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

the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the

Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of

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
