FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information
Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
April 22, 2011.
The Federal Communications
Commission, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork burden
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.
Comments are requested concerning: (a)
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;
(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 the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, and (e) ways to
further reduce the information
collection 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 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 currently valid OMB
control number.
SUMMARY:
Written Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before July 1, 2011. 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.

Commission via e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Leslie F. Smith, Office of Managing
Director, (202) 418–0217. For additional
information, contact [insert name,

OMD PRA analyst].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060–1064.
Title: Regulatory Fee Assessment
True-Ups.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 280 respondents; 280
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 15
minutes (0.25 hours).
Frequency of Response: Annual
reporting requirements.
Obligation To Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. Statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in Communications Law of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 4(i)–4(j), 8,
9, 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 70 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No
impacts.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality;
however, respondents may request that
materials or information submitted to
the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR Section
0.459 of FCC rules.
Needs and Uses: Section 9 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 CFR Section 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.
(Note that beginning in Fiscal Year (FY)
2004, the Commission mailed fee
assessment notifications to cable
television operators. The Commission
stopped this practice in FY 2007

because the method was ineffective and
the data sent out on the notifications
were unreliable. In OMB 3060–0855,
Telecommunications Reporting
Worksheet and Related Collections, FCC
Form 499–A, FCC499–Q, the
Commission has required regulatees to
provide e-mail address and revenue
amount as the fee assessment basis. The
Commission plans to use these e-mail
addresses collected in OMB 3060–0855
to transmit the fee assessment
notifications in the future.
With these fee assessment
notifications, we also provide regulatees
with a ‘‘true-up’’ (i.e., which is to fit,
place or shape accurately), 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 Commissionauthorized Web site at https://
www.fcc.fees.com <https://
www.fcc.fees.com/> to key-in
corrections to their assessment
information.

Total Annual Cost: $518,800.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes.
The Commission has a System of
Records, FCC/WTB–1, ‘‘Wireless
Services Licensing Record,’’ which
covers the personally-identifiable
information (PII) that individual
applicants may include in their
submissions for licenses or grants of
equipment authorization.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is a need for confidentiality with
respect to filers who are individuals in
this collection. Pursuant to section
208(b) of the E–Government Act of
2002, 44 U.S.C. 3501, in conformance
with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C.
552(a), the Commission’s Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau)
instructs licensees to use the FCC’s
Universal Licensing System (ULS),
Antenna Structure Registration (ASR),
Commission Registration System
(CORES), and related systems and
subsystems to submit information.
CORES is used to obtain a FCC
Registration Number (FRN) and
password, after which one must register
all current call sign and ASR numbers
associated with a FRN within the
Bureau’s system of records (ULS
database). Although ULS stores all
information pertaining to the individual
licensee via the FRN, confidential
information is accessible only by
persons or entities that hold the
password for each account and the
Bureau’s licensing staff. Upon the
request for a FRN, the individual
licensee is consenting to make publicly
available, via the ULS database, all
information that is not confidential in
nature.
Needs and Uses: The Commission is
requesting OMB approval for a revision
of this information collection (IC). The
Commission has significantly reduced
the burden in this information
collection because we have streamlined
and eliminated outdated rule sections;
eliminated rule requirements that are
covered under other OMB control
numbers, and eliminated rule sections
that were part of this collection but are
not information collections, but instead
are policies the Commission published
in the public interest. Finally, any
duplicate information collections were
also removed from this IC.
The information collected pursuant to
rules in Part 22 of the Commission’s
rules is primarily used by Commission
staff to determine, on a case-by-case
basis, whether or not to grant licenses
authorizing construction and operation
of wireless telecommunications
facilities to qualified applicants and
licensees, who supply this information
when apply for such licenses.
