FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to Office of

Management and Budget for Review

February 1, 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 3235 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-

3561.

OMB Number: 3060-0466.

Title: Section 74.1283, Station identification.

Action: Extension of currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small

businesses).

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.

Estimated Annual Burden: 200 responses; .166 hour average burden

per response; 33 hours total annual burden.

Needs and Uses: Section 74.1283(c)(1) requires an FM translator

station whose station identification is made by the primary station to

furnish current information of the translator's call letters and

location (name, address and telephone number). This information is to

be kept in the primary station's files. The information is used by the

primary station licensee and/or FCC staff in field investigations to

contact the translator licensee in the event of malfunction of the

translator.

OMB Number: 3060-0473.

Title: Section 74.1251, Technical and equipment modifications.

Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit (including small

businesses).

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.

Estimated Annual Burden: 75 responses; .25 hour average burden per

response; 19 hours total annual burden.

Needs and Uses: Upon the installation or modification of

transmitting equipment for which prior FCC authority is not required

under the provisions of Sec. 74.1251(b)(1) the licensee shall place in

the station records a certification that the new installation complies

in all respects with the technical requirements of this part and the

terms of the station authorization. Section 74.1251(c) requires FM

translator licensees to notify the FCC, in writing, of changes in the

primary FM station being retransmitted. The certification of the new

installation is used by licensees to provide prospective users of the

modified equipment with necessary information. If no such information

exists, any future problems could provide difficult to solve and could

result in electronic frequency interference for long periods of time.

The notification of changes in the primary FM being retransmitted is

used by FCC staff to keep records up-to-date and to ensure compliance

with FCC rules and regulations.

Federal Communications Commission.

William F. Caton,

Acting Secretary.
