Review and Approval

May 16, 1997.
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 
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 June 20, 1997. 
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.

[[Page 27735]]

    Applicants using this form are not eligible for employment in the 
United States but need an operator permit because they hold an Aircraft 
Pilot Certificate which is valid in the U.S. and need to operate 
aircraft radio stations or they hold an FCC radio station license and 
will use the permit for operation of that particular station. The 
number of respondents has been increased from 800 to 1,000, attributed 
to a re-evaluation of receipts. The form is being revised to add a 
space for the applicant to provide an Internet address. This will 
provide an additional option of reaching the applicant should the FCC 
have any questions concerning the application. The drug certification 
is being incorporated into the certification text prior to applicant 
signature and the requirement to check a ``yes/no'' block eliminated. 
The request for applicant's mailing address ``state'' is being changed 
to ``state/country'' to accomodate foreign mailing addresses. The 
Commission will redact the applicant birthdate from information 
available for public view.

Acting Secretary.
