[[Page 41257]]
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, 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 information techniques
or other forms of information technology.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before September 2,
1998. 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,
Room 234, 1919 M St., NW., Washington, DC 20554 or via internet to
lesmith@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval Number: 3060-0639.
Title: Implementation of Section 309 (j) of the Communications Act,
Competitive Bidding, PP Docket No. 93-253, First Report and Order.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities; Individuals or
households.
Number of Respondents: 400.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 400 hours.
Cost to Respondents: $0.
Needs and Uses: Section 3002 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
amended Section 309 (j), to, in effect, reduce the situations in which
the use of random selection is appropriate. While the Commission
proposes to reduce the number of respondents, it does not reduce the
burden hours required to complete an individual information collection.
The Commission seeks comments on this proposal and other methods by
which the burden on respondents may be reduced.
The Commission will use the information to determine whether the
public interest would be served by granting a transfer of control or an
assignment of a license awarded through lottery procedures. The
foregoing estimates include the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the burden estimates or any other
aspect of the collection of information.
Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
