FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collections Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
April 30, 1997.
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, 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 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden
estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and 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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should
submit comments by July 7, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal
Communications Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC
20554 or via Internet to dconway@fcc.gov.

Needs and Uses: The ownership, gross revenues and joint bidding
agreement information portions of this collection will be used by the
Commission to determine whether the applicant is legally, technically
and financially qualified to be a licensee. Without such information,
the Commission could not determine whether to issue the licenses to the
applicants that provide telecommunications, multi-channel video
programming distribution and other communications services to the
public and therefore fulfill its statutory responsibilities in
accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The
information will also be used to ensure the market integrity of future
auctions. Likewise, the information collected in connection with
Sec. 1.2111(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.2111(a) (transfer
disclosures), will be used to maintain the market integrity of future
auctions and prevent unjust enrichment.
Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
