FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collections Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission

March 25, 1997.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commissions, 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 information collection, 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 estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarify 
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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should 
submit comments June 2, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Approval Number: 3060-####.
    Title: Section 90.176 Coordination notification requirements on 
frequencies below 512 MHz.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 15.
    Estimated Time Per Response: .25 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 975 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: 0.
    Needs and Uses: The reporting requirement in 90.176 is a result of 
comments sought in the Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed 
Rule Making in PR Dck No. 92-235 and requires each Private Land Mobile 
frequency coordinator provide, within one business day, a listing of 
their frequency recommendations to all other frequency coordinators in 
their respective pool, and, if requested, an engineering analyses. This 
requirement is necessary to avoid situations where harmful interference 
is created because two or more coordinators recommend the same 
frequency in the same area at approximately the same time to different 
applicants.

    OMB Approval Number: 3060-0051.
    Title: Application for Renewal of Ship/Aircraft Radio Station 
License.
    Form No.: FCC 405B.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals, State or Local Governments, Business or 
other For-Profit, Non-profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 10,500.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 10 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,743 hours.
    Needs and Uses: This form is used to verify existence of a station 
and to renew a license authorization when there are no changes or only 
certain minor changes to administrative data. FCC Rules require a Ship 
or Aircraft radio station license to be renewed every ten years. The 
Commission will use the information collected to update the existing 
database and to issue a renewed authorization.
    The form is required by the Communications Act; International 
Treaties and FCC Rules--47 CFR Parts 1.922,1.926, 80.19 and 87.21.
    During the last OMB cycle, the Commission separated the Ship and 
Aircraft renewal form into two separate collections, 3060-0051 and 
3060-0615(FCC Form 405S), due to the large quantity of applications 
received. Since that submission, the Commission adopted a Report and 
Order to de-license the majority of Ship and Aircraft stations. 
Therefore, we are re-combining the Ship and Aircraft collections as 
3060-0051(FCC Form 405B) and will let the collection for 3060-0615 
expire. The number of respondents and burden have been adjusted 
accordingly due to the de-licensing and re-combining of the 
collections.
    A space for the applicant to provide an Internet address is being 
added to the form. This will provide an additional option of reaching 
the applicant should the FCC have any questions concerning the 
application. In addition, the Commission is required to collect the 
Taxpayer Identification Number to comply with the Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996.

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