Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collections. Comments are requested 
concerning: 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; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; 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 ways to further reduce the 
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer

    The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) 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 OMB control number.

    Needs and Uses: On January 20, 2000, the Commission adopted a 
Report and Order (R&O) in MM Docket No. 99-25, In the Matter of 
Creation of Low Power Radio Service. With the adoption of this R&O, the 
Commission authorized the licensing of two new classes of FM radio 
stations, generally referred to as low power FM stations (LPFM): A 
LP100 class for stations operating at 50-100 watts effective radiated 
power (ERP) at an antenna height above average terrain (HAAT) of 30 
meters; and a LP10 class for stations operating at 1-10 watts ERP and 
an antenna height of 30 meters HAAT. These stations will be operated on 
a noncommercial educational basis by entities that do not hold 
attributable interests in any other broadcast station or other media 
subject to the Commission's ownership rules. The LPFM service 
authorized in this Report and Order provides significant opportunities 
for new radio services. The LPFM service creates a class of radio 
stations designed to serve very localized communities or 
underrepresented groups within communities.
    In connection with this new service, the Commission developed a new 
FCC Form 319, Application for a Low Power FM Broadcast Station License. 
FCC Form 319 is required to apply for a license for a new or modified 
Low Power FM (LPFM) station.
