SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 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 (PRA) of 1995. 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

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.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before December 
30, 2013. 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 the Federal Communications 
Commission via email to [email protected] and [email protected].

    The information is used by the Commission staff in carrying out its

necessary for the Commission to maintain effective oversight of U.S. 
carriers that are affiliated with, or involved in certain co-marketing 
or similar arrangements with, foreign carriers that have market power. 
Additionally, the information collections are necessary to analyze 
market trends to determine whether amendment of the Commission's 
existing rules or proposals of new rules are necessary to promote 
effective competition and prevent anti-competitive behavior between 
American and foreign carriers.
