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

following information collection(s), 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.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other for-profit.

Number of Respondents: 6 low power auxiliary stations.

Estimated Time Per Response: 2 hours.

Frequency of Response: Reporting, on occasion.

Total Annual Burden: 12 hours.

Total Annual Cost: $0.

Needs and Uses: Section 74.833 requires that requests for special

temporary authorization be made by informal applications for low power

auxiliary station operations which cannot be conducted in accordance

with Section 74.24 of the FCC's rules and for operations of a temporary

nature. (Section 74.24 states that classes of broadcast auxiliary

stations may be operated on a short-term basis under the authority

conveyed by a Part 73 licensee without prior authorization from the

FCC, subject to certain conditions.) The data is used by FCC staff to

insure that the temporary operation of a low power auxiliary station

will not cause interference to other existing stations and to assure

compliance with current FCC rules and regulations.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
