SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Approval Number: 3060-0022.
Title: Application for Permit of an Alien Amateur Radio Licensee to
Operate in the United States.
Form No.: FCC 610A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals and households.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Estimated Time Per Response: 5 minutes.
Total Annual Burden: 168 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Needs and Uses: Commission rules require the use of FCC Form 610A
when aliens who hold an Amateur Operator and Station License issued by
his/her government, wish to apply for a permit to operate an amateur
radio station in the United States.
Licensing Division personnel will use the data to determine
eligibility for radio station authorization and to issue a radio
station/operator permit. Data is also used by Compliance personnel in
conjunction with Field Engineers for enforcement and interference
resolution purposes.
This form is required by the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended; International Treaties and FCC Rules - 47 CFR Parts 1.922 and
97.17.
The burden hours associated with this collection are being adjusted
to reflect a decrease in the number of respondents as the result of re-
evaluating our receipts. We estimate a decrease in the number of
respondents from 3,000 to 2,000.
OMB Approval Number: 3060-0024.
Title: Section 76.29, Special Temporary Authority.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Time Per Response: 3 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 3 hours. We estimate that one request for
special temporary authority may be filed in the next year, with an
estimated burden of three hours needed to complete the requests.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Total Annual Cost to Respondents: Postage and photocopying expenses
for special temporary authority request filings are estimated at $2 per
filing (1 x $2 - $2.00).
Needs and Uses: Section 76.12 states that a system community unit
shall be authorized to commence operation only after filing a
registration statement with the Commission. Section 76.29 states that
in circumstances requiring the temporary use of community units for
operations not authorized by the Commission's rules, a cable television
system may request special temporary authority to operate. The
Commission may grant special temporary authority, upon finding that the
public interest would be served. Requests for special temporary
authority may be submitted informally by letter. Data collected in the
requested filings are used by Commission staff to assure that a grant
of special temporary authority will not cause interference to other
stations.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
