FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collections Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
March 25, 1997.
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 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 June 2, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal
Communications Commissions, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval Number: 3060-####.
Title: Section 90.176 Coordination notification requirements on
frequencies below 512 MHz.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: New collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Estimated Time Per Response: .25 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 975 hours.
Total Annual Cost: 0.
Needs and Uses: The reporting requirement in 90.176 is a result of
comments sought in the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed
Rule Making in PR Dck No. 92-235 and requires each Private Land Mobile
frequency coordinator provide, within one business day, a listing of
their frequency recommendations to all other frequency coordinators in
their respective pool, and, if requested, an engineering analyses. This
requirement is necessary to avoid situations where harmful interference
is created because two or more coordinators recommend the same
frequency in the same area at approximately the same time to different
applicants.
OMB Approval Number: 3060-0051.
Title: Application for Renewal of Ship/Aircraft Radio Station
License.
Form No.: FCC 405B.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals, State or Local Governments, Business or
other For-Profit, Non-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 10,500.
Estimated Time Per Response: 10 minutes.
Total Annual Burden: 1,743 hours.
Needs and Uses: This form is used to verify existence of a station
and to renew a license authorization when there are no changes or only
certain minor changes to administrative data. FCC Rules require a Ship
or Aircraft radio station license to be renewed every ten years. The
Commission will use the information collected to update the existing
database and to issue a renewed authorization.
The form is required by the Communications Act; International
Treaties and FCC Rules--47 CFR Parts 1.922,1.926, 80.19 and 87.21.
During the last OMB cycle, the Commission separated the Ship and
Aircraft renewal form into two separate collections, 3060-0051 and
3060-0615(FCC Form 405S), due to the large quantity of applications
received. Since that submission, the Commission adopted a Report and
Order to de-license the majority of Ship and Aircraft stations.
Therefore, we are re-combining the Ship and Aircraft collections as
3060-0051(FCC Form 405B) and will let the collection for 3060-0615
expire. The number of respondents and burden have been adjusted
accordingly due to the de-licensing and re-combining of the
collections.
A space for the applicant to provide an Internet address is being
added to the form. This will provide an additional option of reaching
the applicant should the FCC have any questions concerning the
application. In addition, the Commission is required to collect the
Taxpayer Identification Number to comply with the Debt Collection
Improvement Act of 1996.
Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
