(OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for

[email protected] and to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork burdens, and as required by the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, the

opportunity to comment on the following information collections. 
Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection 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;

    OMB Control Number: 3060-1045.
    Title: Section 76.1610, Change of Operational Information; FCC Form 
324, Operator, Mail Address, and Operational Status Changes Operator, 
Mail Address, and Operational Information Changes, FCC Form 324.
    Form Number: FCC Form 324.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

institutions.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5,000 respondents; 5,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,500 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: None.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in

amended.

    Needs and Uses: Under 47 CFR 76.1610, cable operators must notify 
the Commission of changes in ownership information or operating status 
within 30 days of such change. FCC Form 324 is used to update 
information filed with the Commission concerning the Cable Community 
Registration. The information is the basic operational information on 
operator name, mailing address, community served, and system 
identification. FCC Form 324 will cover a variety of changes related to 
cable operators, replacing the requirement of a letter containing 
approximately the same information. Every Form 324 filing will require 
information about the system--the additional information required 
depending largely upon the nature of the change.

Federal Communications Commission.
