*Form No.:*                     N/A.                 

*Type of Review:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                 

*Respondents:*                     Individuals or households.                 

*Number of Respondents:*                     10.                 

*Estimated Time Per Response:*.017 hours (1 minute).                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     Recordkeeping requirement.                 

*Total Annual Burden:*                     1 hour.                 

*Annual Cost Burden:*                     N/A.                 

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     Yes.                 

*Needs and Uses:*                     The recordkeeping requirement in Section 97.311 is necessary to document all spread spectrum (ss) transmissions by amateur radio operators. This requirement is necessary so that quick resolution of any harmful interference problems can be achieved and to ensure that the station is operating in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The information is used by FCC staff during inspections and investigations to ensure compliance with applicable rules, statutes, and treaties. In the absence of this recordkeeping requirement, field inspections and investigations related to the solution of cases of harmful interference would be severely hampered and needlessly prolonged due to the inability to quickly obtain vital information used to demodulate spread spectrum transmissions.                 

*OMB Control No.:*                     3060-0435.                 

*Title:*                     Section 80.361, Frequencies for Narrow-Band Direct-Printing (NB-DP) and Data Transmissions.

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     Yes.                 

*Needs and Uses:*                     Section 80.361 requires public coast station applicants to submit a “showing of need” to obtain new or additional narrow-band direct-printing (NB-DP) frequencies. Applicants for new or additional NB-DP frequencies must also show the service schedule for each currently licensed or proposed series of NB-DP frequencies. The need for additional frequencies is based on showing a minimum 40% usage of existing NB-DP frequencies. The FCC uses this information to determine whether to grant a public coast station's application for a NB-DP frequency and if these frequencies are being hoarded or under utilized.                 

*OMB Control No.:*                     3060-0740.                 

*Title:*                     Section 95.1015, Disclosure Policies.                 

*Form No.:*                     N/A.

*Total Annual Burden:*                     203 hours.                 

*Annual Cost Burden:*                     $10,000.                 

*Privacy Act Impact Assessment:*                     No.                 

*Needs and Uses:*                     Prior to operating a Low Power Radio Service (LPRS) transmitter for Automated Maritime Telecommunications System (AMTS) purposes, an AMTS licensee must notify, in writing, each television station that may be affected by such operations, as defined in Section 80.215(h). The notification provided with the station's license application is sufficient to satisfy this requirement if no new television stations would be affected. The information is used by Commission staff and affected television stations to be aware of the location of potential harmful interference from AMTS operations.
