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

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 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 June 1, 2011. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via the Internet at

Mobile Radio Services.
    Form Number: FCC Form 605.
    Type of Review: Extension 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 and Responses: 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.
    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 (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 collection to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) during this comment period as an 
extension (no change in the reporting, recordkeeping and/or third party 
disclosure requirements).
    The Commission is amending the FCC Form 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/responses from 175,000 to 130,000. There is an increase in 
the annual cost to the respondent due to an increase in the average 
filing fee required to accompany applications. The total annual cost 
increased by $138,000.

Federal Communications Commission.
