FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1050; FR ID 218851]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
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 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 collection(s). 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 comments should be submitted on or before July 9, 2024. 
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.

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.

    Title: Section 97.303, Frequency Sharing Requirements.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 5,000 respondents; 5,000 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 20 minutes (.33 hours).

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47 
U.S.C. 151, 154, 301, 302(a) and 303(c), and (f) of the Communications 
Act of 1934, as amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 1,650 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission established a recordkeeping 
procedure in section 97.303(s) that required that amateur operator 
licensees using other antennas must maintain in their station records 
either manufacturer data on the antenna gain or calculations of the 
antenna gain.
    The amateur radio service governed by 47 CFR part 97 of the 
Commission's rules, provides spectrum for amateur radio service 
licensees to participate in a voluntary noncommercial communication 
service which provides emergency communications and allows 
experimentation with various radio techniques and technologies to 
further the understanding of radio use and the development of 
technologies. The information collection is used to calculate the 
effective radiated power (ERP) that the station is transmitting to 
ensure that ERP does not exceed 100 W PEP.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary.
