following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or 
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently

failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the

    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 20 AM Licensees.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour per 73.69(d)(1); 2 hours per 
73.69(d)(5).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Total Annual Burden: 30.
    Total Annual Costs: None.
    Needs and Uses: Section 73.69(c) requires AM station licensees with 
directional antennas to file an informal request to operate without 
required monitors with the Mass Media Bureau in Washington, DC, when 
conditions beyond the control of the licensee prevent the restoration 
of an antenna monitor to service within a 120 day period. Section 
73.69(d)(1) requires that AM licensees with directional antennas 
request and obtain temporary authority to operate with parameters at 
variance with licensed values when an authorized antenna monitor is 
replaced pending issuance of a modified license specifying new 
parameters. Section 73.69(d)(5) requires AM licensees with directional 
antennas to submit an informal request for modification of license to 
the FCC within 30 days of the date of antenna monitor replacement. 
Station licensees must operate in accordance with station licenses. The 
data collected by Section 73.69(c) is used by the FCC Engineer to grant 
continued approval to operate without the required monitors. The data 
collected by Section 73.69(d)(1) is used by FCC staff to grant interim 
authority to licensees to operate in variance of the station license. 
The data collected by Section 73.69(d)(5) is used by FCC staff to issue 
a modified license.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
