following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) whether the proposed collection 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; (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, and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small

    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

a collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA) that does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

    Title: Section 87.109, Station Logs.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 5 respondents; 5 responses.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 100 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47

    Total Annual Burden: 500 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
after this comment period to obtain the full three year clearance from 
them. There is no change in the recordkeeping requirement. There is an 
adjustment increase in the total burden hours which is due to two 
additional respondents now estimated for this information collection.
    Section 87.109 requires that a station at a fixed location in the 
international aeronautical mobile service (IAMS) must maintain a log 
(written or automatic log) in accordance with the Annex 10 provisions 
of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Convention. 
This log is necessary to document the quality of service provided by 
fixed stations, including the harmful interference, equipment failure, 
and logging of distress and safety calls where applicable.
    The information is used by FCC personnel during inspections and 
investigations to ensure that stations are licensed and operated in 
compliance with applicable rules, statutes and treaties. If the 
information is not collected, documentation concerning station 
operations will be unavailable, fixed stations in the IAMS may not be 
in compliance with treaty requirements, and enforcement efforts will 
suffer.
