FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collections being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission; Comments Requested

June 3, 1996.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications, 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 proposed 
and/or continuing information collections, 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 Commissions 
burden estimates; (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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before August 12, 
1996. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESS: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal Communications, 
Room 234, 1919 M St., NW., Washington, DC 20554 or via internet to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collections contact Dorothy Conway at 202-418-0217 
or via internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Approval Number: 3060-0398.
    Title: Equipment Authorization Measurement Standards; Sections 
2.948, 15.117(G)(2).
    Form No.: None.
    Type of Review: Revision of existing collection.
    Respondents: Businesses/For Profit Institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 320.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 28.4375
    Total Annual Burden: 9,100 hours
    Needs and Uses: The information gathered is used by the Commission 
to ensure that data accompanying all requests for equipment 
authorization are valid, and that proper testing procedures are used. 
Testing ensures that potential interference to radio communications is 
controlled, and if necessary, the data gathered may be used for 
investigating complaints of harmful interference, or for verifying the 
manufacturer's compliance with the Commission's Rules. This revision 
eliminates the necessity for manufacturer's to file UHF noise figure 
data documenting the performance of TV receivers tested and marketed in 
the U.S. The requirement was eliminated from the rules by the adoption 
of the Report and Order in ET Docket No. 95-144.

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