FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-0222; FR ID 128817]


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

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

[[Page 12933]]

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 
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. 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 PRA comments should be submitted on or before May 1, 
2023. 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 Cathy Williams, FCC, via email to 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about the 
information collection, contact Cathy Williams at (202) 418-2918.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0222.
    Title: Section 97.213, Telecommand of an Amateur Station.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Business or other for profit entities.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 40,000 respondents and 40,000 
responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 minutes (.084 hours).
    Frequency of Response: Third party disclosure requirement.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The 
statutory authority for this collection is approved under 47 U.S.C. 
303, 151-155, 301-609.
    Total Annual Burden: 3,360 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: The third party disclosure requirement contained in 
47 CFR 97.213 consists of posting a photocopy of the amateur station 
license, a label with the name, address, and telephone number of the 
station licensee, and the name of at least one authorized control 
operator in a conspicuous place at the station location. This 
requirement is necessary so that quick resolution of any harmful 
interference problems can be identified and to ensure that the station 
is operating in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    This information is used by FCC personnel during inspections and 
investigations to determine who is responsible for the proper operation 
of the remotely controlled station. In the absence of this third party 
disclosure requirement, field inspections and investigations related to 
harmful interference could be severely hampered and needlessly 
prolonged due to inability to determine the responsible licensee.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
