SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control Number: 3060–0341.

Title: Section 73.1680 Emergency

antennas.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Extension of

currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 142.

Estimated time per response: 1.5

hours (0.5 hours respondent; 1.0 hour

contract attorney).

Frequency of response: reporting, on

occasion.

Total annual burden: 71 hours.

Total annual costs: $28,400.

Needs and Uses: Section 73.1680

requires that licensees of AM, FM or TV

stations submit an informal request to

the FCC (within 24 hours of

commencement of use) to continue

operation with an emergency antenna.

An emergency antenna is one that is

erected for temporary use after the

authorized main and auxiliary antennas

are damaged and cannot be used. The

data is used by FCC staff to ensure that

interference is not caused to other

existing stations.

OMB Control Number: 3060–0340.

Title: Section 73.51 Determining

operating power.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Extension of

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Business or other forprofit.

Number of Respondents: 4,867.

Estimated time per response: 0.25

hours per notation/3 hours per

efficiency factor determination.

Frequency of response:

Recordkeeping.

Total annual burden: 1,448 hours.

Total annual costs: $0.

Needs and Uses: When it is not

possible to use the direct method of

power determination due to technical

reasons, the indirect method of

determining antenna input power may

be used on a temporary basis. Section

73.51(d) requires that a notation be

made in the station log indicating the

dates of commencement and

termination of measurement using the

indirect method of power

determination. Section 73.51(e) requires

that AM stations determining the

antenna input power by the indirect

method must determine the value F

(efficiency factor) applicable to each

mode of operation and must maintain a

record thereof with a notation of its

derivation. This recordkeeping

requirement is used by FCC staff in field

investigations to monitor licensees’

compliance with the FCC’s technical

rules and to ensure that licensee is

operating in accordance with its station

authorization. The value F (efficiency

factor) is used by station personnel in

the event that measurement by the

indirect method of power is necessary.
