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 
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.

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, and not-for-profit

    Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as an extension

this 60 day comment period to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 
order to obtain the full three year clearance. The total annual burden 
hours have been adjusted slightly due to a change in the estimated time 
per response (from .083 to .084 hours).
    The Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) is an agreement 
between the FCC's Enforcement Bureau and an entity, usually a state 
broadcast association, in which the entity arranges for the inspection 
of the broadcast station to determine compliance with FCC regulations. 
The inspections are conducted on a voluntary basis and the entities 
notify the local FCC District Office or Resident Agent office, in 
writing via letter of those stations that pass the ABIP inspection and 
have been granted a Certificate of Compliance. The FCC's Enforcement 
Bureau (EB) standardized the existing ABIP in 2003 to establish a 
specific, uniform arrangement for the inspection of broadcast stations.
    This information will be used by FCC to determine which broadcast 
stations are in compliance with FCC rules and will not be subject to 
routine inspections conducted by the FCC's District Offices. Without 
this information, the FCC would not be able to determine which stations 
should be exempt from random inspections.
