Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 220 / Wednesday, November 14, 2018 / Notices
the Commission may be required to
withhold from disclosure certain
information about the location,
character, or ownership of a historic
property, including traditional religious
sites.
Needs and Uses: The Commission
will submit this collection as revision to
the currently approved collection. The
Commission is slightly revising the
electronic form to include five
additional data elements, FCC
Registration Number, Call Sign,
Antenna Registration Number, Facility
ID and File Number. Today customers
are asked to include this information as
part of their narrative description and
often neglect to include all the
necessary information to process their
request. This results in customer
services representatives needing to
contact the customers to obtain the
additional details, which slows down
case resolution. We do not anticipate
these changes will impact the customer
burden, since they will only need to
include the information applicable to
their request, and it was previous
requested as part of the description
field. There will be no change to the
estimated average burden (hours and
costs) or the number of respondents.
The FCC’s maintains internet software
used by the public to apply for licenses,
participate in auctions for spectrum,
and maintain license information. In
this mission, FCC has a ‘help desk’ that
answers questions related to these
systems as well as resetting and/or
issuing user passwords for access to
these systems. The form currently is
available on the website https://
esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm under
OMB Control Number 3060–1042. This
form will continue to substantially
decrease public and staff burden since
all the information needed to facilitate
a support request will be submitted in
a standard format but be available to a
wider audience. This eliminates or at
least minimizes the need to follow-up
with the customers to obtain all the
information necessary to respond to
their request. This form also helps
presort requests into previously defined
categories to all staff to respond more
quickly.

ACTION: Notice and request for

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 comments should be
submitted on or before January 14, 2019.
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
