for Review and Approval

May 28, 2004.
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.

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.

    Title: Regulations Concerning Indecent Communications by Telephone.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; Individuals or 
households.
    Number of Respondents: 10,200.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.13 hrs (8 mins.) (avg.)
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements; Third 
party disclosure.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,632 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: None.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: Yes.
    Needs and Uses: Under Section 223 of the Communications Act of 
1932, as amended, telephone companies are required, to the extent 
technically feasible, to prohibit access to indecent communications 
from the telephone of a subscriber who has not previously requested 
access. 47 CFR Section 64.201 implements Section 223 and contains 
several information collection requirements: (1) A requirement that 
certain common carriers block access to indecent messages unless the 
subscriber seeks access from the common carrier (telephone company) in 
writing; (2) A requirement that adult message service providers notify 
their carriers of the nature of their programming; and (3) A 
requirement that a provider of adult message services request that 
their carrier identify it as such in bills to its subscribers. The 
information requirements are imposed on carriers, adult message service 
providers, and those who solicit their services to ensure that minors 
are denied access to material deemed indecent.
    This information collection affects ``individuals or household,'' 
and the Commission has prepared a Privacy Impact Assessment as required 
by OMB Memorandum M-03-22. The categories of records, purpose(s), 
routine uses, safeguards, and disposal of the information are governed 
by the Commission's system of records, FCC/CIB-1, ``Informal Complaints 
and Inquiries,'' (66 FR 51955).
