continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; (d) 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 (e) 
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 OMB control number. No person 
shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection 
of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does 
not display a currently valid OMB control number.
    Dates: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before May 9, 2011. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the

    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection after this comment period to the Office of

$46,400 increase adjustment in the annual cost. This is due to an 
increase in the Commission's filing fees.

carriers are formally sound, well organized, and provide the Commission 
and the public with sufficient information to determine the justness 
and reasonableness as required by the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended, of the rates, terms and conditions of those tariffs.

Federal Communications Commission.
