Authority, Comments Requested
March 1, 2002.
SUMMARY: The Federal Communications Commission, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden invites the general public
and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An agency may not conduct or

valid control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a valid control
number. Comments are requested concerning (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d) 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.

Estimated Time Per Response: 5 minutes (.084 hours).
Total Annual Burden: 102 hours.
Estimated Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $0.
Frequency of Response: Annual reporting requirement.
Needs and Uses: The Communications Act requires that the Commission
must inspect the radio installation of large cargo ships and certain
passenger ships at least once a year to ensure that the radio
installation is in compliance with the requirements of the
Communications Act. Additionally, the communications Act requires the
inspection of small passenger ships at least once every five years. The
Safety Convention (which the United States is signatory) also requires
an annual inspection, however, permits an Administration to entrust the
inspections to either surveyors nominated for the purpose or to
organizations recognized by it. There, the United States can have other
entities conduct the radio inspection of vessels for compliance with
the Safety Convention. The Commission adopted Rules that FCC-licensed
technicians provide a summary of the results of the inspection in the
ship's log and provide the vessel with a ship inspection safety
certificate.
Federal Communications Commission.

Acting Secretary.
