The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).

For further information on this submission contact Judy Boley, Federal Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214. Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should contact Timothy Fain, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 395-3561. Please note: The Commission has requested expedited OMB review of this item by December 15, 1994, under the provisions of 5 CFR 1320.18. OMB Number: 3060-0110 Title: Application for renewal of license for AM, FM, TV, Translator or LPTV station Form Number: FCC Form 303-S Action: Revision of a currently approved collection Respondents: State or local governments, non-profit institutions and businesses or other for-profit (including small businesses) Frequency of Response: Other: once every 5 years for TV; once every 7 years for radio Estimated Annual Burden: 1,310 responses; 1.04 hours average burden per response; 1,362 hours total annual burden Needs and Uses: FCC Form 303-S is used in applying for renewal of license for a commercial or noncommercial AM, FM, or TV broadcast station and FM translator, TV translator or Low Power TV broadcast stations. It can also be used in seeking the joint renewal of licenses for an FM or TV translator station and its co-owned primary FM, TV or LPTV station. On 2/24/93, OMB approved a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in MM Docket No. 92-304, Renewal Reporting Requirements for Full Power, Commercial AM, FM, and TV Broadcast Stations. On 8/20/92, the Commission adopted a Report and Order adopting the requirement that licensees of full power commercial AM, FM, and TV stations to report whether, at the time of license renewal, their stations are on-the-air or have discontinued operations. The necessary exhibit will have an additional burden of 1 hour on those stations that are off-the-air or have discontinued operations. On 10/13/94, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in MM Docket No. 92-168, Modifying Renewal Dates for Certain Stations Licensed Under Part 74 of the Commission's Rules; and Revising FCC Form 303-S. This Report and Order will change the license renewal dates of FM and TV translator stations and LPTV stations licensed under 47 CFR Part 74 to coincide with those of full service radio or television stations operating in the same state. The Commission will grant translator and LPTV applicants filing for license renewal a short-term renewal with the license period extending only until the end of the license period for full service stations located in the same state. This short license renewal period will create an extra one-time renewal filing for some licensees. The Commission will waive the filing fee for renewal applications of those stations who are required to make an extra filing. This Report and Order also eliminates FCC Form 348 and revises the FCC Form 303-S to incorporate information included in the Form 348. These form revisions will permit translator stations co-owned with primary stations in the same state which rebroadcast the same signal as the primary station to file for license renewal on a single application form with their primary station. In addition, the Report and Order added a certification that an FM translator applicant has complied with all FM translator rules, particularly those relating to ownership, funding and support. The data is used by FCC staff to assure that the necessary reports connected with the renewal application have been filed and that licensee continues to meet basic statutory requirements to remain a licensee of a broadcast station.
