    Notice of Public Information Collection(s) being Reviewed by the 
    Federal Communications Commission
    
    February 25, 1999.
    SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commissions, 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 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.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
        OMB Control Number: 3060-0713.
        Title: Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) Compliance 
    Notification.
        Form Number: N/A.
        Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
        Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; and Not-for-
    profit institutions.
        Number of Respondents: 50.
        Estimated Time Per Response: 5 minutes (30 responses/year).
        Total Annual Burden: 125 hours.
        Total Annual Cost: None.
        Needs and Uses: The Commission established an ABIP that permits 
    broadcast stations to arrange for a voluntary inspection of their 
    facility by an entity, usually a state broadcast association, and to 
    have the entity notify the Commission's local field office that the 
    broadcast station has passed an inspection. The information collection 
    requires such entities to file a statement with the FCC field office in 
    whose geographic area of responsibility broadcast station is located 
    that the broadcast station has passed an ABIP inspection. The 
    Commission will use the information collected to determine which 
    broadcast stations are exempted from routine, random inspections by the 
    local FCC field office during a two or three year period.
    
    Federal Communications Commission.
    Magalie Roman Salas,
    Secretary.
