FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

January 7, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW., suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, [phone]. For 
further information on these submissions contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, [phone]. Persons wishing to comment 
on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, room 3235 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-
3561.
    OMB Number: 3060-0119.
    Title: Section 90.145, Special Temporary Authority (STA).
    Action: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, state or local governments, 
non-profit institutions and businesses or other for-profit (including 
small businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 6,000 responses; .5 hours average burden 
per response; 3,000 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Under certain circumstances specified in 90.145, 
the Commission will consider ``Special Temporary Authorizations 
(STA)''. A STA permits an applicant to conduct operations for up to 180 
days without going through the normal application forms and procedures 
set out in Part 90. In order to process a request for a STA, the 
Commission requires certain minimum information set out in writing, 
including need for special frequencies and emissions. This information 
is used by Commission personnel to determine if a grant of a STA is 
warranted and to allow the Commission to have certain minimum 
information about the station's characteristics should interference 
problems arise. This information is used to determine if a STA should 
be granted. In the absence of this requirement, applicants would be 
unable to meet their special and emergency needs for communications 
since they would have to comply with the full written application 
process specified by the Communications Act.

    OMB Number: 3060-0270.
    Title: Section 90.443, Content of Station Records.
    Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, state or local governments, 
non-profit institutions and businesses or other for-profit (including 
small businesses).
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 57,410 recordkeepers; .083 hours average 
burden per recordkeeper; 4,765 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Section 90.443 specifies the records required to be 
maintained by station licensees. These records indicate maintenance 
performed on the licensee's equipment, and instances of tower light 
checks and failures, if any, and corrective action taken. The 
maintenance records could be used by the licensee or Commission field 
personnel to note any recurring equipment problems or conditions that 
may lead to degraded equipment performance and/or interference 
generation. The records regarding tower lighting are required to ensure 
that the licensee is aware of tower light condition and proper 
operation, in order to prevent and/or correct any hazards to air 
navigation.

    OMB Number: 3060-0274.
    Title: Section 94.45, Modification of License.
    Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households, state or local governments, 
non-profit institutions and businesses or other for-profit (including 
small businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 40 responses; .167 hours average burden 
per response; 7 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Section 94.45(b) requires the licensee changing its 
name and/or address to notify the Commission by letter of such a 
change. This requirement is necessary for maintaining an accurate 
database. A minor editorial change was made which does not affect the 
burden of this rule section. This notification requirement permits the 
Commission to quickly contact the licensee when necessary. The 
resolution of destructive interference cases would be needlessly 
hampered without this notification requirement because of inability to 
quickly contact licensees.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
