and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) 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.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this revised

This collection has been revised because we have eliminated the
cost study and third party disclosure requirements. The information
collection requirements that remain in this submission to OMB are: (a)
Showings under the market-based approach; (b) contract-based tariff
filings; (c) proposed deaveraging of common line and traffic sensitive
access elements; and (d) proposed common line and traffic sensitive
Phase II showings. The information to be collected by the Commission by
incumbent LECs for use in determining whether the incumbent LECs should
receive regulatory relief proposed in the Orders referenced in the
title above. The information collected under the Second Order on
Reconsideration and Memorandum Opinion and Order would be submitted by
LECs to the interexchange carriers (IXCs) for use in developing the
most cost-efficient rates and rate structures.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0207.
Title: Part 11--Emergency Alert System (EAS).
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 63,000 respondents; 3,402,762 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .017 hours-40 hours.

recordkeeping requirement, and third party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 62,472 hours.

Needs and Uses: The Commission is submitting this information
collection to OMB for revision. The Commission revised this collection
by eliminating the one-time voluntary purchase of a computer chip to
update event and location codes contained in Section 11.31 (165,00
burden hours and $8,250,000 cost burden) that was approved by OMB on 1/
23/03. The program change decrease in hour burden is slightly offset by
the inclusion of new additional respondents, i.e., digital television,
digital radio, digital cable, and satellite television and radio. There
were no changes in the reporting, recordkeeping or third party
disclosure requirements.
Federal Communications Commission.
