FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information Collections Submitted to OMB for 
Review and Approval

August 14, 1996.
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 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 
Commission's 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 September 19, 
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.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal 
Communications, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via 
internet to [email protected] and Timothy Fain, OMB Desk Officer, 10236 
NEOB 725 17th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20503 or [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.
    Form No.: None.
    Type of Review: Revision of an existing collection.
    Number of Respondents: 320.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 28.4375 hours.
    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 or harmful interference, or for verifying the 
manufacture'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 95-144.

Federal Communications Commission
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
