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

Notification.

Needs and Uses: The FCC's Enforcement Bureau formed the ABIP in

broadcast station licensees. Entities, usually state broadcast
associations, conduct inspections of broadcast stations on a voluntary
basis and notify the local FCC District Office, in writing via letter
or electronic mail, of those stations that pass the ABIP inspection.
This information is used by FCC staff to determine overall compliance
with FCC rules, and determine which broadcast

stations will not be subject to random inspections conducted by the
FCC's District Offices.
