Construct or Make Changes in an 

International Broadcast Station.

respondents; 10 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 6 hours

336 and 339. 

Total Annual Burden: 60 hours. 

Annual Cost Burden: $46,050.

Management and Budget (OMB) as an 

extension following the 60-day 

comment period in order to obtain the 

full three-year clearance from OMB. 

The Federal Communications 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) received 

approval from the OMB to develop a 

new application titled, ‘‘Application for 

Authority to Construct or Make Changes 

in an International Broadcast Station 

(FCC Form 420–IB)’’ to request authority 

from the Commission to construct or 

make changes in an international 

broadcast station. This application has 

not been implemented and released to 

the public yet due to a lack of budget 

resources and technical staff. After the 

FCC Form 420–IB has been 

implemented and the Commission has 

obtained final approval from the OMB, 

it will be completed by international 

broadcasters in lieu of the ‘‘Application 

for Authority to Construct or Make 

Changes in an International, 

Experimental Television, Experimental 

Facsimile, or a Developmental 

Broadcast Station,’’ (FCC Form 309). In 

the interim, applicants will continue to 

file the FCC Form 309 with the 

Commission. (Note: The OMB approved 

the FCC Form 309 under OMB Control 

No. 3060–1035. 

The information collected pursuant to 

the rules set forth in 47 CFR part 73, 

subpart F, is used by the Commission to 

assign frequencies for use by 

international broadcast stations, to grant 

authority to operate such stations and to 

determine if interference or adverse 

propagation conditions exist that may 

impact the operation of such stations. If 

the Commission did not collect this 

information, it would not be in a 

position to effectively coordinate 

spectrum for international broadcasters 

or to act for entities in times of 

frequency interference or adverse 

propagation conditions. The orderly 

nature of the provision of international 

broadcast service would be in jeopardy 

without the Commission’s involvement.
