submit a report to the FCC detailing the nature of interference, source 
of interfering signals, and remedial steps taken to eliminate the 
interference. This report is to be submitted after operation of the 
station has resumed. The data is used by FCC staff to determine that 
the licensee has eliminated all interference caused by operation of 
their station.

licensees of low power TV or TV translator stations place in the 
station records a certification that the installation of new or 
replacement transmitting equipment complies in all respects with the 
technical requirements of this section and the station authorization. 
The notifications and certifications of equipment changes are used by

compliance with the technical requirements of this section and the

    Total Annual Costs: 24,150.
    Needs and Uses: Licensees and permittees of FM Translator or FM 
Booster stations are required to file FCC Form 350 to obtain a new or 
modified station license. The data are used by FCC staff to confirm 
that the station has been built to terms specified in the outstanding 
construction permit. Data are then extracted from FCC 350 for inclusion 
in the subsequent license to operate the station.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0407.

    Needs and Uses: When a permit is subject to tolling because 
construction is encumbered due to an act of God, or when a construction 
permit is the subject of administrative or judicial review, Section 
73.3598 requires a permittee to notify the Commission as promptly as 
possible and, in any event, within 30 days, and to provide supporting 
documentation. Tolling resulting from an act of God will normally cease 
six months from the date of the notification. A permittee must also 
notify the Commission promptly when a relevant administrative or 
judicial review is resolved. Any construction permit for which 
construction has not been completed shall be automatically forfeited 
upon expiration of the construction permit. The data are used by FCC 
staff to ensure that legitimate obstacles are preventing permittees 
from the construction of broadcast facilities.

    Total Annual Burden: 519 hours.

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR Section 73.3534 allows permittees to request 
an extension of time to construct an Instructional Television Fixed 
Station (ITFS). This request should include a specific and detailed 
showing that the failure to complete construction was due to causes not 
under the control of the permittee. An extension of time to construct 
will be limited to a period of no more than 6 months. Any construction 
permit for which construction has not been completed shall be 
automatically forfeited upon expiration of the construction permit. The 
data are used by FCC staff to ensure that legitimate obstacles are 
preventing permittees from the construction of ITFS facilities.
