FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

December 29, 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 on 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 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.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before March 14, 2011. 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 the Federal Communications 
Commission. To submit your PRA comments by e-mail send them to: 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information, contact 
Judith B. Herman at 202-418-0214 or via the Internet at [email protected].

Operator, and General Mobile Radio Services.
    Form No.: FCC Form 605.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal 
government.
    Number of Respondents: 130,000 respondents; 130,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .26.4 minutes (.44 hours).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion and five and ten-year reporting 
requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure 
requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. There 
is no statutory authority for this information collection.
    Total Annual Burden: 57,200 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $2,676,700.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Records may include information 
about individuals or households, e.g., personally identifiable 
information or PII, and the use(s) and disclosure of this information 
is governed by the requirements of a system of records notice (SORN), 
FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records.'' There are no 
additional impacts under the Privacy Act.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: To protect the privacy of its 
applicants, the FCC will redact the telephone number(s) of the 
applicants and the birth date of the Commercial Radio Operator 
applicants.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year 
clearance from them. The Commission is requesting OMB approval for 
revision of this information collection. The Commission is revising FCC 
605 Schedule D to rearrange the layout of Question 2 for Vanity Call 
Sign Change; to further clarify the filing instructions; and to define 
the term ``in-law''. The Commission is requesting an adjustment 
reduction in the number of respondents from 175,000 to 130,000. There 
is an increase in annual cost to the respondents due to an increase in 
the average filing fee required to accompany applications. The cost 
increased by $138,000.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
