Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the 
Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the 
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to 
comment on the following information collections. 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; 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 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 Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 12, 
2023. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

the Filing of the Report by Non-Reimbursable Stations, MB Docket No. 
16-306, Public Notice, 32 FCC Rcd 256 (IATF/Med. Bur. 2017). The 
Incentive Auction Task Force and Media Bureau described the information 
that must be provided in the adopted FCC Form 2100, Schedule 387

to receive reimbursement of associated expenses from the Reimbursement 
Fund (Non-Reimbursable Stations), but must transition to new channels 
as part of the Commission's channel reassignment plan, to file progress 
reports in the same manner and on the same schedule as Reimbursable 
Stations, and sought comment on that proposal. By Public Notice 
released May 18, 2017. The Incentive Auction Task Force and Media
