FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission
November 16, 2001.
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
sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently
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.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted on or before December 26,
2001. If you anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find
it difficult to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice,
you should advise the contact listed below as soon as possible.
ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Judy Boley, Federal Communications
Commission, Room 1-C804, 445 12th Street, SW, DC 20554 or via the
Internet to jboley@fcc.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information or copies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-0216.
Title: Section 73.3538, Application to make changes in an existing
station.
Form No.: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit; not for profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
Total Annual Burden: 50 hours.
Total Annual Cost: $0.
Needs and Uses: On February 14, 2001, the Commission adopted a
Report and Order in MM Docket No. 93-77 in the matter of An Inquiry
Into the Commission's Policies and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service
Directional Antenna Performance Verification. This Report and Order
relaxed the technical requirements for AM stations using directional
antennae. Among other things, this Report and Order eliminated the need
to file an informal application to specify new AM station directional
antenna field monitoring points. Revised section 73.3538(b) requires a
broadcast station to file an informal application to modify or
discontinue the obstruction marking or lighting of an antenna
supporting structure. The requirement to file an informal application
to relocate the main studio outside the principal community contour has
approval under section 73.1125 (3060-0171). The data are used by FCC
staff to ensure that the modification or discontinuance of the
obstruction marking or lighting will not cause a menace to air
navigation.
