Federal Communications Commission

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its

continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public

and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the

following information collection, as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or

sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently

valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for

failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control

number. Comments are requested concerning (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

of the information collected; and (d) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control Number: 3060-0714

Title: Antenna Registration Number Required as Supplement to

Application Forms.

Form Number: Not applicable.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents: Individuals or households; Businesses or other for-

profit; State, Local or Tribal Government; Not-for-profit institutions;

Farms; Federal Government.

Number of Respondents: 516,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: 5 minutes

Frequency of Response: Reporting, on occasion.

Total Annual Burden: 43,344 hours.

Needs and Uses: Effective July 1, 1996, the current antenna

clearance procedures were replaced with a uniform registration

procedure that applied to antenna structure owners. Structure owners

receive an Antenna Structure Registration Number which is a unique

number that identifies an antenna structure. Once obtained, this number

must be used on all filings related to the antenna structure. The

Commission requires this Registration Number to be submitted with any

of the applications for licensing.

This clearance was required in order to allow time for the

Commission to update it's application forms to include collection of

Antenna Structure

Registration Number. While we have accomplished this task, we continue

to accept older versions of the forms with the registration number as

an attachment, merely as a customer convenience until radio services

are fully implemented in ULS.

There is no change to the number of respondents or total annual

burden and there are no additional costs to respondents.

Secretary.
