following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or

failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the

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.

contracts, instruments, and documents together with amendments, 
supplements and cancellations with the FCC. In addition, all radio and 
full service TV broadcast station licensees are required to file 
contracts, instruments or documents relating to ownership or control 
and certain personnel agreements with the Commission. Section 73.3613 
also requires licensees to file, within 30 days of execution, a copy of 
any radio time brokerage agreement which would result in the 
arrangement being counted in determining the brokering licensee's 
compliance with local and national multiple ownership rules with the 
FCC. Certain contracts, agreements or understandings need not be filed 
with the FCC under Section 73.3613(e), but must be retained at the 
station and be made available for inspection upon request by the FCC. 
The contracts filed with the FCC and filed in the station file are used 
by FCC staff to assure that a licensee maintains full control over the 
operation and maintenance of the station.

Federal Communications Commission.
