OMB Approval Number: 3060-0302.
    Title: Section 97.9 Operator license.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of existing collection.
    Resopondents: Individuals and households.
    Number of Respondents: 40,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .001 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 40 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The recordkeeping requirement contained in 97.5 
requires that the amateur radio operator keep an original or photocopy 
of his or her operator license in their possession when serving as the 
control operator of an amateur radio station. This requirement is 
necessary so that the Commission field personnel can quickly determine 
whether an operator is licensed in conformance with the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended as well as the International Telecommunications 
Union Radio Regulations. Review of the operator license is done by the 
FCC Compliance and Information Bureau personnel during inspection and 
investigations to assure that amateur operators are duly licensed in 
accordance with applicable rules, statutes and treaties. In the absence 
of this recordkeeping requirement, field investigations related to the 
solution of cases of harmful interference could be severely hampered 
and needlessly prolonged due to the inability to determine whether an 
operator is licensed.

OMB Approval No: 3060-0303.
    Title: Section 97.5 Station license required.
    Form No.: N/A.

    Estimated Time Per Response: .001 hour.
    Total Annual Burden: 40 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The recordkeeping requirement in section 97.5 
requires that an original or photocopy of each amateur station license 
be retained at the station. This is necessary so Commission field 
personnel can quickly determine whether the radio station is licensed 
in conformance with the terms of the station license and the 
requirements of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. Review of 
the license is done by the FCC Compliance and Information Bureau 
personnel during inspections and investigations to assure that amateur 
stations are duly licensed in accordance with applicable rules, 
statutes and treaties. In the absence of this recordkeeping 
requirement, field investigations related to the solution of cases of 
harmful interference could be severely hampered and needlessly 
prolonged due to the inability to determine whether a station was 
licensed.

    Needs and Uses: Section 90.19 requires that applicants for stolen 
vehicle recovery systems perform an analysis for each base station to 
ensure that the system does not cause interference to Channel 7 
television stations. This requirement is necessary so that the 
Commission field personnel can quickly determine whether the radio 
station is licensed and is being operated in conformance with the terms 
of the station license and the requirements of the Communications

Act of 1934, as amended. Review of the operator license is done by the

of this recordkeeping requirement, field investigations related to the 
solution of cases of harmful interference could be severely hampered 
and needlessly prolonged due to the inability to determine whether the 
station was licensed.
