FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
 

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

October 27, 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) 418-0214. Persons wishing to comment 
on this information collection should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10214 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 
395-3561.

OMB Number: 3060-0050
Title: Application for Ship Radio Inspection or Survey
Form Number: FCC Form 801
Action: Revision of a currently approved collection
Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small 
businesses)
Frequency of Response: Annually and once every five years
Estimated Annual Burden: 4,000 responses; .25 hours average burden per 
response; 1,000 hours total annual burden
Needs and Uses: The FCC rules require the periodic inspection of the 
radio installations aboard United States vessels that are required to 
carry radio installations for safety purposes. The FCC Form 801 is used 
to apply for these required inspections. It is also used to advise the 
FCC local office staff to plan necessary travel and allocate resources 
to accomplish the task. The information is provided by ship radio 
station licensees to request an inspection of the radio installation 
aboard their vessels by FCC field office personnel. The information 
enables FCC personnel to identify the particular vessel to be 
inspected, determine the vessel's location, the date and time it will 
be available for inspection, and the particular regulatory requirements 
applicable to that particular vessel. If the information were not 
collected, FCC personnel would be unable to perform the required 
inspection due to lack of information about the vessel including ports 
of call, sailing schedule, and ports where the inspection could be 
performed. The form is being revised to provide for new payment options 
available to applicants (payments by credit card, electronic funds 
transfer, and by Western Union) and to make the form compatible with 
the new FCC Form 159, Fee Remittance Advice. We are also removing four 
questions requesting information which is no longer needed in advance 
of the inspection. The instructions for completing the form have been 
revised to conform to the revised format mandated by the new FCC Form 
159.

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