As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collection. 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 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. 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

    The Commission requests this information in order to make 
recommendations to the U.S. Department of State for granting recognized 
private operating agency (RPOA) status to requesting entities. The 
Commission does not require entities to request RPOA status. Rather, 
this is a voluntary application process for use by companies that 
believe that obtaining RPOA status will be beneficial in persuading 
foreign governments to allow them to conduct business abroad. RPOA 
status also permits companies to join the International 
Telecommunication Union's (ITU's) Telecommunications Sector, which is 
the standards-setting body of the ITU.
    The information furnished in RPOA requests is collected pursuant to 
47 CFR 63.701 of the Commission's rules. Entities submit these 
applications on a voluntary basis. The collection of information is a 
one-time collection for each respondent. Without this information 
collection, the Commission's policies and objectives for assisting 
unregulated providers of enhanced services to enter the market for 
international enhanced services would be thwarted.
