FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority, Comments Requested
January 9, 2008.
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 (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it
displays a current valid control number. No person shall be subject to
any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information
subject to the 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before March 17,
2008. 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 FCC contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: You may submit all PRA comments by e-mail or U.S. mail. To
submit your comments by e-mail, send them to PRA@fcc.gov. To submit
your comments by U.S. mail, send them to Leslie F. Smith, Federal
Communications Commission, Room 1-C216, 445 12th Street, SW.,

Nature of Extent of Confidentiality: The Commission is not
requesting that the respondents submit confidential information to the
FCC. Respondents may, however, request confidential treatment for
information they believe to be confidential under 47 CFR 0.459 of the
Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission's rules, under 47 CFR 1.1206,
require that a public record be made of ex parte presentations (i.e.,
written presentations not served on all parties to the proceeding or
oral presentations as to which all parties have not been given notice
and an opportunity to be present) to decision-making personnel in
``permit-but-disclose'' proceedings, such as notice-and-comment
rulemakings and declaratory ruling proceedings. Persons making such
presentations must file two copies of written presentations and two
copies of memoranda reflecting new data or arguments in oral
presentations no later than the next business day after the
presentation. The information is used by parties to permit-but-disclose
proceedings, including interested members of the public, to respond to
the arguments made and data offered in the presentations. The responses
may then be used by the Commission in its decision-making. The
availability of the ex parte materials ensures that the Commission's
decisional processes are fair, impartial, and comport with the concept
of due process in that all interested parties can know of and respond
to the arguments made to the decision-making officials.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
