FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
September 24, 1998.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commissions, 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 (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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should
submit comments November 30, 1998. If you anticipate that you will be
submitting comments, but find it difficult to do so within the period

Needs and Uses: The Commission released a public notice on August
10, 1998, that explains how ``nonchecklist'' applications (i.e.,
applications that do not conform to certain criteria to enable fast-
track processing) will be processed for DTV station construction
permits. This public notice explains what should be included in
engineering showings and other types of application exhibits and cover
letters. This public notice for ``nonchecklist'' applications should
help to resolve processing uncertainties, enable the preparation of
complete and quality applications, and hasten the authorization of DTV
service. The data provided will be used by FCC staff to ensure that
interference to other DTV and NTSC stations is minimized.
Federal Communications Commission.
