FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

November 16, 2001.
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 December 26, 
2001. 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 1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW, DC 20554 or via the 
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 
via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0216.
    Title: Section 73.3538, Application to make changes in an existing 
station.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit; not for profit 
institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $0.
    Needs and Uses: On February 14, 2001, the Commission adopted a 
Report and Order in MM Docket No. 93-77 in the matter of An Inquiry 
Into the Commission's Policies and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service 
Directional Antenna Performance Verification. This Report and Order 
relaxed the technical requirements for AM stations using directional 
antennae. Among other things, this Report and Order eliminated the need 
to file an informal application to specify new AM station directional 
antenna field monitoring points. Revised section 73.3538(b) requires a 
broadcast station to file an informal application to modify or 
discontinue the obstruction marking or lighting of an antenna 
supporting structure. The requirement to file an informal application 
to relocate the main studio outside the principal community contour has 
approval under section 73.1125 (3060-0171). The data are used by FCC 
staff to ensure that the modification or discontinuance of the 
obstruction marking or lighting will not cause a menace to air 
navigation.
