Public Law 96–511. An agency may not

conduct or sponsor a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid control number.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of

OMB Control No.: 3060–0340.

Expiration Date: 08/31/2000.

Title: Section 73.51—Determining

operating power.

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,470

hours; 0.25 hour per notation (4,872

respondents) and 3 hours per efficiency

factor determination (84 respondents).

Description: 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 licensee’s 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.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0341.

Expiration Date: 08/31/2000.

Title: Section 73.1680—Emergency

antennas.

Estimated annual burden: 70 hours; 1

hour per response (request would be

hours); 140 respondents.

Description: 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 No.: 3060–0344.

Expiration Date: 08/31/2000.

Title: Section 1.1705—Method for

determining duration of Cuban

interference.

Estimated annual burden: 45 hours;

45 hours per respondent; 1 respondent.

Description: Section 1.1705 requires

U.S. applicants (AM stations) for

compensation to monitor and log signals

of interfering Cuban stations for 60

consecutive days and submit the results

to the Commission. The data is used by

FCC staff to assure that a Cuban station

has caused objectionable interference

within the service area of an AM station.

OMB Control No.: 3060–0345.

Expiration Date: 08/31/2000.

Title: Section 1.1709—Requirements

for filing applications for compensation.

Estimated annual burden: 2 hours; 30

hours per response (respondent would

spend approximately 2 hours in

consultation with hired attorney;

remaining time would be spent by

attorney in preparing application); 1

Description: Section 1.1709 requires

that U.S. AM radio stations submit an

informal application for compensation

of expenses incurred in mitigating the

effects of Cuban interference and any

supplemental information the

to file. The application must be

accompanied by certain documentation

demonstrating that the expenses were

incurred in connection with the

acquisition, installation or construction

of facilities for the purpose of mitigating

the effects of interference from Cuba.

The informal application and

supplemental information is used by

FCC staff to assure that compensation to

the station is justified.
