure that remaining analog 
cellular service subscribers, including persons with hearing 
disabilities, are fully apprised of the sunset of the analog cellular 
service requirement.
