    SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, 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(s), 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.

    [[Page 31865]]
    
        Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
        Number of Respondents: 20 AM Licensees.
        Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour per 73.69(d)(1); 2 hours per 
    73.69(d)(5).
        Frequency of Response: On occasion.
        Total Annual Burden: 30.
        Total Annual Costs: None.
        Needs and Uses: Section 73.69(c) requires AM station licensees with 
    directional antennas to file an informal request to operate without 
    required monitors with the Mass Media Bureau in Washington, DC, when 
    conditions beyond the control of the licensee prevent the restoration 
    of an antenna monitor to service within a 120 day period. Section 
    73.69(d)(1) requires that AM licensees with directional antennas 
    request and obtain temporary authority to operate with parameters at 
    variance with licensed values when an authorized antenna monitor is 
    replaced pending issuance of a modified license specifying new 
    parameters. Section 73.69(d)(5) requires AM licensees with directional 
    antennas to submit an informal request for modification of license to 
    the FCC within 30 days of the date of antenna monitor replacement. 
    Station licensees must operate in accordance with station licenses. The 
    data collected by Section 73.69(c) is used by the FCC Engineer to grant 
    continued approval to operate without the required monitors. The data 
    collected by Section 73.69(d)(1) is used by FCC staff to grant interim 
    authority to licensees to operate in variance of the station license. 
    The data collected by Section 73.69(d)(5) is used by FCC staff to issue 
    a modified license.
