FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Notice of Public Information Collection(s) being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority.

November 9, 2004.
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 (PRA) of 1995, Pub. L. 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 Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted 
on or before January 18, 2005. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Cathy 
Williams, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C823, 445 12th 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0216.
    Title: Section 73.3538, Application to Make Changes in an Existing 
Station.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities; 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: None.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: On February 14, 2001, the Commission adopted a 
Report and Order, In the Matter of An Inquiry Into the Commission's 
Policies and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service Directional Antenna 
Performance Verification, MM Docket No. 93-177. This Report and Order 
relaxed the technical requirements for AM stations using directional 
antennas. 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. 47 CFR 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 47 CFR Section 73.1125 (3060-0171). The data is 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.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
