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, 44 U.S.C. 3501 - 3520. 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; (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 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 (PRA) that does not 
display a currently valid OMB control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0261.
    Title: Section 90.215, Transmitter Measurements.
    Form Number: N/A.
    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 and Responses: 184,655 respondents, 409,048 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: .033 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 
CFR 303(f).
    Total Annual Burden: 13,499 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 OMB after this comment period to obtain the 
full three year clearance from them. The Commission will be submitting 
this information collection as an extension (no change in the 
recordkeeping requirement). The Commission is reporting a 8,541 hour 
increase which is due to an adjustment that corrects errors detected in 
the previous calculations. Therefore, the Commission is reporting more 
accurate estimates to the OMB.
    Section 90.215 requires station licensees to measure the carrier 
frequency, output power, and modulation of each transmitter authorized 
to operate with power in excess of two watts when the transmitter is 
initially installed and when any changes are made which would likely 
affect the modulation characteristics. Such measurements, which help 
ensure proper operation of transmitters, are to be made by a qualified 
engineering measurement service, and are required to be retained in the 
station records, along with the name and address of the engineering 
measurement service, and the person making the measurements.


Federal Communications Commission.
