Abstract
As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a

follows: (1) File with the Secretary of the Commission a detailed
petition, supported by an affidavit, that states with specificity the
basis for any claim that it has failed to act; and (2) serve the state
commission and other parties to the proceeding on the same day that the
party serves the petition on the Commission. Within 15 days of filing
the petition, the state commission and parties to the proceeding may
file a response to the petition. In an OMB-approved Public Notice, DA
97-2540, released December 4, 1997, the Commission set forth procedures
for filing petitions for preemption pursuant to section 252(e)(5).
Section 252(e)(5) provides that ``if a state commission fails to act to
carry out its responsibility under this section in any proceeding or
other matter under this section, then the Commission shall issue an
order preempting the state commission's jurisdiction of the proceeding
or matter within 90 days after being notified (or taking notice) of
such failure, and shall assume the responsibility of the state
commission under this section with respect to the proceeding or matter
and act for the state commission.'' All of the requirements are used to
ensure that petitioners have complied with their obligations under the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
Federal Communications Commission.
