Collection(s) Submitted to OMB for

Review and Approval

July 24, 1998

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
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 148 / Monday, August 3, 1998 / Notices 41257

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, 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

information techniques or other forms of

information technology.

DATES: Written comments should be

submitted on or before September 2,

1998. 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.

Needs and Uses: Section 3002 of the

Balanced Budget Act of 1997 amended

Section 309 (j), to, in effect, reduce the

situations in which the use of random

Commission proposes to reduce the

number of respondents, it does not

reduce the burden hours required to

complete an individual information

collection. The Commission seeks

comments on this proposal and other

methods by which the burden on

respondents may be reduced.

The Commission will use the

information to determine whether the

public interest would be served by

granting a transfer of control or an

assignment of a license awarded

through lottery procedures. The

foregoing estimates include the time for

reviewing instructions, searching

existing data sources, gathering and

maintaining the data needed, and

completing and reviewing the burden

estimates or any other aspect of the

collection of information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060–0430.

Title: Section 47 CFR 1.1206, PermitBut-Disclose Proceedings.

Form Number: N/A.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; Business and other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit

institutions; Federal Government; State,

Local or Tribal Govenment.

Number of Respondents: 10,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 0.5

hour.

Frequency of Response:

Recordkeeping and On occasion

reporting requirements.

Total Annual Burden: 5,000 hours.

Cost to Respondents: $0.

Needs and Uses: The Commission’s

rules require that a public record be

made of ex parte presentations (i.e.,

written presentations not served on all

parties to the proceedings or oral

presentations as to which all parties

have not been given notice and an

opportunity to be present) to decisionmaking personnel in ‘‘permit-butdisclose’’ proceedings, such as noticeand-comment rule makings and

declaratory ruling proceedings. Persons

making such presentations must file two

copies of written presentations and two

copies of a memorandum reflecting new

data or arguments in oral presentations

no later than the next business day after

the presentation. Effective June 30,

1998, if ex parte presentations are filed

electronically, only one copy need be

filed. Parties to permit-but-disclose

proceedings, including interested

members of the public, use information

regarding ex parte presentations to

respond to the arguments made and data

presented in the presentations. The

responses may then be used by the

Commission in its decision-making. The

availability of the ex parte materials

helps ensure that the interested persons

have fair notice of presentations made to

the Commission and the development of

a complete record.
