FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

Public Information Collection Requirements Submitted to the 
Office of Management and Budget for Review

November 25, 1994.
    The Federal Communications Commission has submitted the following 
information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3507).
    Copies of these submissions may be purchased from the Commission's 
copy contractor, International Transcription Service, Inc., 2100 M 
Street, NW, Suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, (202) 857-3800. For 
further information on these submissions contact Judy Boley, Federal 
Communications Commission, (202) 418-0214. Persons wishing to comment 
on these information collections should contact Timothy Fain, Office of 
Management and Budget, Room 10214 NEOB, Washington, DC 20503, (202) 
395-3561.
OMB Number: 3060-0496.
    Title: ARMIS Operating Data Report.
    Report Number: FCC Report 43-08.
    Action: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 50 responses, 160 hours average burden per 
response, 8,000 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: FCC Report 43-08 is one of several reports 
comprising the automated reporting system. It is an annual report which 
consists of statistical schedules previously contained in FCC Form M 
which are needed by the Commission to monitor network growth, usage, 
and reliability. The information contained in the automated reports 
provides the necessary detail to enable this Commission to fulfill its 
regulatory responsibilities. Automated reportingeatly enhances the 
Commission's ability to process and analyze the extensive amounts of 
data that are needed to administer its rules. Automating and organizing 
data as submitted to the Commission facilitates the timely and 
efficient analyses of revenue requirements and rate of return, provides 
an improved basis for auditing and other oversight functions and 
enhances the Commission's ability to quantify the effects of policy 
proposals. This submission is an extension of the current OMB approval 
- no changes to requirements.

OMB Number: None.
    Title: Application for AM Broadcast Station License.
    Form Number: FCC Form 302-AM.
    Action: New collection.
    Respondents: Non-profit institutions, and businesses or other for-
profit (including small businesses).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 400 responses; 639.88 hours average burden 
per response; 255,952 hours total annual burden.
    Needs and Uses: On 7/16/92, the OMB approved for use a new FCC Form 
302-FM (3060-0506) to be used by licensees and permittees to apply for 
a new or modified FM license. The FCC Form 302-FM was created through 
the Total Quality Management (TQM) process. At the time of approval, 
the current FCC Form 302 was to be used only for the AM and TV 
services. At this time, the Commission is separating the AM and TV 
services into separate forms. The FCC Form 302-TV will keep the current 
OMB control number (3060-0029). The FCC Form 302-AM is being submitted 
as a new collection. Licensees and permittees of AM broadcast stations 
are required to file FCC Form 302-AM to obtain a new or modified 
station license, and/or to notify the Commission of certain changes in 
the licensed facilities of these stations. Additionally, when changes 
are made to an AM station which alter the resistance of the antenna 
system, a license must initiate a determination of the operating power 
by the direct method. The results of this are reported to the 
Commission using the FCC Form 302-AM. The data is used by FCC staff to 
confirm that the station has been built to terms specified in the 
outstanding construction permit, and to update FCC station files. Data 
is then extracted from FCC Form 302-AM for inclusion in the subsequent 
license to operate the station.
