FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Submitted to OMB for
Review and Approval
July 11, 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(s), 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 August 25,
1997. 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 Judy Boley, Federal Communications
Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via
internet to jboley@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval Number: 3060-0763.
Title: ARMIS Customer Satisfaction Report.
FCC Report No.: FCC 43-06.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 8.
Estimated Time Per Response: 900 hours.
Cost to Respondents: N/A.
Total Annual Burden: 7,200 hours.
Needs and Uses: FCC Report 43-06, the Customer Satisfaction Report,
reflects the results of customer satisfaction surveys conducted by
individual carriers from residential and business customers on
installation and repair orders. The information contained in the
automated reports provides the necessary detail to enable the
Commission to fulfill its regulatory responsibilities. Automated
reporting of these data greatly enhances the Commission's ability to
process and analyze the extensive amounts of data that are needed to
administer its rules. Automating and organizing data submitted to the
Commission facilitate the timely and efficient analyses of revenue
requirements, rate of return and price caps, and satisfaction surveys
of customer installation and repair requests, and to provide an
improved basis for auditing and other oversight functions and enhance
the Commission's ability to quantify the effects of policy proposals.

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0414.
Title: Terrain Shielding Policy.
Type of Review: Reinstatement without change, of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit
institutions; state, local, or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 300.
Estimated Time Per Response: 10 hours.
Cost to Respondents: A consulting engineer would prepare the
terrain shielding waiver request. This consulting engineer is estimated
to have an average salary of $125/hour. Therefore, 300 waiver requests
x 9 hours x @125/hour=$337,500.
Total Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Needs and Uses: The terrain shielding policy requires low power
television applicants to submit: detailed terrain studies; or assent of
potentially affected parties and graphic depiction of terrain when
intervening terrain prevents a low power television applicant from
interfering with other low power television or full-power television
stations. The data are used by FCC staff to determine if adequate
protection can be provided by terrain shielding and if waiver of rules
is warranted.
