FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
September 17, 2010.
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 (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. 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; (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, and (e)
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for 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 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 currently valid OMB control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before November 22, 2010. If you anticipate that you
will be submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within
the period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC
contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cathy Williams on (202) 418-2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB Control No.: 3060-1059.
Title: Global Mobile Personal Communications by Satellite (GMPCS)/
E911 Call Centers.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 25 respondents; 25 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47
USC 154, 301, 302, 303, 307, 309 and 332.
Total Annual Burden: 25 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: $7,500.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for
confidentiality with this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension
after this 60 day comment period to Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The
information collection requirements under this OMB control number
(3060-1059) are used by the Commission under its authority to license
commercial satellite services in the United States pursuant to 47 CFR
Part 25. Additionally, the Commission has the authority to ensure that
Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) providers establish and maintain
Emergency Call Center Service pursuant to 47 CFR 25.284. The
recordkeeping and reporting requirements include data on MSS call
center usage such as the aggregate number of calls that the call
centers receive and the number of calls that required forwarding to a
local Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). The Commission uses this
data to monitor compliance with the call center requirement and track
usage trends. Such information is useful to the Commission in
considering whether FCC rules require modification to accommodate the
changing market. Without this collection of information that result
from these rules, the Commission would not be able to monitor the MSS
carriers' establishment of call centers which are essential to provide
emergency services, such as handling emergency 911 telephone calls from
American citizens.
OMB Control Number: 3060-0669.
Title: Section 76.946, Advertising of Rates.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 8,250 respondents; 8,250
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes (0.5 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; Third
party disclosure requirement.
Total Annual Burden to Respondents: 4,125 hours.
Total Annual Costs: None.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The
statutory authority for this information collection is contained in
Section 4(i) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Confidentiality is not
required for this collection of information.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s)
Needs and Uses: Section 76.946 states that cable operators that
advertise for basic service and cable programming service tiers shall
be required to advertise rates that include all costs and fees. Cable
systems that cover multiple franchise areas having differing franchise
fees or other franchise costs, different channel line-ups, or different
rate structures, may advertise a complete range of fees without
specific identification of the rate for each individual area. In such
circumstances, the operator may advertise a ``fee plus'' rate that
indicates the core rate plus the range of possible additions, depending
upon the particular location of the subscriber. The Commission has set
forth this disclosure requirement to ensure consumer awareness of all
fees associated with basic service and cable programming service tier
rates.
