Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority



AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.



ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its

public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 

on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. 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 control number. No person shall be 

subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 

information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
