FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


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

October 27, 2006.
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, 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 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 Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before January 8, 2007. 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: You may submit all your Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
comments by e-mail or U.S. postal mail. To submit your comments by e-
mail send them to [email protected]. To submit your comments by U.S. mail,

Stations.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities.
    Number of Respondents: 15.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours--0.83 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; third

    Total Annual Burden: 20 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $2,250.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.213 requires licensees of grandfathered 
short-spaced FM stations seeking to modify or relocate their stations 
to provide a showing demonstrating that there is no increase in either 
the total predicted interference area or the associated population 
(caused or received) with respect to all grandfathered stations or 
increase the interference caused to any individual stations. Applicants 
must demonstrate that any new area predicted to lose service as a 
result of interference has adequate service remaining. In addition, 
licensees are required to serve a copy of any application for co-
channel or first-adjacent channel stations proposing predicted 
interference caused in any area where interference is not currently 
predicted to be caused upon the licensee(s) of the affected short-
spaced station(s). Commission staff use the data to determine if the 
public interest will be served and that existing levels of interference 
will not be increased to other licensed stations. Providing copies of 
application(s) to affected licensee(s) will enable potentially affected 
parties to examine the proposals and provide them an opportunity to 
file informal objections against such applications.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
