    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the following public 
information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
Public Law 96-511. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. Not 
withstanding any other provisions of law, 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. Questions concerning the OMB control numbers and 
expiration dates should be directed to Dorothy Conway, Federal

Federal Communications Commission

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0398.
    Expiration Date: 10/31/99.
    Title: Equipment Authorization Measurement Standards--47 CFR 2.948, 
15.117(g)(2).
    Form No.: N/A.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 9,100 annual hour; average 28.43 hours per 
respondent; 320 respondents.
    Description: The information gathered is used by the Commission to 
ensure that data accompanying all requets 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 collection was revised to 
eliminate 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 ET 95-144.

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0707.
    Expiration Date: 10/31/99.
    Title: Restrictions on Over-the-Air Reception Devices: Television 
Broadcast and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services.

respondent; 996 respondents.
    Description: Pursuant to Section 207 of the Telecommunications Act 
of 1996, the Commission has adopted final rules for preemption of 
state, local and nongovernmental regulations that impair viewers' 
ability to recieve over-the-air signals. Rules and regulations serving 
safety purposes are exempt from the Commission's prohibition. State, 
local and nongovernmental entities may demonstrate the reasonableness 
of their regulations by filing requests for declaratory rules or 
petitions for waivers with the Commission. These filings constitute the 
information collection foreseen by the Commission.
