FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the

Federal Communications Commission

November 12, 1997.

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(s), 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 January 20, 1998.

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.

Boley, Federal Communications

Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control No.: 3060–0444.

Title: Station Construction/

Operational Status Inquiry.

Form No.: FCC 800–A.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; businesses or other for

profit; small businesses or

organizations.

Number of Respondents: 11,500.

Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement.

Total Annual Burden: 11,500 hours.

Needs and Uses: The Commission

requests this collection of information

as a method for licensees to provide

information to verify a station has been

placed into operation and to notify the

Commission of the actual number of

mobile units placed in operation after

license grant. From this data, the

Commission is able to determine full

capacity channel loading, making

frequencies available for assignment and

modifying or cancelling licenses. The

data collected ensures licensees are not

authorized for more mobiles than they

are actually using. The revision is being

submitted to clarify the types of uses of

the form and frequency of use. We

believe that this use is already cleared

through OMB but in response to recent

public comment, we are submitting this

clarification. Except under limited

circumstances, certain Part 90 licenses

may not be transferred or assigned

unless the underlying facility is

constructed. This form will also be used

to determine compliance with the

Commission’s construction rules when

this information is not available from

either a previous submission, manual

records, or currently in the licensing

database.

Federal Communications Commission.

William F. Caton,

Acting Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is

hereby given that, in a letter dated

November 1, 1997, the President

declared a major disaster under the

authority of the Robert T. Stafford

Disaster Relief and Emergency

Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.),

as follows:

I have determined that the damage in

certain areas of the State of Nebraska,

resulting from severe snow storms, rain, and

strong winds on October 24–26, 1997, is of

sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant

a major disaster declaration under the Robert

T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency

Assistance Act (‘‘the Stafford Act’’). I,

therefore, declare that such a major disaster

exists in the State of Nebraska.

In order to provide Federal assistance, you

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds

available for these purposes, such amounts as

you find necessary for Federal disaster

assistance and administrative expenses.

You are authorized to provide

reimbursement for debris removal and

emergency protective measures under the

Public Assistance program, and Hazard

Mitigation in the designated areas. Consistent

with the requirement that Federal assistance

be supplemental, any Federal funds provided

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance

or Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75

percent of the total eligible costs.

The time period prescribed for the

implementation of section 310(a),

Priority to Certain Applications for

Public Facility and Public Housing

Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for

a period not to exceed six months after

the date of this declaration.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant

to the authority vested in the Director of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency under Executive Order 12148, I

hereby appoint Warren M. Pugh, Jr. of

the Federal Emergency Management

Agency to act as the Federal

Coordinating Officer for this declared

disaster.

I do hereby determine the following

areas of the State of Nebraska to have

been affected adversely by this declared

major disaster:
