Title: Application for Antenna Structure Registration.
Form No.: FCC 854.

Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit; state or local
governments.
Number of Responses: 43,000.
Estimated Time Per Response: 30 minutes.
Total Annual Burden: 21,500 hours.
Needs and Uses: Section 303(q) of the Communications Act authorizes
the Commission to require the painting and/or illumination of radio
towers if and when in its judgement such towers constitute, or there is
a reasonable possibility that they may constitute, a hazard to air
navigation. This FCC form is to be used for the purpose of registering
structures used for wire or radio communication services within the
United States, or to make changes to an existing registered structure,
or to notify the Commmission of the dismantlement of a structure. The
Commission staff will evaluate the antenna data submitted by the tower
owner and determine if Part 17 rule requirements are met and if any
obstruction painting and/or lighting will be necessary. The tower owner
will receive notification that the Commission has registered the
structure, modification or dismantlement on FCC Form 854R, Antenna
Structure Registration. Owners of new and modified towers must notify
the Commission within 24 hours of construction completion and/or
disposition of structure, using a portion of the FCC Form 854R which is
detachable.
The data collected is required by the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended; FCC Rules Section 1.61(a), 17.4, 21.11(g),25.113(c),
73.3533(c), 74.551(c), 74.651(d), 74.1251(d), 78.109(c), 95.83(a)(3),

Needs and Uses: Section 73.1635 allows licensees/permittees of
broadcast stations to file for special temporary authority to operate
broadcast stations at specified variances from station authorization
not to exceed 180 days. Data are used by FCC staff to ensure that such
operation will not cause interference to other stations.
OMB Approval No.: 3060-0009.

Number of Respondents: 1,575.

Needs and Uses: Filing of the FCC Form 316 is required when
applying for authority for assignment of a broadcast station
construction permit or license, or for consent to transfer control of
corporation holding broadcast station construction permit or license
where there is little change in the relative interest or disposition of
its interests; where transfer of interest is not a controlling one;
where there is no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the
corporation; where the assignment is less than a controlling interest
in a partnership; and where there is an appointment of an entity
qualified to succeed to the interest of a deceased or legally
incapacitated individual permittee, licensee or controlling
stockholder. The data is used by FCC staff to determine if the
applicant is qualified to become a Commission licensee or permittee of
