FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information Collections Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission

September 30, 1996.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public 
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency 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 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control 
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's 
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarify 
of the information collected; and (d) 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.

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should 
submit comments December 3, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal 
Communications Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 
20554 or via internet to [e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Approval Number: 3060-0080.
    Title: Application for FM Translator or FM Booster Station License.
    Form No.: FCC 350.
    Type of Review: Revision to an existing collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 250.
    Estimated time per response: 3.5 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 875 hours.
    Needs and Uses: Licensees and permittees of FM Translator or FM 
Booster stations are required to file FCC Form 350 to obtain a new or 
modified station license. This form will be revised to add the new 
requirements regarding antenna tower registration. This unique antenna 
registration number identifies an antenna structure and must be used on 
all filings related to the antenna structure. Several questions will be 
added to the engineering portion of the FCC 350 to collect this 
information. This requirement was approved by OMB under control number 
3060-0714. The data is used by FCC staff to confirm that the station 
has been built to terms specified in the outstanding construction 
permit. Data is then extracted from FCC 350 for inclusion in the 
subsequent license to operate the station.

Federal Communications Commission.
LaVera F. Marshall,
Acting Secretary.
