Federal Communications Commission

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 of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 valid control
number. 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; and (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.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before November 19, 2004. 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.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments regarding this Paperwork Reduction Act
submission to Judith B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, Room
1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW., DC 20554 or via the Internet to

Process and Tariff Requirements.

Needs and Uses: On June 30, 2004, the Commission released a Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking, IB Docket No. 04-226, FCC 04-133 in which we
proposed mandatory electronic filing of the International Section 2134
authorizations, including a new ``International Section 214
Authorization for Assignment or Transfer of Control'' form. This is in
response to high public demand for electronic forms. Although this
proceeding is still in progress, we propose to make the Section 214
assignments and transfers form available to the public for electronic
filing on a voluntary basis. Applicants would have the option, at this
time, to complete a paper application or file the form with the
Commission electronically in the International Bureau Filing System
(IBFS).
