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.
    As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and 
as required by the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC 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 
than 25 employees.
    OMB Control Number: 3060-0264.
    Title: Section 80.413, On-Board Station Equipment Records.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit entities, not-for-profit 
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000 respondents; 1,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 2 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 
U.S.C. 154, 303, 307(e), 309 and 332 and 151-155 and sections 301-609 
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,000 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission is seeking an extension of this 
expiring information collection in order to obtain the full three-year 
approval from OMB. There is no change to the recordkeeping requirement.
    The information collection requirements contained in Section 80.413 
require the licensee of an on-board station to keep equipment records 
which show:
    (1) The ship name and identification of the on-board station;
    (2) The number of and type of repeater and mobile units used on-
board the vessel; and
    (3) The date the type of equipment which is added or removed from 
the on-board station.
    The information is used by FCC personnel during inspections and 
investigations to determine what mobile units and repeaters are 
associated with on-board stations aboard a particular vessel. If this 
information were not maintained, no means would be available to 
determine if this type of radio equipment is authorized or who is 
responsible for its operation. Enforcement and frequency management 
programs would be negatively affected if the information were not 
retained.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
