FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

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

December 30, 1993.
    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: 3060-0176.
    Title: Section 73.1510, Experimental Authorizations.
    Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 25 responses; 2.96 hours average burden 
per response; 74 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Section 73.1510 requires that a licensee of an AM, 
FM and TV broadcast station file an informal application with the FCC 
to request an experimental authorization to conduct technical 
experimentation directed toward improvement of the technical phases of 
operation and service. This request shall describe the nature and 
purpose of experimentation to be conducted, the nature of the 
experimental signal to be transmitted, and the proposed schedule of 
hours and duration of the experimentation. The data is used by FCC 
staff to maintain complete technical information about a broadcast 
station and to ensure that such experimentation will not cause 
interference to other stations.

    OMB Number: 3060-0181.
    Title: Section 73.1615, Operation During Modification of 
Facilities.
    Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 160 responses; 0.69 hour average burden 
per response; 110 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: Section 73.1615 requires notification to the FCC by 
a licensee of an AM, FM or TV station when it is in the process of 
modifying existing facilities as authorized by a construction permit 
and it becomes necessary to either discontinue operation or to operate 
with temporary facilities. If such licensee needs to discontinue 
operations or operate with temporary facilities for more than 30 days, 
then an informal letter request must be sent to the FCC prior to the 
30th day. The data is used by FCC staff to maintain complete technical 
records and to ensure that interference will not be caused to other 
licensed broadcast facilities.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
