FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Submitted for Review and Approval to 
the Office of Management and Budget

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: 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. 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.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before June 27, 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.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via e-mail to 
Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov and to the Federal Communications 
Commission via e-mail to PRA@fcc.gov and Benish.Shah@fcc.gov. To view a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0053.
    Title: Experimental Authorization Applications-FCC Form 702, 
Consent to Assign; and FCC Form 703, Consent to Transfer Control of 
Corporation Holding Station License.
    Form Nos.: FCC Forms 702 and 703.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 50 respondents; 50 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.6 hours (36 minutes).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and third 
party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. sections 154, 301, 302 and 303.
    Total Annual Burden: 30 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $3,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality. However, if respondents wish to request that their 
information be withheld from public inspection, they may do so under 47 
CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this revised information 
collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) after this 
comment period to obtain the three year clearance from them. The 
Commission is reporting a 6 hour increase and a $600 annual cost 
increase. The reason for the increase is that the Commission is merging 
the burden estimates together into one comprehensive experimental 
authorization application information collection.
    The Commission currently has OMB approval for FCC Form 702 under 
OMB Control Number 3060-0068 and for FCC Form 703 under OMB Control 
Number 3060-0053. The Commission is revising this information 
collection (IC) to merge FCC Form 702 into this collection. There is no 
change in the reporting or *16772 third party disclosure requirements. 
We are simply consolidating these two information collections into one 
comprehensive collection. Upon OMB approval, the Commission will 
discontinue OMB Control Number 3060-0068 and retain OMB Control Number 
3060-0053 as the active OMB number.

Federal Communications Commission.

Deputy Manager, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
