Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Submitted to OMB for
Review and Approval

August 19, 1997.

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

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 September 24,
1997. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find

information will also be used to ensure the market integrity of future
auctions. Likewise, the information collected in connection with
Sec. 1.2111(a) of the Commission's rules 47 CFR 1.2111(a) will be used
to maintain the market integrity of future auctions and prevent unjust
enrichment.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
