FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
November 12, 1997.
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(s), 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 clarity
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: Written comments should be submitted on or before January 20,
1998. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Judy Boley, Federal Communications
Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via
internet to jboley@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies
of the information collection(s), contact Judy Boley at 202-418-0214 or
via internet at jboley@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0444.
Title: Station Construction/Operational Status Inquiry.
Form No.: FCC 800-A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households; businesses or other for
profit; small businesses or organizations.
Number of Respondents: 11,500.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 11,500 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Commission requests this collection of
information as a method for licensees to provide information to verify
a station has been placed into operation and to notify the Commission
of the actual number of mobile units placed in operation after license
grant. From this data, the Commission is able to determine full
capacity channel loading, making frequencies available for assignment
and modifying or cancelling licenses. The data collected ensures
licensees are not authorized for more mobiles than they are actually
using. The revision is being submitted to clarify the types of uses of
the form and frequency of use. We believe that this use is already
cleared through OMB but in response to recent public comment, we are
submitting this clarification. Except under limited circumstances,
certain Part 90 licenses may not be transferred or assigned unless the
underlying facility is constructed. This form will also be used to
determine compliance with the Commission's construction rules when this
information is not available from either a previous submission, manual
records, or currently in the licensing database.
Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
