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: 3060-0297.
    Title: Section 80.503, Cooperative Use of Facilities.
    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: 100 respondents; 100 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 16 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Occasion reporting requirement and 
Recordkeeping requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. 
Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. Sections 151-155, 301-609 of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended; and 3 UST 3450, 3 UST 4726, 12 UST 2377.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,600 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirements contained 
in Section 80.503 require that a licensee of a private coast station or 
marine utility station on shore may install ship radio stations on 
board United States commercial transport vessels of other persons. In 
each case these persons must enter into a written agreement verifying 
that the ship station licensee has the sole right of control of the 
ship stations, that the vessel operators must use the ship stations 
subject to the orders and instructions of the coast station or marine 
utility station on shore, and that the ship station licensee will have 
sufficient control of the ship station to enable it to carry out its 
responsibilities under the ship station license. A copy of the 
contract/written agreement must be kept with the station records and 
made available for inspection by Commission representatives.
    The information is used by FCC personnel during inspection and 
investigations to ensure compliance with applicable rules. If this 
information was not available, enforcement efforts could be hindered; 
frequency congestion in certain bands could increase; and the financial 
viability of some public coast radiotelephone stations could be 
threatened.
