FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to Office of 
Management and Budget for Review

March 21, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of this submission may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW., suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For 
further information on this submission contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 632-0276. Persons wishing to comment 
on this information collection should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 3235 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-
3561.

OMB Number: 3060-0480.
Title: Application for Earth Station Authorization or Modification of 
Station License.
Form Number: FCC Form 493.
Action: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses).
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Estimated Annual Burden: 2,500 responses; 24 hours average burden per 
response; 60,000 hours total annual burden.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 493 is a multipurpose application form used to 
request Commission authorization for new or modified radio station 
facilities under Part 25. The form is used for a number of satellite 
services governed by Part 25 covering several classes of stations. Part 
25 services include Domestic Fixed-Satellite Service; International 
Fixed-Satellite Service; Radiodetermination-Satellite Service; and 
Mobile Satellite Service. FCC Form 493 is used to apply for a license 
to construct and/or operate a transmit/receive earth station, a 
transmit-only earth station; to register a domestic receive-only earth 
station; to license an international receive only earth station; or to 
modify a granted license or registration. On 10/21/93, the Commission 
adopted a Report and Order establishing rules to govern the licensing 
and regulation of non-voice non-geostationary mobile-satellite service 
systems (NVNG MSS). Applicants will use FCC Form 493 to apply for 
approval for transceivers in the NVNG MSS. Several questions on the 
form require applicants to submit further information in the form of 
exhibits. Applicants are advised to refer to 47 CFR Part 25 before 
completing the form to determine whether other showings are necessary 
in addition to that specified in the form. FCC Form 493 will be used by 
FCC staff to determine the applicant's eligibility to operate earth 
station facilities and to receive requested modifications to earth 
station facilities. The agency would not be able to determine the 
applicant's eligibility for acquiring an authorization without this 
information.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
