SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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

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 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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before January 28, 
2019. 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 contacts below as soon as possible.

    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained

frequency, output power, and modulation of each transmitter authorized 
to operate with power in excel 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 name of the person making the 
measurements. The information is normally used by the licensee to 
ensure that equipment is operating within prescribed tolerances. Prior 
technical operation of transmitters helps limit interference to other 
users and provides the licensee with the maximum possible utilization 
of equipment.

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. This information is used by the Commission to ensure that 
particular stations are licensed and operated in compliance with 
applicable rules, statutes, and treaties.
