                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 of 1995 (PRA), 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 Office of Management and Budget
                (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 comments should be submitted on or before April 15,
                2019. 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 contacts below as soon as possible.
                ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email:
                PRA@fcc.gov and to Cathy.Williams@fcc.gov.
                FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the
                information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.
