FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
February 5, 1999.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 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 comments should be submitted on or before April 19,
1999. 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 to Les Smith, Federal Communications
Commissions, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554 or via the
Internet to lesmith@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies
of the information collections contact Les Smith at (202) 418-0217 or
via the Internet at lesmith@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0686.
Title: Report and Order, Streamlining the International Section 214
Authorization Process and Tariff Requirements, IB Docket No. 95-118.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 18.
Estimated Time Per Response: 2 to 20 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annually; Semi-annually; Quarterly; and On
Occasion reporting requirements; Third Party disclosure.
Total Annual Burden: 90 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $9,000.
Needs and Uses: Under Sec. 63.19, carriers will be required to
notify their customers and provide the Commission with a copy of the
notification, at least 60 days prior to discontinuation of
international telecommunications service. The information will enable
the Commission to confirm that international service providers wishing
to discontinue service give sufficient notice to allow consumers to
obtain alternative service. We estimate that 15 respondents will submit
this information to their customers and the Commission, and it should
take two hours per response, for a total of 30 burden hours for this
rule section.
Under Sec. 63.53(c), applicants filing information or documents in
a foreign language in a Sec. 214 proceeding are required to submit a
certified English translation of the information. The translation will
eliminate the time and resources needed to translate documents, and
enable the Commission to make documents readily available for the
public. We estimate that three respondents will submit this
information, and it should take 20 hours per response, for a total of
60 burden hours for this rule section.
(Note: The Commission adopted a report and order in this
proceeding, Streamlining the International Section 214 Authorization
Process and Tariff Requirements, IB Docket No. 95-118 (61 FR 15724,
April 9, 1996). The report and order contained new and modified
paperwork burdens. The Commission sought and received approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for all but two of the
information collections contained in the order (62 FR 51377, October
1, 1997). Through a clerical error, Secs. 63.19 and 63.53(c) were
inadvertently omitted from the Commission's information collection
submission to OMB.)
