FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

March 21, 2011.
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 currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before May 24, 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 via e-mail to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judith B. Herman, Office of Managing 
Director, (202) 418-0214. For additional information, contact Judith B. 
Herman, OMD, 202-418-0214 or e-mail [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0053.
    Title: Experimental Authorization Applications--FCC Form 702, 
Consent to Assign; and FCC Form 703, Consent to Transfer Control of 
Corporation Holding Station License.
    Form Nos.: FCC Form 702 and 703.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.6 hours (36 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. sections 154, 302 and 303.
    Total Annual Burden: 30 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $3,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. However, if respondents wish to request that their 
information be withheld from public inspection, they may do so under 47 
CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revised information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 
comment period to obtain the three year clearance from them. The 
Commission is reporting a 6 hour increase and a $600 annual cost 
increase. The reason for the increase is that the Commission is merging 
the burden estimates together into one comprehensive experimental 
authorization application information collection.
    The Commission currently has OMB approval for FCC Form 702 under 
OMB Control Number 3060-0068 and for FCC Form 703 under OMB Control 
Number 3060-0053. The Commission is revising this information 
collection (IC) to merge FCC Form 702 into this collection. There is no 
change in the reporting or

third party disclosure requirements. We are simply consolidating these 
two information collections into one comprehensive collection. Upon OMB 
approval, the Commission will discontinue OMB Control Number 3060-0068 
and retain OMB Control Number 3060-0053 as the active OMB number.

Federal Communications Commission.
