    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.
    
    DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before June 1, 1999.

    submit a report to the FCC detailing the nature of interference, source 
    of interfering signals, and remedial steps taken to eliminate the 
    interference. This report is to be submitted after operation of the

        Title: Section 74.751, Modification of Transmission Systems.

    the use of a formal application. Section 74.751(d) requires that 
    licensees of low power TV or TV translator stations place in the 
    station records a certification that the installation of new or 
    replacement transmitting equipment complies in all respects with the 
    technical requirements of this section and the station authorization. 
    The notifications and certifications of equipment changes are used by 
    FCC staff to assure that the equipment changes made are in full 
    compliance with the technical requirements of this section and the 
    station authorizations and will not cause interference to other 
    authorized stations.
