FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
Notice of Public Information Collection(s) being Reviewed by the
Federal Communications Commission for Extension Under Delegated
Authority.
November 9, 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 (PRA) of 1995, Pub. L. 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 Paperwork Reduction (PRA) comments should be submitted
on or before January 18, 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 Cathy
Williams, Federal Communications Commission, Room 1-C823, 445 12th

Needs and Uses: On February 14, 2001, the Commission adopted a
Report and Order, In the Matter of An Inquiry Into the Commission's
Policies and Rules Regarding AM Radio Service Directional Antenna
Performance Verification, MM Docket No. 93-177. This Report and Order
relaxed the technical requirements for AM stations using directional
antennas. 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. 47 CFR 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 47 CFR Section 73.1125 (3060-0171). The data is 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.
Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary.
