FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to Office of

Management and Budget for Review

May 24, 1994.

The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following

information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).

Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's

copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M

Street, NW., suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For

further information on these submissions contact Judy Boley, Federal

Communications Commission, (202) 632-0276. Persons wishing to comment

on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of

Management and Budget, room 3221 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-

3561.

OMB Number: 3060-0514.

Title: Secton 43.21(c) Holding Company Annual Report.

Action: Revision of currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.

Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.

Estimated Annual Burden: 20 responses; 1 hour average burden per

response; 20 hours total annual burden.

Needs and Uses: The Commission has adopted a Report and Order

eliminating the requirement that common carriers file pension and

benefits documents. The Order also revises the revenue threshold for

certain affiliates to file the Securities and Exchange Commission

Annual Form 10-K reports with the FCC. The FCC issued this Order to

fulfill its obligation to review reporting requirements as they meet

current regulatory needs. The change will result in savings to the

public by reducing industry reporting burdens and to the Commission by

reducing the cost of processing these filings and maintaining them in

storage. The information filed pursuant to Section 43.21(c) is used by

FCC staff members to regulate and monitor the telephone industry and by

the public to analyze the industry. Selected information is compiled

and published in the Commission's annual common carrier statistical

publication.

OMB Number: 3060-0040.

Title: Application for Aircraft Radio Station License and Temporary

Aircraft Radio Station Operating Authority.

Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Form Number: FCC Form 404/404-A.

Respondents: Individuals or households, state or local governments and

non-profit institutions, businesses or other for-profit (including

small businesses).

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.

Estimated Annual Burden: 28,000 responses; .33 hours average burden per

response; 9,240 hours total annual burden.

Needs and Uses: FCC Rules require that applicants file the FCC Form

404, or a new station license, renewal, or modification of an existing

license. An applicant filing for a new station license may operate the

aircraft radio station pending issuance of a station license for a

period of 90 days under a temporary operating authority evidenced by a

properly executed certification on FCC Form 404-A. The FCC staff will

use the data to determine eligibility for a radio station

authorization, and to issue a radio station license. Data is also used

by compliance Division personnel in conjunction with Field Engineers

for enforcement and interference resolution purposes.

Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
