FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Submitted to OMB for
Review and Approval

January 5, 1999.
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.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before February 16,
1999. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Les Smith, Federal Communications
Commissions, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20554 or via the
Internet to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies
of the information collections contact Les Smith at (202) 418-0217 or
via the Internet at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0028.
Title: Application for Authorization in the Auxiliary Broadcast
Services.
Form Number: FCC 313.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business and other for-profit entities; State, Local,
or Tribal Government.

[[Page 2647]]

Number of Respondents: 1,500.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1.0 to 5.166 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements.
Total Annual Burden: 4,625 hours.
Total Annual Costs: $902,400.
Needs and Uses: FCC Form 313 is used by licensees or permittees of
AM, FM, and TV broadcast stations and eligible networks when applying
for a remote pickup, aural microwave, television microwave, and other
various auxiliary broadcast stations. Statutory authority for this
collection of information is contained in Sections 154(I) and 308 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. This form is required by 47
CFR 73.3511 and 73.3533. This form has been revised to delete the fee
payment information as FCC Form 159, Fee Remittance Advice, is now
required with any payment to the FCC. The Fee Remittance Advice
duplicates this information. Due to changes in the Antenna Structure
Registration procedures under Part 17 of the FCC Rules, this form will
collect the seven digit antenna structure registration number assigned
by the Commission. This form has also been revised to collect metric
measurements only. These changes should not affect the estimated
average burden per respondent.
The information will be used by the Commission to determine if the
proposal will meet statutory requirements; to determine eligibility for
a license; to aid in frequency spectrum management; and to ensure
interference will not be caused by existing stations. The data will be
used to issue an authorization and may be used for enforcement purposes
when necessary.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
