the Office of Management and Budget

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 (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), 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 collection. 
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 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.

and Innovation Opportunities of Spectrum Through Incentive Auctions.'' 
This order adopted a revision to a Commission rule, 47 CFR 74.802(b), 
to permit low power auxiliary stations (LPAS), including wireless 
microphones, to operate in the bands allocated for TV broadcasting at 
revised distances from a co-channel television's contour, and provided 
LPAS operators to operate even closer to television stations provided 
that any such operations are coordinated with TV broadcast stations 
that could be affected by the LPAS operations. The Commission seeks 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new information 
collection for the coordination process adopted in the Commission's 
Report and Order, FCC 14-50 for such co-channel operations, in 47 CFR 
74.802d(b)(2).
