FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information

Collection(s) Being Submitted to OMB

for Review and Approval

October 3, 2000.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications

Commission, 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

61330 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 201 / Tuesday, October 17, 2000 / Notices

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 November 16,

2000. 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

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554 or

via the Internet to lesmith@fcc.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

additional information or copies of the

information collections contact Les

Smith at (202) 418–0217 or via the

Internet at lesmith@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control Number: 3060–0816.

Title: Local Competition and

Broadband Reporting, CC Docket No.

99–301.

Form Number: FCC Report 477.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities.

Number of Respondents: 255.

Estimate Time Per Response: 58.67

hours (avg.).

Frequency of Response: Semi-annual

reporting requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 29,924 hours.

Total Annual Costs: None.

Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 477

seeks to gather information on the

development of local competition and

deployment of broadband service also

known as advanced telecommunications

services. The data are necessary to

evaluate the status of developing

competition in local exchange

telecommunications markets and to

evaluate the status of broadband

deployment. The Commission staff uses

the information to advise the

Commission about the efficacy of the

FCC rules and policies adopted to

implement the Telecommunications Act

of 1996.

OMB Control Number: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Notification of Emergency Alert

System Status.

Form Number: N/A.

Type of Review: New collection.

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

institutions; and State, local, or tribal

government.

Number of Respondents: 125.

Estimate Time Per Response: 30

minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 62 hours.

Total Annual Costs: None.

Needs and Uses: Due to the state’s

size, remoteness, and isolation, it is

difficult for the resident agent of the

FCC’s Alaska office to make on-thescene inspections to insure that the FM

translators are in compliance with the

Emergency Alert System (EAS) rules

adopted on January 1, 1997. The agent

is, therefore, developing a survey to

determine whether the FM translators

are either rebroadcasting local

programming in their entirety, including

the EAS warnings, or, if not, then

whether the FM translator station has

EAS equipment installed and working

properly. FM translator stations that are

not in compliance could present a

safety-of-life issue to the listening

public.

acting on the recommendation of the

Federal-State Joint Board on Universal

Service (the Joint Board), encouraged

the Joint Board to establish a Rural Task

Force to ‘‘provide valuable assistance in

identifying the issues unique to rural

carriers and analyzing the

appropriateness of proxy cost models

for rural carriers.’’ On September 17,

1997, the Joint Board announced the

creation of the Rural Task Force and

directed it to present a report to the

Joint Board making specific

recommendations on the establishment

of a forward-looking economic cost

mechanism for rural telephone

companies. The Joint Board will

consider this report in formulating a

recommendation to the Commission for

universal service reform for rural

carriers.

On September 29, 2000, the Rural

Task Force submitted the Rural Task

Force Recommendation To The FederalState Joint Board On Universal Service.

This recommendation, as well as

supporting materials, are available on

the Joint Board’s Web page at http://

www.fcc.gov/ccb/universal service/

joint.html and the Rural Task Force’s
