Zoning Regulation of Satellite Earth

Stations, Report and Order and Further

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

Form No.: N/A.

Type of Review: Revision of existing

collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households; Not-for-profit institutions;

Business or other for-profit; Small

businesses and organizations; farms;

State, local or Tribal Government.

Number of Respondents: 60.

Estimated time per response: 3 hours

to prepare petitions for Declaratory

Rulings and 5 hours per respondent to

prepare Petitions for Waiver.

Total Annual Burden: 172 hours.

Total Annualized Cost per

respondent: $450 per respondent filing

for Declaratory Rulings and $750 per

Needs and Uses: On April 17, 1996,

the Commission issued a Public Notice,

Report No. SPB–41, setting forth

procedures to be followed when

submitting petitions for declaratory

ruling or waiver, under Section 25.104

of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR

25.104, of governmental restrictions on

the installation of satellite earth

stations. Emergency OMB approval for

this information collection was granted

by OMB through June 30, 1996 (OMB

Approval Number 3060–0705). The

Commission is seeking comments to

maintain the collection and on proposed

changes. This information collection

permits persons to petition the

Commission to declare nonfederal,

governmental zoning regulations to be

preempted pursuant to Section 25.104

of the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR

25.104. It further allows nonfederal,

governmental entities to petition for a

waiver of any or all of Section 25.104 in

order to permit them to enforce

noncompliant zoning regulations. See

Report and Order in Preemption of

Local Zoning Regulation of Satellite

Earth Stations, 61 FR 10896 (March 17,

1996). In addition, the Commission has

proposed to extend the preemption rule

to non-governmental restrictions, such

as, covenants and home owner

association rules, satellite earth stations

less than one meter in diameter. See

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

in Preemption of Local Zoning

Regulation of Satellite Earth Stations, 61

FR 10710 (March 15, 1996). The

Commission is requesting OMB

approval of this voluntary collection to

allow enforcement of Section 25.104 of

the rules.

The information collected will be

used by the Commission to determine,

in the cases of Petitions for Declaratory

Ruling, whether a nonfederal,

governmental and zoning regulation is

preempted under Section 25.104 of the

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 25.104; or,

in cases of Petitions for Waiver, whether

preemption under Section 25.104 may

be waived for a given regulation. The

collection is being revised to include

collections that may be submitted to the

Commission for a determination of

whether a nongovernmental regulation,

i.e., a deed covenant, is preempted

under Section 25.104. The information

will be submitted voluntarily by all

respondents.

Acting Secretary.
