FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
July 29, 2002.
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 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 October 7, 2002. 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 Herman, Federal
Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW, Room 1-C804,
Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to jboley@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0683.
Title: Direct Broadcast Satellite Service.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 6 respondents; 35 responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1.5-20 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, one-time, and annual reporting
requirements, and recordkeeping requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 3,200 hours.
Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $50,000.
Needs and Uses: The Commission sought and received emergency
clearance of this information collection on 7/26/02. The Commission is
now initiating a 60-day comment period to extend this collection with
no change for the regular, three-year approval.
This information collection, among other things, previously
modified Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) to Part 25 of the
Commission's rules, and eliminated Part 100 of the Commission's rules.
These revisions were necessary to simplify the procedures applicable to
DBS, to eliminate unnecessary filing requirements, and to harmonize the
DBS licensing process with that of other satellite services.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
