FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
March 27, 2001.
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, 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.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0692.
Title: Home Wiring Provisions.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit.
Number of Respondents: 30,500 respondents; 253,510 responses.

Needs and Uses: This rulemaking clarified rules concerning the
disposition of cable home wiring upon the voluntary termination of
service. During the initial phone call in which a subscriber
voluntarily terminates cable service, if the operator owns and intends
to remove the home wiring it must inform the subscriber: (1) That the
cable operator owns the home wiring; (2) that it intends to remove the
wiring; (3) that the subscriber has the right to purchase the wiring;
and (4) what the per-foot replacement cost and total charge for the
wiring would be. The information is used to promote competition and
consumer choice by minimizing potential disruption of service to a
subscriber switching video providers.
OMB Control No.: 3060-0281.

Needs and Uses: This rule section revised the timeframe for

the rules are allocated on and governed by regulations designed to
award facilities on a need basis determined by the number of mobile
units served by each base station. This is necessary to avoid

frequency hoarding by applicants. The various subparagraphs of this
rule apply to different categories of licensees and define exactly what
reports are required of each category. The Commission uses the
information to maintain an accurate database of frequency users.
