FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission

November 12, 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 information collection(s), 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 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 January 20, 
1998. 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 Judy Boley, Federal Communications 
Commission, Room 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 collection(s), contact Judy Boley at 202-418-0214 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Control No.: 3060-0444.
    Title: Station Construction/Operational Status Inquiry.
    Form No.: FCC 800-A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households; businesses or other for 
profit; small businesses or organizations.
    Number of Respondents: 11,500.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 11,500 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission requests this collection of 
information as a method for licensees to provide information to verify 
a station has been placed into operation and to notify the Commission 
of the actual number of mobile units placed in operation after license 
grant. From this data, the Commission is able to determine full 
capacity channel loading, making frequencies available for assignment 
and modifying or cancelling licenses. The data collected ensures 
licensees are not authorized for more mobiles than they are actually 
using. The revision is being submitted to clarify the types of uses of 
the form and frequency of use. We believe that this use is already 
cleared through OMB but in response to recent public comment, we are 
submitting this clarification. Except under limited circumstances, 
certain Part 90 licenses may not be transferred or assigned unless the 
underlying facility is constructed. This form will also be used to 
determine compliance with the Commission's construction rules when this 
information is not available from either a previous submission, manual 
records, or currently in the licensing database.

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