FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority, Comments Requested

December 3, 2010.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its 
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s), as required by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501--3520. 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; (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; and (e) 
ways to further reduce the information collection burden for small 
business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 currently valid OMB control number.

    Needs and Uses: The Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) 
is a series of agreements between the Federal Communications 
Commission's (FCC) Enforcement Bureau and a private entity, usually a 
state broadcast association, whereby the private entity agrees to 
facilitate inspections (and re-inspections, where appropriate) of 
participating broadcast stations to determine station compliance with 
FCC regulations. Broadcast stations participate in ABIP on a voluntary 
basis. The private entities notify their local FCC District Office or 
Resident Agent Office in writing of those stations that pass the ABIP 
inspection and have been issued a Certificate of Compliance by the ABIP 
inspector. The FCC uses this information to determine which broadcast 
stations have been certified in compliance with FCC Rules and will not 
be subject to certain random FCC inspections.
