FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority, Comments Requested

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden(s) 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501--3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collection(s). Comments are 
requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate(s); 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 automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and further ways to reduce the 
information 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 valid OMB Control Number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before June 30, 2014. 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: Submit your PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB), via fax at: (202) 395-5167 or via the 
Internet at [email protected] and to Leslie F. Smith, 
Office of Managing Director (OMD), Federal Communications Commission 
(FCC), via the Internet at [email protected]. To submit your PRA 
comments by email, please send them to: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control Number: 3060-1064.
    Title: Regulatory Fee Assessment True-Ups.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 280 respondents; 280 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes (0.25 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 70 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentially. However, respondents may request materials or 
information submitted to the Commission be withheld from public 
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the FCC's rules.
    Needs and Uses: Section 9 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, 47 CFR 9, mandates that the Commission collect annual 
regulatory fees from its regulatees. To facilitate this effort, the 
Commission publishes various Public Notices and Fact Sheets each year 
that (1) announce when fees payments are due; (2) provide the current 
schedule of fee amounts for all service categories; and (3) provide 
guidance for making fee payments to the Commission.
    The Commission mails fee assessment notifications to broadcast 
licensees and commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) licensees on an 
annual basis. With these fee assessment notifications, we also provide 
regulatees with a ``true-up'' opportunity to contact the FCC to update 
or otherwise correct their assessed fee amounts well before the actual 
due date for payment of regulatory fees. Providing a ``true-up'' 
opportunity is necessary because the

data sources that were used to generate the fee assessments may not be 
complete or accurate.
    The Commission offers several ways for regulatees to ``true-up'' 
their assessed fee amount. Regulatees may (1) call the Commission's 
Financial Operations Help Desk; (2) return their amended assessment 
notification or otherwise send written correspondence to a designated 
Commission mailing address; and/or (3) use a Commission-authorized Web 
site at www.fcc.fees.com to key-in corrections to their assessment 
information.

Federal Communications Commission.
