FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. 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 on 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before August 26, 
2011. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments but find 
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, 
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to the Federal Communications 
Commission via e-mail to [email protected] and [email protected].

information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

    Needs and Uses: Section 80.605 is necessary because applicants are 
required to obtain written permission from the Coast Guard in the area 
where radio-navigation/radio-location devices are located. This rule 
insures that no hazard to marine navigation will result from the grant 
of applications for non-selectable transponders and shore based radio-
navigation aids. The Coast Guard is responsible for making this 
determination under 14 U.S.C. 18. Section 308(b) of the Communications

[[Page 37352]]

Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 308(b) mandates that the Commission 
have such facts before it to determine whether an application should be 
granted or denied. The potential hazard to navigation is a critical 
factor in determining whether this type of radio device should be 
authorized.
