Existing information collection approved for six months in anticipatio of FCC rulemaking that will reduce burden. The NPRM FCC submitted doe not qualify for review under Section 3504(h) of the Paperwork Act because it was submitted after publication in the Federal Register and because it does not specify the proposed information requirement well enough to allow OMB evaluation (i.e., whether and how respondents will be required to make the information available for public inspection is not specified).
