FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) being Reviewed by the 
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated 
Authority

November 2, 2004.
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: Persons wishing to comment on this information collection should 
submit comments January 7, 2005. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments to Judith 
B. Herman, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Room 1-C804, Washington, DC 20554 or via the Internet to 
Judith-B.Herman@fcc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB Control No.: 3060-0221.
    Title: Section 90.155, Time in Which Station Must Be Placed in 
Operation.
    Form No.: N/A.
    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: 2,055.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1 hour.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,055 hours.
    Annual Cost Burden: N/A.
    Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A.
    Needs and Uses: Section 90.155 provides that all stations must be 
placed in operation within twelve (12) months from the date of grant or 
the authorization cancels automatically and must be returned to the 
Commission. Application for extension of time to commence service may 
be made on FCC Form 601. Extensions of time must be filed prior to the 
expiration of the construction period. Extensions may be granted only 
if the licensee shows that the failure to commence service is due to 
causes beyond its control. No extensions will be granted for delays 
cause by lack of financing, lack of site availability, for the 
assignment or transfer of control of an authorization, or for failure 
to timely order equipment. If the licensee orders equipment within 90 
days of the license grant, a presumption of due diligence is created. 
The Commission is seeking extension (no change in rule requirements) to 
this information collection request. We are simply seeking the full 
three year OMB clearance.

    Needs and Uses: This rule section is necessary to require each 
fixed station in the International Aeronautical Mobile Service (IAMS) 
to maintain a written or automatic log in accordance with the 
provisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). 
This recordkeeping requirement is necessary to document specific 
information, including harmful interference, equipment failure, and 
logging of distress and safety calls where applicable. The Commission 
is seeking extension (no change in rule requirements) to this 
information collection request. We are simply seeking the full three 
year OMB clearance.
