following information collection(s), as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) 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 control number. No person shall be subject to any

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 3060-0139.
Title: Application for Antenna Structure Registration.
Form No.: FCC Form 854.
[[Page 49458]]
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, and state, local or tribal government.
Number of Respondents: 4,500 respondents; 4,500 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .50 hours estimated burden per
response.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirements and third
party disclosure requirement (labeling/posting requirements).
Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Total Annual Burden: 6,750 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $98,000.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Respondents may request
materials submitted to the Commission be withheld from public
inspection under 47 CFR 0.459 of the Commission's rules.
Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this information
collection (IC) to the OMB as an extension (no change in reporting,
recordkeeping and/or third party disclosure requirements) during this
comment period to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. The
Commission is reporting a -$85,000 annual cost adjustment. This
adjustment is due to a decrease in the number of responses and
therefore, annual costs, since the last submission to the OMB. FCC Form
854 is to be used to register structures used for wire or radio
communication service in any area where radio services are regulated by
the Commission; to make changes to existing registered structures or
pending applications; or to notify the Commission of the completion of
construction or dismantlement of structures, as required by Commission
rules and regulations.
Currently, each antenna structure owner proposing to construct or
alter an antenna structure that is more than 60.96 meters (200 feet) in
height, or that may interfere with the approach or departure space of a
nearby airport runway must notify the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) of proposed construction. The FAA determines whether the antenna
structure constitutes a potential hazard, and may recommend appropriate
painting and lighting for the structure. The Commission then uses the
FAA's recommendation to impose specific painting and/or lighting
requirements on subject licensees.
The information will be used by the Commission to maintain a
current registration database which increases air safety by allowing
the FAA and the Commission to identify potential hazards. One of the
Commission's primary responsibilities is to ensure that antenna
structures do not pose a threat to air safety.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
