Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 

Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority



AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.



ACTION: Notice and request for comments.



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



SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 

on the following information collection, 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 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 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 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control number.



DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before September 

6, 2011. 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.
