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 (PRA) 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 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be submitted on or before May 21, 2007. 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:
You may submit your Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments by email or U.S. postal mail. To submit your comments by email send them to PRA@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
Title: Section 76.41, Franchise Application Process.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: State, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 5,006.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours-4 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 46,000 hours.
Total Annual Cost: None.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
Nature of Response: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Confidentiality: No need for confidentiality required.
Needs and Uses: The Commission has assessed the effects of the application filing requirements used to calculate the time frame in which a local franchising authority shall make a decision, and find that those requirements will benefit companies with fewer than 25 employees by providing such companies with specific application requirements of a reasonable length. We anticipate this specificity will streamline this process for companies with fewer than 25 employees, and that these requirements will not burden these companies.
Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
