following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. An agency may not

currently valid control number. No person shall be subject to any 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject

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

information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0139.
    Title: Application for Antenna Structure Registration.
    Form No.: FCC Form 854.

[[Page 49458]]

    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 4,500 respondents; 4,500 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .50 hours estimated burden per 
response.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements and third 
party disclosure requirement (labeling/posting requirements).
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Total Annual Burden: 6,750 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $98,000.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request 
materials submitted to the Commission be withheld from public 
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information 
collection (IC) to the OMB as an extension (no change in reporting, 
recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements) during this 
comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The 
Commission is reporting a -$85,000 annual cost adjustment. This 
adjustment is due to a decrease in the number of responses and 
therefore, annual costs, since the last submission to the OMB. FCC Form 
854 is to be used to register structures used for wire or radio 
communication service in any area where radio services are regulated by 
the Commission; to make changes to existing registered structures or 
pending applications; or to notify the Commission of the completion of 
construction or dismantlement of structures, as required by Commission 
rules and regulations.
    Currently, each antenna structure owner proposing to construct or 
alter an antenna structure that is more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) in 
height, or that may interfere with the approach or departure space of a 
nearby airport runway must notify the Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA) of proposed construction. The FAA determines whether the antenna 
structure constitutes a potential hazard, and may recommend appropriate 
painting and lighting for the structure. The Commission then uses the 
FAA's recommendation to impose specific painting and/or lighting 
requirements on subject licensees.
    The information will be used by the Commission to maintain a 
current registration database which increases air safety by allowing 
the FAA and the Commission to identify potential hazards. One of the 
Commission's primary responsibilities is to ensure that antenna 
structures do not pose a threat to air safety.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
