*Number of Respondents:*                     22,000 respondents; 1,188,761 responses.                

*Estimated Time Per Response:*.017 hours-40 hours.                

Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement and recordkeeping requirement.

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     N/A.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     Part 11 contains rules and regulations providing for an EAS. The EAS provides the President with the capability to provide immediate communications and information to the general public at the national, state, and local area level during periods of national emergency. The EAS also provides state and local governments and the National Weather Service with the capability to provide immediate communications and information to the general public concerning emergency situations posting a threat to life and property.                

Part 11 describes the required technical standards and operational procedures of the EAS for AM, FM, and TV broadcast stations, cable systems, wireless cable systems and other participating entities and includes recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

                    This information is used by FCC staff as part of routine inspections of broadcast stations. Accurate recordkeeping of this data is vital in determining the location and nature of possible equipment failure on the part                           ( print page 58217)                        of the transmitting or receiving entity. Furthermore, since the national level EAS is solely for the President's use, its proper operation must be assured.This information collection is being revised by eliminating the one-time requirement to purchase a computer chip to voluntarily update the event and location codes. This requirement was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on 1/21/03. After this 60 day comment period, the Commission will submit a Request for OMB Review (OMB 83i submission) to obtain approval of this revised collection.

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     N/A.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     The owner of any proposed or existing antenna structure that requires notice of proposed construction to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must register the structure with the Commission. This includes those structures used as part of stations licensed by the Commission for the transmission of radio energy, or to be used as part of a cable television head end system. Structure owners are required to provide specific information under Part 17. The data is used by FCC staff during investigations related to air safety or radio frequency interference.                

After the 60 day comment period has ended, the Commission will submit a Request for OMB Review (OMB 83i submission) to obtain approval of this extended (no change in requirements) collection.
