currently approved information collection pursuant to the Paperwork

or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number, and no person is required to respond to a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number. Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimates and 
any suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the 
person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section below.

    Needs and Uses: This information collection consolidates and 
revises the previously approved information collection requirements 
under OMB Control Numbers 3060-0655 and 3060-1064 into 3060-0812. The 
purpose of the information collection requirements are to:
    (a) The Commission uses the ``true-up'' feedback received from 
regulatees to adjust the regulatee's fee obligations accordingly.
    (b) The Commission will use the information that is submitted in 
support of requests for a waiver or deferral of the payment of an 
application fee and the waiver, deferral, or reduction of an annual 
regulatory fee to determine if the applicant has met the statutory and 
regulatory legal standards to warrant relief.
    (c) The Commission will use the information that is submitted in 
support of requests for an exemption of the payment of an application 
fee to facilitate the statutory provision that non-profit entities be 
exempt from payment of regulatory fees; and facilitate the FCC's 
ability to audit regulatory fee payment compliance.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
