FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Notice of Public Information Collections Submitted to OMB for 
Review and Approval

February 20, 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 proposed and/or continuing information collections, 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 
Commissions burden estimates; (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 March 28, 
1997. 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.

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Dorothy Conway, Federal 
Communications Commission, Room 234, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, DC 
20554 or via internet to [email protected] and Timothy Fain, OMB Desk 
Officer, 10236 NEOB 725 17th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20503 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    OMB Approval No.: 3060-0035.
    Title: Application for Renewal of Auxiliary Broadcast License.
    Form No.: FCC 313-R.
    Type of Review: Revision of a previously approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or others for profit.
    Number of Respondents: 50.
    Estimate Hour Per Response: 30 minutes per response.
    Total Annual Burden: 25 hours.
    Needs and Uses: FCC 313-R is used by licensees of remote pickup and 
low power stations that are not broadcast licensees (e.g., cable 
operators, network entities, international broadcast services, motion 
picture producers and television producers) to renew their auxiliary 
broadcast license. Statutory authority for this collection of 
information is contained in Section 307 of the Communications Act. It 
is also required by 47 CFR 73.3500 and 73.3539. The Commission intends 
to revise the application to include a place for the applicant to 
provide an Internet address and a Taxpayer Identification Number. The 
Internet address will provide the FCC with another media of contacting 
the applicant with questions about their application and the Taxpayer 
Identification Number is required to comply with the Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996. The anti-drug statement has been added to the 
items the applicant certifies to when signing the application. The 
Certificate of Renewal at the bottom of the application has been 
removed because the Certificate of Renewal is computer generated on 
laser printer and is no longer needed. The Commission has received OMB 
approval for electronic filing of the data collected on this form in 
connection with a generic renewal form for all Wireless 
Telecommunications Bureau Services, FCC form 900. The burden will be 
adjusted accordingly once this new form has been implemented and 
frequency of use has been determined.
    As a result of Part 101 becoming effective August 1, 1996, Part 74 
licensees (television auxiliary and aural studio link) are no longer 
required to use this form to renew their licenses. The number of 
respondents in this category was extremely low and since the estimate 
of number of respondents can vary in the remaining services, the number 
of respondents is not being revised. Additionally, the Commission 
adopted a Report and Order, MM Docket No. 96-90, extending the license 
terms of all broadcast licenses to 8 years, which will reduce the 
frequency of filing this information.

Federal Communications Commission.
William F. Caton,
Acting Secretary.
