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

on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork

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
