Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection(s). 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; 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; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 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 OMB control number.

[[Page 36548]]
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on the following information
collection(s). 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; 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; and
ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) 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 OMB control number.

you should advise the contacts below as soon as possible.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-1095.
Title: Surrenders of Authorizations for International Carrier,
Space Station and Earth Station Licensees.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
Number of Respondents: 8 respondents; 8 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. The statutory authority for this
information collection is contained in Sections 4(i), 7(a), 11, 303(c),
303(f), 303(g), and 303(r) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended; 47 U.S.C. 154(i), 157(a), 161, 303(c), 303(f), 303(g), and
303(r).
Total Annual Burden: 8 hours.
Annual Cost Burden: None.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: In general, there is no need
for confidentiality with is collection of information.
Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) as an extension after this 60-day comment
period has ended in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from
OMB. There are no changes in the number of respondents, responses,
annual burden hours and total annual costs.
Licensees file surrenders of authorizations with the Commission on
a voluntary basis. This information is used by Commission staff to
issue Public Notices to announce the surrenders of authorization to the
general public. The Commission's release of Public Notices is critical
to keeping the general public abreast of the licensees' discontinuance
of telecommunications services.
Without this collection of information, licensees would be required
to submit surrenders of authorizations to the Commission by letter
which is more time consuming than submitting such requests to the
Commission electronically. In addition, Commission staff would spend an
extensive amount of time processing surrenders of authorizations
received by letter. The collection of information saves time for both
licensees and Commission staff since they are received in IBFS
electronically and include only the information that is essential to
process the requests in a timely manner. Furthermore, the E-filing
module expedites the Commission staff's announcement of surrenders of
authorizations via Public Notice.
