Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 168 / Friday, August 29, 1997 / Notices 45813

Estimated Annual Burden: 448 annual

hours; .166 hours per respondent; 2,700

respondents.

Description: Aviation Ground and

Marine Coast Radio Station licensees are

required to apply for renewal of their

radio station authorization every five

years. This form will be used for that

purpose. The form is being revised to

add spaces to collect the applicant’s

Internet or e-mail address and Taxpayer

Identification Number (TIN) to comply

with the Debt Collection Improvement

Act of 1996. The Wireless

Telecommunications Bureau has

developed a generic renewal application

for electronic filing, FCC Form 900.

Once implemented, applicants for

renewal of Aviation Ground and Marine

Coast licenses will have the option to

use FCC Form 452–R or electronically

file for renewal using the FCC Form 900.

The FCC staff will use the data to

determine eligibility for a renewed radio

station authorization, and to issue a

radio station license. Data is also used

by Compliance personnel in

conjunction with field engineers for

enforcement and interference resolution

purposes.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0368.

Expiration Date: 8/31/2000.

Title: Question Pools Section 97.523.

Form: N/A.

Estimated Annual Burden: 480 total

annual hours; average 3 hours per

respondent; 160 responses.

Description: The recordkeeping

requirement contained in Section

97.523 is necessary to permit question

pools used in preparing amateur

examinations to be maintained by

Volunteer-Examiner Coordinators

(VEC’s). These question pools must be

published and made available to the

public before the questions are used in

an examination. The information

maintained by the VEC’s is used to

prepare amateur examinations. If this

information was not maintained the

amateur examination program would

deteriorate and become outdated. These

examinations would not adequately

measure the qualifications of the

applicants.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0068.

Expiration Date: 8/31/2000.

Title: Application for Consent to

Assignment of Radio Station

Construction Authorization or License

for Stations in Services Other Than

Broadcast.

Form: FCC 702.

Estimated Annual Burden: 13,220

total annual hours; average 5 hours per

respondent; 2,644 responses.

Description: The FCC Form 702 is

used to request Commission approval of

assignment of radio station construction

authorization or license. The form was

revised to increase the number of

respondents and total annual burden

hours as a result of the Third Report and

Order, Redesignation of 27.5 GHz

Frequency Band, Establishing Rules and

Policies for Local Multipoint

Distribution Service (LMDS). The

Commission concluded that any LMDS

licensee will be permitted to partition or

disaggregate portions of its

authorization. The fifth notice of

Proposed Rulemaking proposes that this

form will be used to complete the

disaggregation and partitioning of

LMDS. This form may also be used in

the future disaggregation and

partitioning for a variety of spectrumbased services licensed by the

Commission. Specific rules will be

adopted in Reports and Orders or by

public notice for each service subject to

disaggregation and partitioning.

The form has been revised to include

a space for the applicant to provide an

Internet or e-mail address is being

added to the form as an alternative

media for contacting the applicant with

questions relating to the application. We

are also requesting permission to collect

the Taxpayer Identification Number

(TIN) to comply with the Debt

Collection Improvement Act of 1996.

The drug certification question has been

eliminated and text added to the

certification block prior to signature in

lieu of check a ‘‘yes/no’’ block. The

application has been revised to include

reference to Part 101 applicants. The

data will be used by Commission staff

to determine the financial, legal and

technical qualifications of the applicant.
