FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

[OMB 3060-1050]


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or the 
Commission) invites the general public and other federal agencies to 
take this opportunity to comment on the following information 
collection. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the Commission, including whether the information shall have 
practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; 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; and ways to 
further reduce the information collection burden on small business 
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
    The FCC 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 PRA that does not display a valid Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

DATES: Written PRA comments should be submitted on or before April 12, 
2016. 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 PRA comments to Cathy Williams, FCC, via email 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#49191b08092f2a2a672e263f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="42121003022421216c252d34">[email protected]</span></a> and to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9cdffde8f4e5b2cbf5f0f0f5fdf1efdcfaffffb2fbf3ea"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="367557425e4f18615f5a5a5f575b457650555518515940">[email protected]</span></a>.

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in 47

Act of 1934, as amended.

    Needs and Uses: The Commission established a recordkeeping 
procedure in section 97.303(s) that required that amateur operator 
licensees using other antennas must maintain in their station records 
either manufacturer data on the antenna gain or calculations of the 
antenna gain.
    The amateur radio service governed by 47 CFR part 97 of the 
Commission's rules, provides spectrum for amateur radio service 
licensees to participate in a voluntary noncommercial communication 
service which provides emergency communications and allows 
experimentation with various radio techniques and technologies to 
further the understanding of radio use and the development of 
technologies.
    The information collection is used to calculate the effective 
radiated power (ERP) that the station is transmitting to ensure that 
ERP does not exceed 100 W PEP.
