FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
[OMB 3060-0139]
Information Collection Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revision of a
currently approved public information collection pursuant to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). An agency may
not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number, and no person is required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid control number. Comments concerning the accuracy of the burden
estimates and any suggestions for reducing the burden should be
directed to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section below.

Director, at (202) 418-2918, or email: [email protected].

for the respondents are as follows:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0139.

Respondents: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit entities, not-for-profit institutions and State, local or Tribal

Statutory authority for this information collection is contained in
Sections 1, 2, 4(i), 303, and 309(j) of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 152, 154(i), 303, and 309(j), Section 102(C)
of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
4332(C), and Section 1506.6 of the regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality, 40 CFR 1506.6.
Total Annual Burden: 25,682 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $1,176,813.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request
materials or information submitted to the Commission be withheld from
public inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. This information collection
contains personally identifiable information on individuals which is
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974. Information on the FCC Form 854 is
maintained in the Commission's System of Records, FCC/WTB-1, ``Wireless
Services Licensing Records.'' These licensee records are publicly
available and routinely used in accordance of subsection b of the
Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), as amended. Taxpayer Identification
Numbers (TINs) and materials that are afforded confidential treatment
pursuant to a request made under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules
will not be available for public inspection.
Needs and Uses: The purpose of FCC Form 854 is to, among other
things, register antenna structures (radio towers) that are used for
communication services regulated by the Commission and make changes to
existing antenna structure registrations or pending applications for
registration. As discussed below, the Commission revised FCC Form 854
to implement measures adopted in a Report and Order, FCC 14-117, and
sought Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for this revised
information collection.
The Commission revised this information collection due to the
adoption of FCC 14-117, Report and Order, which streamlined and
eliminated outdated provisions of the Commission's Part 17 rules
governing the construction, marking, and lighting of antenna
structures. The changes to this collection are necessary to implement
two of the updates adopted in the Report and Order. The first, 17.4(j),
requires owners of certain antenna structures to file FCC Form 854 with
the Commission if there is any change or correction in the overall
height of one foot or greater or coordinates of one second or greater
in
[[Page 21346]]
longitude or latitude of a registered antenna structure. This change
will increase the number of these forms filed, or responses for this
collection, by approximately 100 per annum. The second change, found in
17.4(b), requires owners to note on FCC Form 854 that the registration
is voluntary if the antenna structure is otherwise not required to be
registered under section 17.4. For this, an additional checkbox will be
added to Form 854, but this revision will not increase the collection's
average burden per response. These changes will enable the Commission
to further modernize its rules while adhering to its statutory
responsibility to prevent antenna structures from being hazards to air
navigation.
