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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0009.
    Title: Application for Consent to Assignment of Broadcast Station 
Construction Permit or License or Transfer of Control of Corporation 
Holding Broadcast Station Construction Permit or License.
    Form No.: FCC Form 316.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, state, local, or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 700.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 3.5 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 700 hours.
    Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $416,220.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Needs and Uses: Filing of the FCC Form 316 is required when 
applying for authority for assignment of a broadcast station 
construction permit or license, or for consent to transfer control of a 
corporation holding a broadcast station construction permit or license 
where there is little change in the relative interest or disposition of 
its interests; where transfer of interest is not a controlling one; 
where there is no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the 
corporation; where the assignment is less than a controlling interest 
in a partnership; and where there is an appointment of an entity 
qualified to succeed to the interest of a deceased or legally 
incapacitated individual permittee, licensee or controlling 
stockholder. In addition, the applicant must notify the Commission when 
an approved transfer of control of a broadcast station construction 
permit or license has been consummated. The data is used by FCC staff 
in determining if the applicant is qualified to become a Commission 
licensee or permittee of a commercial or noncommercial broadcast 
station and to carry out the statutory provisions of Section 310(d) of 
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.

Federal Communications Commission.
Marlene H. Dortch,
Secretary.
