SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. On July 17, 2008, the Wireless 

Telecommunications and the Media 

Bureaus (collectively, the Bureaus) 

announced an auction of construction 

permits for LPTV and TV Translator 

digital companion channels (Auction 

85), scheduled to commence on 

November 5, 2008, and sought comment 

on procedures for conducting Auction 

85. The Auction 85 Comment Public 

Notice, 73 FR 43230, July 24, 2008, also 

announced a settlement period 

beginning July 17, 2008 and ending at 

6 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Thursday, 

July 31, 2008. The prohibition of 

collusion set forth in 47 CFR 1.2105(c) 

and 73.5002(d) was temporarily lifted 

during this limited period to allow 

parties with proposals in the mutually 

exclusive (MX) groups identified in that 

Public Notice to dismiss their proposals, 

enter into settlement agreements or 

otherwise resolve their mutual 

exclusivities by means of engineering 

solutions. 

2. On July 25, 2008, the Bureaus 

received a request to extend the Auction 

85 settlement period until September 8, 

2008, stating that Auction 85 applicants 

have not had sufficient time to allow for 

the negotiation of potential settlements 

and the preparation of necessary 

engineering and legal documents to be 

filed by July 31, 2008. 

3. After careful consideration, the 

Bureaus determined that a two-week 

extension of the Auction 85 settlement 

period could be accommodated without 

disruption to the auction schedule. 

Therefore, the Auction 85 settlement 

period is extended to August 14, 2008 

at 6:00 PM Eastern Time (ET). The 

parties must submit their requests for 

dismissal, settlement agreements 

(including affidavits required by 47 CFR 

73.3525), and/or engineering 

submissions by the deadline on August 

14, 2008, following the procedures 

described in the Auction 85 Comment 

Public Notice.

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The information collection 

requirements described below will be 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for review, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (‘‘PRA’’). The FTC is seeking public 

comments on its proposal to extend 

through January 31, 2012, the current 

PRA clearance for information sought 

through compulsory process orders to a 

combined ten or more of the largest 

cigarette manufacturers and smokeless 

tobacco manufacturers in order to obtain 

from them information including, 

among other things, their sales and 

marketing expenditures. The current 

clearance expires on January 31, 2009. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

information requests must be received 

on or before October 6, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are 

invited to submit written comments. 

Comments should refer to ‘‘Tobacco 

Reports: Paperwork Comment, FTC File 

No. P054507’’ to facilitate the 

organization of comments. The 

Commission is requesting that any 

comment filed in paper form be sent by 

courier or overnight service, if possible 

because U.S. postal mail in the 

Washington area and at the FTC is 

subject to delay due to heightened 

security precautions. Moreover, because 

paper mail in the Washington area and 

at the FTC is subject to delay, please 

consider submitting your comments in 

electronic form, as prescribed below. If, 

however, the comment contains any 

material for which confidential 

treatment is requested, it must be filed 

in paper form, and the first page of the 

document must be clearly labeled 

‘‘Confidential.’’1

Comments filed in electronic form 

should be submitted by following the 

instructions on the web-based form at 

(https://secure.commentworks.com/ftcTobaccoReports) and following the 

instructions on the web-based form. To 

ensure that the Commission considers 

an electronic comment, you must file it 

on the web-based form at: (https:// 

secure.commentworks.com/ftcTobaccoReports). If this notice appears 

at www.regulations.gov, you may also 

file an electronic comment through that 

website. The Commission will consider 

all comments that www.regulations.gov 

forwards to it. 

The FTC Act and other laws the 

Commission administers permit the 

collection of public comments to 

consider and use in this proceeding as 

appropriate. All timely and responsive 

public comments will be considered by 

the Commission and will be available to 

the public on the FTC website, to the 

extent practicable, at www.ftc.gov. As a 

matter of discretion, the FTC makes 

every effort to remove home contact 

information for individuals from the 

public comments it receives before 

placing those comments on the FTC 

website. More information, including 

routine uses permitted by the Privacy 

Act, may be found in the FTC’s privacy 

policy at (http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/ 

privacy.shtm).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For forty 

years, the Federal Trade Commission 

has published periodic reports 

containing data on domestic cigarette 

sales and marketing expenditures by the 

major U.S. cigarette manufacturers. The 

Commission has published comparable 

reports on smokeless tobacco sales and 

marketing expenditures since 1987. 

Both reports originally were issued 

pursuant to statutory mandates. After 

those statutory mandates were 

terminated, the Commission continued 

to collect and publish information 

obtained from the cigarette and 

smokeless tobacco industries pursuant 

to Section 6(b) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 

46(b). The current PRA clearance to 

collect this information is valid through
