FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Public Information Collection Approved by Office of Management 
and Budget

April 11, 1996.
    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
Pub. L. 96-511. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Not 
withstanding any other provisions of law, 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. Questions concerning the OMB control numbers and 
expiration dates should be directed to Dorothy Conway, Federal 
Communications Commission, [phone].

Federal Communications Commission

OMB Control No.: 3060-0084.
    Expiration Date: 04/30/99.
    Title: Ownership Report for Noncommercial Educational Broadcast 
Station; FCC Form 323-E.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 348 hours annual burden; average 4 hours 
per respondent. However, the Commission estimates that the respondents 
will contract with an attorney to complete the form. The average time 
for conveying the necessary information to the attorney is 30 minutes 
per respondent; 695 respondents.
    Description: Each licensee/permittee of a noncommercial AM, FM and 
TV station is required to file an FCC Form 323-E within 30 days of the 
date of grant by the FCC of an application for original construction 
permit and after any changes occur in the information called for in the 
form; and in conjunction with the renewal application. Licensees with 
current unamended Ownership Reports on file at the Commission may so 
indicate on their renewal applications and be relieved of the 
obligation to file a new Ownership Report. The data is used by FCC 
staff to determine whether the licensee/permittee is abiding by the 
multiple ownership requirements as set down by the Commission's Rules 
and is in compliance with the Communications Act.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0690.
    Expiration Date: 4/30/99.

    This estimate was determined as follows: Proposed Section 21.711(b) 
has 300 respondents estimated time per response is 40 hours; Proposed 
Section 21.711(b)(2) has 200 respondents estimated time per response is 
80 hours; Proposed Section 21.711(a)(4) has 500 respondents estimated 
time per response is 256 hours; FCC Forms 402 and 494 have 100

responsibilities.

OMB Control No.: 3060-0705.
    Expiration Date: 6/30/96.
    Title: Implementation and Waiver Procedures Adopted in Preemption 
of Local Zoning Regulation of Satellite Earth Stations and 
Implementation of Section 207 of 1996 Telecommunications Act.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 120 total annual hours; average 3 hours 
per respondent to prepare petitions for Declaratory Rules and 5 hours 
per respondent to prepare Petitions for Waivers; the commission 
estimates 30 petitions and 10 waiver requests per year.
    Description: Pursuant to Section 205.104(d) of the Commission 
Rules, the Commission will be issuing a public notice implementing 
revisions to its rule preempting certain local nonfederal governmental 
regulations of satellite earth station antennas and setting forth 
procedures for filing petitions and waivers. The information collected 
from persons or entities seeking a petition for declaration of 
preemptibility will be used by the Commission to determine whether the 
state or local regulation in question is preemptible under Section 
205.104 of the Commissions rules. The information collected from states 
and other local governmental agencies seeking a waiver of Section 
25.104 will be used to determine if a waiver of the rule is warranted.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
