Radio Station license for Experimental 

Radio Service. 

Form No.: FCC Form 405. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit and not-for-profit institutions. 

Number of Respondents: 243 

respondents; 243 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 2.25 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and every two year reporting 

requirements and third party disclosure 

requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this information collection 

(IC) is contained in sections 4(i), 301, 

302, 303(e), 303(f), and 303(r), of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended; 47 U.S.C. Sections 154(i), 301, 

302, 303(e), 303(f) and 303(r). 

Total Annual Burden: 547 hours.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: 

Applicants may request that any 

information supplied be withheld from 

public inspection, e.g., granted

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this information collection 

as an extension (no change in reporting

after this 60 day comment period in 

order to obtain the full three year 

clearance from the OMB. There is a 

slight adjustment increase to the annual 

estimated cost burden (+$1,180). 

FCC Form 405 is used by the 

Experimental Radio Service to apply for 

renewal of radio station licenses at the 

FCC. Section 307 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, limits the term of radio 

licenses to five years and requires that 

written applications be submitted for 

renewal. The regular license period for 

stations in the Experimental Radio 

Service is either two or five years. 

The information submitted on FCC 

Form 405 is used by Commission staff 

to evaluate the applicant/licensee’s need 

for a license renewal. In performing this 

function, staff performs analysis of the 

renewal request as compared to the 

original license grant to ascertain if any 

changes are requested. If so, additional 

analysis is performed to determine if 

such changes met the requirements of 

the rules of the Experimental Radio 

Service for interference free operation. If 

needed, the collected information is 

used to coordinate such operation with 

other Commission bureaus or other 

Federal Agencies. All applications are 

also analyzed on their merits regarding 

whether they meet the general 

requirements for an Experimental 

license. These requirements are set out 

in 47 CFR part 5.
