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. ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal Communications Commissions, Room [[Page 15705]] 234, 1919 M St., N.W., 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-####. 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.
