Form No.: FCC Form 460.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Not-for-profit

institutions, federal government, state,

local or tribal government.

Number of Respondents: 150

respondents.

Estimated Time Per Response: .25

Total Annual Burden: 37 hours.

Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Needs and Uses: Pursuant to section

410(b) of the Communications Act of

1934, as amended, on October 8, 1999,

the Commission convened a FederalState Joint Conference on Advanced

Telecommunications Services to

provide a forum for cooperative

dialogue and information exchange

between and among state and federal

jurisdictions regarding the deployment

of advanced telecommunications

services. As part of this ongoing effort,

a searchable on-line database of

community broadband demand

aggregation and deployment efforts is

being established. The collection of

information from respondents is entirely

voluntary. The information will be used

by the Commission to prepare reports

that help inform consumers and policy

makers at the state and federal levels of

the status of deployment of broadband

services. The Commission will use this

information to better inform our

understanding of broadband

deployment in conjunction with our

Congressionally required Section 706

reports. Absent this information

collection, the Commission will lack an

essential tool for assisting it in

determining the effectiveness of its

policies and fulfilling its statutory

responsibilities in accordance with the

Communications Act of 1934, as

amended.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the

Federal Communications Commission

November 30, 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(s), 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 January 8, 2001.

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 Judy

Boley, Federal Communications

Commission, Room 1–C804, 445 12th

Street, SW, DC 20554 or via the Internet

to jboley@fcc.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

additional information or copies of the

information collection(s), contact Judy

Boley at 202–418–0214 or via the

Internet at jboley@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control No.: 3060–XXXX.

Title: Sections 80.385, 80.475, and

90.303, Automated Marine

Telecommunications Service (AMTS).

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Existing collection in

use without OMB control number.

Respondents: Individuals or

households and businesses or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 20.

Estimated Time Per Response: .50

hours.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement and third party

disclosure requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 10 hours.

Total Annual Cost: N/A.

Needs and Uses: The reporting

requirements are necessary to require

licensees of Automated Maritime

Telecommunications System (AMTS)

stations to notify TV stations and two

organizations (the American Radio

Relay League (ARRL), and Interactive

Systems, Inc.) that maintain databases of

AMTS locations for the benefit of

amateur radio operators of the location

of AMTS fill-in stations. Amateur radio

operators use some of the same

frequencies (219–220 MHz) as AMTS

stations on a secondary, noninterference basis for digital message

forwarding systems. Reporting

requirements are necessary to require

amateurs proposing to operate within

close proximity of an AMTS station to

notify the AMTS licensee as well as the

ARRL. The information is used to

update databases concerning AMTS

locations for the benefit of amateur

radio operators. If the collection of this

information was not conducted, the

database would become inaccurate and

the ability to avoid interference

problems would deteriorate.
