FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission, Comments Requested
December 29, 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 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 OMB 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 OMB control number.
DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be
submitted on or before March 14, 2011. 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 the Federal Communications
Commission. To submit your PRA comments by e-mail send them to:
[email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information, contact
Judith B. Herman at 202-418-0214 or via the Internet at [email protected].

[[Page 2377]]
Operator, and General Mobile Radio Services.
Form No.: FCC Form 605.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and state, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents: 130,000 respondents; 130,000 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .26.4 minutes (.44 hours).
Frequency of Response: On occasion and five and ten-year reporting
requirements, recordkeeping requirement and third party disclosure
requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. There
is no statutory authority for this information collection.
Total Annual Burden: 57,200 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $2,676,700.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Records may include information
about individuals or households, e.g., personally identifiable
information or PII, and the use(s) and disclosure of this information
is governed by the requirements of a system of records notice (SORN),
FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless Services Licensing Records.'' There are no
additional impacts under the Privacy Act.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: To protect the privacy of its
applicants, the FCC will redact the telephone number(s) of the
applicants and the birth date of the Commercial Radio Operator
applicants.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
after this 60 day comment period in order to obtain the full three year
clearance from them. The Commission is requesting OMB approval for
revision of this information collection. The Commission is revising FCC
605 Schedule D to rearrange the layout of Question 2 for Vanity Call
Sign Change; to further clarify the filing instructions; and to define
the term ``in-law''. The Commission is requesting an adjustment
reduction in the number of respondents from 175,000 to 130,000. There
is an increase in annual cost to the respondents due to an increase in
the average filing fee required to accompany applications. The cost
increased by $138,000.

Secretary.
