SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden(s)
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) invites the
general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to

utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate(s); ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the

of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does
not display a valid OMB Control Number.

Management and Budget (OMB), via fax at: (202) 395-5167 or via the

are ordinarily maintained as business records and can be easily
assembled. The FCC uses the information submitted in support of the
waiver request to determine if such waiver is warranted.
