FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

April 4, 2000.
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 June 12, 2000. 
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., Room 1-A804, Washington, DC 20554 
or via the Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies 
of the information collections contact Les Smith at (202) 418-0217 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0093.
    Title: Application for Renewal of Radio Station License.
    Form Number: FCC 405.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 2,500 filings in any given year.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2.25 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Every ten years.
    Total Annual Burden: 5,625 hours.
    Total Annual Costs: $337,500 in filing fees (2,500 filings x $135 = 
$337,500). Filing fee amounts vary depending upon the specific service 
for which application is made. Most Form 405 services are subject to a 
$135 filing fee.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Form 405 is used by common carriers and 
Multipoint Distribution Service non-common carriers to apply for 
renewal of radio station licenses. Section 307(c) of the Communications 
Act limits the term of common carrier radio licenses to ten years and 
requires that written applications be submitted for renewal. FCC Form 
405 is required by 47 CFR parts 5, 21, 23, and 25 of the Commission's 
rules. Form 405 is being revised to reflect the fact that respondents 
no longer file this form for applications for services in Parts 22 and 
101 of the Commission's rules. Respondents now file FCC Form 601 for 
applications for those services.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
