FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Submitted to OMB for 
Review and Approval

January 5, 1999.
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, 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 February 16, 
1999. 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 Les Smith, Federal Communications 
Commissions, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via the 
Internet to [email protected].

[[Page 2647]]

    Number of Respondents: 1,500.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.0 to 5.166 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements.
    Total Annual Burden: 4,625 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: $902,400.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 313 is used by licensees or permittees of 
AM, FM, and TV broadcast stations and eligible networks when applying 
for a remote pickup, aural microwave, television microwave, and other 
various auxiliary broadcast stations. Statutory authority for this 
collection of information is contained in Sections 154(I) and 308 of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. This form is required by 47 
CFR 73.3511 and 73.3533. This form has been revised to delete the fee 
payment information as FCC Form 159, Fee Remittance Advice, is now 
required with any payment to the FCC. The Fee Remittance Advice 
duplicates this information. Due to changes in the Antenna Structure 
Registration procedures under Part 17 of the FCC Rules, this form will 
collect the seven digit antenna structure registration number assigned 
by the Commission. This form has also been revised to collect metric 
measurements only. These changes should not affect the estimated 
average burden per respondent.
    The information will be used by the Commission to determine if the 
proposal will meet statutory requirements; to determine eligibility for 
a license; to aid in frequency spectrum management; and to ensure 
interference will not be caused by existing stations. The data will be 
used to issue an authorization and may be used for enforcement purposes 
when necessary.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
