The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507). Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M Street, N.W., Suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For further information on these submissions contact Judy Boley, Federal Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214. Persons wishing to comment on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-3561. OMB Number: 3060-0206. Title: Part 21--Domestic Public Fixed Radio Services. Action: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small businesses). Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping, semi-annual, annual and on occasion reporting requirements. Estimated Annual Burden: 28,616 responses, 1.9 hours average burden per response, 54,370 hours total reporting burden; 100 recordkeepers, 2 hours average burden per recordkeeper; 54,570 hours total annual burden. Needs and Uses: The information requested under Part 21 is used by the Commission staff to fulfill its obligations as set forth in Sections 308 and 309 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to determine the technical, legal and other qualifications of applicants to operate a station in the Domestic Public Fixed Radio Services. The information will also be used to determine whether grant of an application will service the public interest, convenience and necessity. The staff also uses this information to ensure that applicants and licensees comply with the ownership and transfer restrictions imposed by Section 310 of the Act. On February 9, 1993, the Commission released Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in CC Docket No. 93-2, proposing to allow pre-authorization construction of Point-to-Point Microwave Radio Service stations, reduce the PPMRS station construction period, eliminate FCC Forms 430 and 494-A, and to consolidate FCC Forms 702 and 704. Comments have been filed in response to this NPRM and the staff is now drafting a Report and Order. The final disposition of this proceeding is expected during the fourth quarter of FY 1994. OMB Number: 3060-0298. Title: Part 61--Tariffs (Other than Tariff Review Plan). Action: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit. Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement. Estimated Annual Burden: 4,797 responses; 203 hours average burden per response; 972,423 hours total annual burden. Needs and Uses: Various sections of the Communications Act require that common carriers establish just and reasonable charges, practices and regulations for the services they provide. The schedules containing these charges, practices and regulations must be filed with the Commission which is required to determine whether such schedules are just, reasonable and not unduly discriminatory. Part 61 of the Commission's rules establishes the procedures for filing tariffs which contain the charges, practices and regulations of the common carriers, supporting economic data and other related documents. The supporting data must also conform to other parts of the Rules such as Parts 36 and 69. Part 61 prescribes the framework for the initial establishment of and subsequent revisions to tariffs. Tariffs that do not conform to Part 61 requirements may be rejected. The information collected through a carrier's tariff is used by the Commission to determine whether the services offered are just and reasonable as the Act requires. The tariffs and any supporting documentation are examined in order to determine if the services are offered in a just and reasonable manner. If tariffs were not filed, the FCC would not be able to carry out its responsibilities as required by the Act. As of August 18, 1993, all domestic non-dominant carriers are required to file on diskettes. Federal Communications Commission. William F. Caton, Acting Secretary.
