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 May 9, 
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 
[email protected] and to [email protected].

[[Page 12103]]

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 303(f) of the Communications Act of 1934, as 
amended.
    Total Annual Burden: 869 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: No cost.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for 
confidentiality with this collection of information.
    Needs and Uses: Section 90.215 requires station licensees to 
measure the carrier frequency, output power, and modulation of each 
transmitter authorized to operate with power in excel of two watts when 
the transmitter is initially installed and when any changes are made 
which would likely affect the modulation characteristics. Such 
measurements, which help ensure proper operation of transmitters, are 
to be made by a qualified engineering measurement service, and are 
required to be retained in the station records, along with the name and 
address of the engineering measurement service, and the name of the 
person making the measurements.
    The information is normally used by the licensee to ensure that 
equipment is operating within prescribed tolerances. Prior technical 
operation of transmitters helps limit interference to other users and 
provides the licensee with the maximum possible utilization of 
equipment.
