SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commissions, as part of its 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, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An 

agency 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 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

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; and (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.

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted on or before December 15, 

2004. 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 comments to Les 

Smith, Federal Communications 

Commission, Room 1–A804, 445 12th

Internet at Leslie.Smith@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0788. 

Title: DTV Showings/Interference 

Agreements. 

Form Number: FCC Form 301 and 

FCC Form 340. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; and Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 300. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement; and Third party 

disclosure. 

Total Annual Burden: 1,500 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $2,400,000. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: Section III–D of the 

FCC Form 301 and Section VII of the 

FCC Form 340 begin with a 

‘‘Certification Checklist.’’ This checklist 

contains a series of questions by which 

applicants may certify compliance with 

key processing requirements. The first 

certification requires conformance with 

the DTV Table of Allotments. The 

Commission allows flexibility for DTV 

facilities to be constructed at locations 

within five kilometers of the reference 

allotment sites without consideration of 

additional interference to analog or DTV 

service, provided the DTV service does 

not exceed the allotment reference 

height above average terrain or effective 

radiated power. In order for the 

Commission to process applications that 

cannot certify affirmatively, 47 CFR 

Section 73.623(c) requires applicants to 

submit a technical showing to establish 

that their proposed facilities will not 

result in additional interference to TV 

broadcast and DTV operations. 

Additionally, the Commission permits 

broadcasters to agree to proposed DTV 

facilities that do not conform to the 

initial allotment parameters, even 

though they might be affected by 

potential new interference. The 

Commission will consider granting 

applications on the basis of interference 

agreements if it finds that such grants 

will serve the public interest. These 

agreements must be signed by all parties 

to the agreement. In addition, the 

Commission needs the following 

information to enable such public 

interest determinations: A list of parties 

predicted to receive additional 

interference from the proposed facility, 

a showing as to why a grant based on 

the agreements would serve the public 

interest, and technical studies depicting 

the additional interference. 

In 2001, the Commission removed 

from this collection all references to 

industry frequency coordination 

committees. These committees did not 

evolve. Respondents have been using 

consulting engineers and attorneys to 

prepare the technical showings and 

interference agreements.

OMB Control Number: 3060–0685. 

Title: Annual Updating of Maximum 

Permitted Rates for Regulated Cable 

Services, FCC Form 1240. 

Form Number: FCC 1240. 

Type of Review: Revision of currently 

approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; and State, local, or tribal 

government. 

Number of Respondents: 3,000. 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

hour (avg.). 

Frequency of Response: Annual 

reporting requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 30,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: $562,500. 

Privacy Impact Assessment: No 

impact(s). 

Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 1240 

is filed with the local franchising 

authorities (‘‘LFAs’’) by cable operators 

seeking to adjust maximum permitted 

rates to reflect changes in external costs. 

The Commission authored the Form 

1240 to enable local franchising 

authorities to adjudicate permitted rates 

for regulated cable rates, services, and 

equipment; for the addition and/or 

deletion of channels; and for allowance 

for pass through of external costs due to 

inflation.

Summary of the Notice of Inquiry 

On October 14, 2004, the Commission 

adopted a Notice of Inquiry on the Effect 

of Foreign Mobile Termination Rates on 

U.S. Customers. By this Notice of 

Inquiry, the Commission seeks to 

develop a record on foreign mobile 

termination rates that will enable the 

Commission to assess properly the 

effects of foreign mobile termination 

rates on U.S. customers and competition 

in the U.S.-international services 

market. 

In the Notice of Inquiry, the 

Commission seeks comment on foreign 

mobile termination rate payment flows 

and the relevant regulatory regimes. The 

Commission seeks input, analyses, and 

comments on the concerns raised by 

parties in the ISP Reform Order, FCC 

04–53, 69 FR 23151, April 28, 2004, and 

on actions taken by foreign national 

regulatory authorities to address mobile 

termination rates within their respective 

jurisdictions. In addition, the 

Commission asks for factual information 

and data on foreign mobile termination 

rates. Finally, the Commission seeks 

comment on the appropriate framework 

by which the Commission can analyze 

whether foreign mobile termination 

rates are unreasonably high. 

The Commission encourages all 

interested parties to respond to the 

questions and requests set forth in the 

Notice of Inquiry.

Ordering Clauses 

Pursuant to the authority contained in 

47 U.S.C. Sections 151, 4(i), 201, 202,
