FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
[OMB 3060–1095; FR ID 217096]
Information Collection Being Reviewed
by the Federal Communications
Commission Under Delegated
Authority
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), 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(s).
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 July 1, 2024. 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 contacts below as soon as
possible.
SUMMARY:
Direct all PRA comments to
Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to PRA@
fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy
Williams at (202) 418–2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Surrenders of Authorizations for
International Carrier, Space Station and
Earth Station Licensees.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.
Number of Respondents: 8
respondents; 8 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion
reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
The statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in
Sections 4(i), 7(a), 11, 303(c), 303(f),
303(g), and 303(r) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended; 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 157(a), 161,
303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and 303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 8 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
Needs and Uses: This collection will
be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) as an
extension after this 60-day comment
period has ended in order to obtain the
full three-year clearance from OMB.
There are no changes in the number of
respondents, responses, annual burden
hours and total annual costs.
Licensees file surrenders of
authorizations with the Commission on
a voluntary basis. This information is
used by Commission staff to issue
Public Notices to announce the
surrenders of authorization to the
general public. The Commission’s
release of Public Notices is critical to
keeping the general public abreast of the
licensees’ discontinuance of
telecommunications services.
Without this collection of
information, licensees would be
required to submit surrenders of
authorizations to the Commission by
letter which is more time consuming
than submitting such requests to the
Commission electronically. In addition,
Commission staff would spend an
extensive amount of time processing
surrenders of authorizations received by
letter. The collection of information
saves time for both licensees and
Commission staff since they are
received in IBFS electronically and
include only the information that is
essential to process the requests in a
timely manner. Furthermore, the Efiling module expedites the Commission
staff’s announcement of surrenders of
authorizations via Public Notice.
