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

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to (PRA) of 
1995 (PRA), Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or sponsor a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control 
number. Subject to the PRA, no person shall be subject to any penalty 
for failing to comply with a collection of information 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.

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.1030 states in order to minimize harmful 
interference at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory site located 
at Green, Pocahontas County, West Virginia, and at the Naval Radio 
Research Observatory at Sugar Grove, Pendleton County, West Virginia, a 
licensee proposing to operate a short-term broadcast auxiliary station 
pursuant to 47 CFR 74.24, and any applicant for authority to construct 
a new broadcast station, or for authority to make changes in the 
frequency, power, antenna height, or antenna directivity of an existing 
station within the area bounded by 39[deg]15' N on the north, 
78[deg]30' W on the east, 37[deg]30' N on the south, and 80[deg]30' W 
on the west, shall notify the Interference Office, National Radio 
Astronomy Observatory, P.O. Box 2, Green Bank, West Virginia 24944. 
Telephone: (304) 456-2011. The notification shall be in writing and set 
forth the particulars of the proposed station, including the 
geographical coordinates of the antenna, antenna height, antenna 
directivity if any, proposed frequency, type of emission and power. The 
notification shall be made prior to, or simultaneously with, the filing 
of the application with the Commission. After receipt of such 
applications, the FCC will allow a period of 20 days for comments or 
objections in response to the notifications indicated. If an objection 
to the proposed operation is received during the 20-day period from the 
National Radio Astronomy Observatory for itself, or on behalf of the 
Naval Radio Research Observatory, the FCC will consider all aspects of 
the problem and take whatever action is deemed appropriate.
    Any applicant for a new permanent base or fixed station 
authorization to be located on the islands of Puerto Rico, Desecheo, 
Mona, Vieques, and Culebra, or for a modification of an existing 
authorization which would change the frequency, power, antenna height, 
directivity, or location of a station on these islands and would 
increase the likelihood of the authorized facility causing 
interference, shall notify the Interference Office, Arecibo 
Observatory, HC3 Box 53995, Arecibo, Puerto Rico 00612, in writing or 
electronically, of the technical parameters of the proposal. Applicants 
may wish to consult interference guidelines, which will be provided by 
Cornell University. Applicants who choose to transmit information 
electronically should e-mail to: [email protected].
    The notification to the Interference Office, Arecibo Observatory 
shall be made prior to, or simultaneously with, the filing of the 
application with the Commission. The notification shall state the 
geographical coordinates of the antenna (NAD-83 datum), antenna height 
above ground, ground elevation at the antenna, antenna directivity and 
gain, proposed frequency and FCC Rule Part, type of emission, and 
effective radiated power.
    After receipt of such applications, the Commission will allow the 
Arecibo Observatory a period of 20 days for comments or objections in 
response to the notification indicated. The applicant will be required 
to make reasonable efforts to resolve or mitigate any potential 
interference problem with the Arecibo Observatory and to file either an 
amendment to the application or a modification application, as 
appropriate. The Commission shall determine whether an applicant has 
satisfied its responsibility to make

reasonable efforts to protect the Observatory from interference.

    Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 73.1125(d)(1) requires AM, FM or TV 
licensees to notify the Commission when the main studio is relocated 
from one point to another within the locations described in 47 CFR 
73.1125(a) or (c) and from a point inside the locations specified in 
Section 73.1125(a) or (c) to one within those locations.
    47 CFR 73.1125(d)(2) requires licensees to receive written 
authority to locate a main studio outside the locations specified in 
paragraph 47 CFR 73.1125(a) or (c) for the first time must be obtained 
from the Audio Division, Media Bureau for AM and FM stations, or the 
Video Division for TV and Class A television stations before the studio 
may be moved to that location. Where the main studio is already 
authorized at a location outside those specified in paragraph (a) or 
(c) of this section, and the licensee or permittee desires to specify a 
new location also located outside those locations, written authority 
must also be received from the Commission prior to the relocation of 
the main studio. Authority for these changes may be requested by filing 
a letter with an explanation of the proposed changes with the 
appropriate division. Licensees or permittees should also be aware that 
the filing of such a letter request does not imply approval of the 
relocation request, because each request is addressed on a case-by-case 
basis. A filing fee is required for commercial AM, FM, TV or Class A TV 
licensees or permittees filing a letter request under the section.

prospective rate reductions, refunds or other relief to subscribers. 
The certification must be filed with the Commission within 90 days from 
the date the Commission released the order mandating a remedy. These
