FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1174]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) 
invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this 
opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: 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; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 
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 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 PRA that does not display a 
valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 4, 
2015. 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 PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#24747665644247470a434b52"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fbaba9babb9d9898d59c948d">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6f2c0e1b07164138060303060e021c2f090c0c41080019"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="743715001c0d5a231d18181d151907341217175a131b02">[email protected]</span></a>.

    Needs and Uses: On April 25, 2012, the Commission adopted a Notice 
of Proposed Rulemaking (``NPRM'') in MB Docket 12-106, FCC 12-43, In 
the Matter of Noncommercial Educational Station Fundraising for Third-
Party Non-Profit Organizations. Under the Commission's existing rules, 
a noncommercial educational (``NCE'') broadcast station may not conduct 
fundraising activities to benefit any entity besides the station itself 
if the activities would substantially alter or suspend regular 
programming. The NPRM proposes to relax the rules to allow NCE stations 
to spend up to one percent of their total annual airtime conducting on-
air fundraising activities that interrupt regular programming for the 
benefit of third-party non-profit organizations.
    A final rulemaking has not been adopted by the Commission to date. 
The Commission would like to keep this collection in OMB's inventory. 
We will receive OMB final approval once the final rulemaking is adopted 
by the Commission.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary. Office of the Secretary, Office of the Managing Director.
