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. 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.

Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal
Communications Commission
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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. 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.
DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before February
4, 2025. 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 PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#673735262701040449000811"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="164644575670757538717960">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#733012071b0a5d241a1f1f1a121e00331510105d141c05"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="df9cbeabb7a6f188b6b3b3b6beb2ac9fb9bcbcf1b8b0a9">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-1042.
Title: Request for Technical Support--Help Request Form.
Form No.: N/A--Electronic only.
Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or household; business or other for-
profit; not-for-profit institutions; and state, local or tribal
government.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 36,300 respondents and 36,300
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.14 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and
recordkeeping requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. There
is no statutory authority for this information collection. The
Commission developed this information collection on its own motion to
assist users of the Universal Licensing System (ULS) or other FCC
electronic systems.
Total Annual Burden: 5,082 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $609,840.
Needs and Uses: The FCC maintains internet software used by the
public to apply for licenses, participate in auctions for spectrum, and
maintain license information. In this mission, FCC has a `help desk'
that answers questions related to these systems as well as resetting
and/or issuing user passwords for access to these systems.
The form currently is available on the website <a href="https://esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm">https://esupport.fcc.gov/request.htm</a> under OMB Control Number 3060-1042. This
form will continue to substantially decrease public and staff burden
since all the information needed to facilitate a support request will
be submitted in a standard format but be available to a wider audience.
This eliminates or at least minimizes the need to follow-up with the
customers to obtain all the information necessary to respond to their
request. This form also helps presort requests into previously defined
categories to all staff to respond more quickly.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene Dortch,
Secretary.
